GLAMAROUS TRAVELS ON PAPER

 
What's not to love about these bold, vintage-style, travel posters from new kid on the block Custom Canvas Company.

Designer Alan Walsh is launching his 'Travels of Vivienne' collection at Sydney's The Foxhole Small Bar on October 31, journeying through some of Europes most glamarous destinations with his impeccably cool, minimalist designs.

J'adore!

HOME SWEET HOME

So after 6 weeks we are finally settling into our new Clontarf pad. The cardboard boxes have been cleared (well hidden under the house) and with summer right around the corner we're already enjoying our massive balcony, daylight savings and the short stroll (well stairs really) down to the beach.

With all the amazing scenic walks nearby (pictures from the Spit to Manly walk and Cremorne Point above) I have a new found appreciation for Sydney and how spoilt we really are. There's no way i'll be letting this summer go to waste!

STICKY BEAK // JOHN ROCHA'S FRENCH OASIS

Can you believe that this tropical oasis is actually located in the south of France?

At first glance I assumed the lush garden, tribal sophistication and limestone combination of this palatial pad was straight from south of the equator in typical Australian or South American style. But no, it's actually the holiday home of british fashion designer John Rocha on the French Riviera's St Jean-Cap Ferrat. 

Perfect combo don't you think?

LIVING LIFE INSTYLE

It's been nearly 2 months since Life Instyle Melbourne but life has been pretty hectic so apologies for the tardiness. 

For 2 weeks in August I called my hotel room in Melbourne home. Life's not always glamorous in the event industry but the hard work is always worth it when it all comes together at the finish line. Life Instyle was no exception with long days/nights, the blistering cold Melbourne winter and extreme show foot, however the show looked amazing and as usual our exhibitors brought their A-game to display the best brands in the retail business. Not to mention our own little touches including our post-it-note wall (above), astro turf lounge, and chalk boards designs.

Of course there is no way I would have survived without the best team in the biz. Amelia, Tea, Brad, Mel, Mousa, Jac, Adam & Tim are the reason I didn't go completely crazy (well more crazy then I already am). They make getting out of bed each morning after only 4hrs sleep so much easier as well as being able to share those uncontrollable giggles when you're running on empty at the end of the day.

Here's a colourful snapshot of the show and some of the goodies you can expect on the shelves this season. And for more of the products on show check out my Neon's & Neutrals post over on the Life Instyle Blog.
