FASHIONAIR-A must see!

I have been getting great ideas from FASHIONAIR for a while now and I thought I should definitely share this great website with you. It has all the fashion inspiration you would ever need.... well almost. Plus it has some chic design ideas too. My favorite parts are "Style Profile" and "7 Day of Chic". Style profile is a series of programs that give you a peak into fashion designers homes. Its a much see!!! and 7 Days of Chic is a series of programs that follow stylish women for seven days. You get to see all the different looks they create for themselves on a daily basis (Also a must see!). There is also lots of other great programs and fashion inspiration so you should DEFINITELY check it out!! Hope you enjoy

Designer of the day: Brad Ford

I have been so busy job searching lately that I have barely found the time to write on my blog. Even when I have had the extra time, the last thing I have wanted to do is stare at my computer screen! However, I must admit reading blogs and finding inspiring ideas and new interiors does provide some sort of relaxation for me. On my search for some great new inspiring designers to share with you, I came across Brad Ford, his interiors are soft warm and elegant. Not only that, Brad has been featured as one of "10 New Designers to Watch" in both New York Spaces Magazine and in New York Magazine, and he was also named one of America’s Top Young Designers by House Beautiful. He was recently featured in the The New York Times for a room he designed for Hamptons Cottages & Garden‘s 2007 Idea House and was just recognized as one of the Rising Stars of Interior Design by the International Furnishings and Design Association. Here are some snippets of his work. (oh and I just love the colours in the bedroom above)

Designer of the Day: Amanda Nisbet.

I have decided start a new feature called Designer of the Day, where I post about the designers that I love. I will try and post as regularly as I can to keep you inspired. Today I will start with Amanda Nisbet. Amanda created her interior design firm based in New York in 1998 and has had her work featured in many reputable magazines like Elle Decor, House and Garden and House Beautiful. I love Amanda's use of colour and texture, she makes me want to start using more vibrant colours throughout my home. Amanda's work is also very warm, inviting and comfortable. Here is a peak of some of her portfolio. You can also check out more of her work at her website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One Kings Lane..

As a blogger I absolutely love coming across new sites that I can get some inspiration from. After sorting and sifting through hundreds of sites and blogs it is often hard to find ones that tick all the boxes. So for all you design lovers out there, One Kings Lane is another fantastic and inspiring site. You do have to be a member, but once you are you can have full access to inspiring ideas and tips from designers, upcoming events and you can also do some shopping while you are there and to top it all off it is Free!

(The only down side for anyone who lives in Australia is that they dont ship here :( , But you can still browse through the pictures and get some great tips).
