LUST HAVE // SIBELLA COURT x MC TAVISH SURFBOARDS

The Society Inc super stylist Sibella Court has collaborated with Byron Bay board makers McTavish to release the Gypsy surfboard range in time for summer.

Using patterns and colours influenced by her travels (and her new book Gypsy) Sibella worked with young Australian designers and artists to create 5 completely different designs for the longboards. Currently only 3 have been released - Indigo (dyed by Shibori), Jungle (print by Bethany Linz) and Flamingo (designed by The Society Inc). Still to come is Giraffe, designed by paper social favourite bonnie and neil  as well as the final The Society Inc design - Suzani.

And if your like me and not quite up there with Kelly Slater in the water (although longboards are the perfect 'beginners' board) they would certainly make a cool addition staying dry on a wall at home too. Purchase the boards here and keep an eye out for the final two designs to be unveiled. I can't wait.

WINDOW SHOPPING // FREEDOM & MOZI

 

Well it was a hot one in Sydney this weekend and it seems the hours spent outside are about to increase dramatically. Bust out the sunglasses because picnics, BBQ's and general splish splash by the pool are about to get a little brighter if the new summer range from Freedom is anything to go by. Today I have paired the colourful outdoor range with the flirty illustrated textiles of Mozi's new Tropicalia collection. Is it not just a match made in alfresco heaven?

1. Pear Cactus | 2. Hamilton Pot Stand | 3. Melamine Dinner Plates | 4. Macrame Pot Hanger | 5. Moloko Occasional Chair | 6. Pineapple Door Stop | 7. Tropicalia Scarf | 8. Pineapple Cushions | 9. Coin Purse | 10. Tropicalia Cushion | 11. Deck Chair | 12. Demijohn Vessel | 13. Pineapple Lantern | 14. Paper Napkins | 15. Colour Palette Tumblers | 16. Finger Cactus

POSTCARDS FROM SYDNEY

Some of you might not be aware, but my parents recently upped and left Sydney to start a new life in the south west of France. It's a hard life for them; wining and dining, scouring brocante markets for vintage treasures, making their own jam and slowly stocking their wine cellar (slowly only because Dad is drinking it as fast as it is stocked), but it seems they do still get a little home sick.

So last weekend I ventured out into the sunshine to shoot some of my favourite spots in our sparkling city of Sydney so I could send them a little piece of home. The images above include views across Sydney Harbour from Cremorne Point, the secluded beaches and trails of my home suburb of Clontarf as well as the waves at Avalon on the Northern Beaches.

And if you're interested in what kind of a lifestyle on the other side of the world could have dragged them away from THIS, check out their own blog Rustique France (yes, i've taught the old folks how to blog) and read all about la vie française!

STICKY BEAK // MISTER ZIMI'S BALI VILLA

And it's a double dose of Mister Zimi this week as I thought i'd also share Zoe and Jimi's new villa in Umalas, Bali which is available for holiday rentals.
I love the tiles in the bathrooms and the little accents using fabric's from past Mister Zimi ranges, but most of all I love the colour of that garden gate - fluro yellow, hello!!!!
