Golden Hour

My favourite time of the day has always been that last hour when the sun hits the horizon .. ‘the magic hour’.  As a photographer and artist that golden hour is something that we chase, like a pot of gold  .. literally .. under the rainbow.  Light is one of the most integral elements in

Sunday Sanctuary: She’s Electric

This space is the perfect example of less is more, sometimes the more you let a space breathe, the bigger the impact… And just one glance at this to die for Parisian apartment tells me so much about the people living inside. They have me hooked and now I want to know more, I think this

Loose Ends

The Libran in me struggles with any lack of symmetry, call it borderline OCDC or maybe even a creative streak, but anything asymmetric usually throws me off guard .  Well times they are a changin baby, lately with a series of slinky asymmetric knits marching down the runway, the scales they are a tipping.  Ryan Roche’s

Sunday Sanctuary: Boy Meets Girl

When it comes to design, I feel like finding the perfect mix between masculine and feminine can sometimes be a little on the difficult side. Sometimes the boys in our lives don’t always get a look in on the interiors side of things… my place is a perfect example of this (sorry Sammy). Somehow this space

The Vetements Effect

The Vetements Jean, you know that you’ve been drooling over them from Tommy Ton’s New York fashion week street style images to the pages of W Magazine.  The thing is, it’s not every day that you feel like maxing out your daily limit on a pair of denim jeans, right? Well, before you start imagining

Cut Work

Sometimes it’s not what you put into something but it’s what you take out.  The cut-out trend and I have been on and off again lovers, dancing the game of are we meant to be together or are we better off calling it quits until further notice. However, in recent times thanks to the likes

Sunday Sanctuary: Extracarricular

Believe it or not, we are all welcome to stay in this incredible place anytime we like… Well, at least anytime we are in Belgium looking for a place to rest our weary feet. You see, in addition to being a design lovers delight, this space is a Bed and Breakfast immaculately styled by Bea Mombaers, a collector

Mixed Messages

   In the year ahead, I’d promised myself to wear more colour.  So this week (being the crazy risk taker I am) I’ve decided that camel should be included in the typical monochromatic Shadforth wardrobe, I know .. really living on the edge here.  The ‘natural’, uh hem .. pardon the pun, way to include new hues

Sunday Sanctuary: Detail Oriented

At first glance it might be easy to think that the interior in this place is quite simple and adheres to minimalist styling principles… But don’t let first impressions fool you, take a closer look and you can’t help but get lost in the details… x Stadshem  .  Jonas Berg Photography  .  Pinterest  .  Tumblr

Blurred Lines

Today in the office we’re officially declaring today no pants Friday.  That’s not to say that we feel as though pants are not an important part of a girls wardrobe but when you’ve had a week like me and the weekend is just around the corner pants become optional.  I must also admit that 2

Sun Escape

Back at the beginning of 2011 I was booked to style a shoot for an Australian Designer, it was only the second styling job that I had ever undertaken so you can imagine I was feeling a little nervous but quietly excited.  Luckily on the call sheet were a few familiar names, but one person

The Feelings Neutral

Mother nature didn’t paint us in shades of neutral for nothing, but let’s not talk about your birthday suit, let’s talk about the sartorial opportunity to ‘neutralise’ your look.  From camel to coffee,  from ochre to khaki neutrals hold their ground season after season.  Whether your feeling the neutral on neutral vibe as pictured above, or just a
