All I want for... Winter

I was treated to a pair of beautiful Grenson boots this year but I have to admit, I already have my eye on a second - I love the biker style below... though I am similarly tempted to the patent Anthropologie design, which I think would look fantastic with skinny black velvet jeans. Oh, for that next pay cheque.

Beautiful plates from Out There Interiors

How amazing would these plates look clustered together on an exposed brick wall?

At £65 they ain't cheap, but consider each one a piece of art rather than something to eat your beans on toast off of.

Beautiful table settings from 79ideas...

Vintage Movie Pick: How to Marry a Millionare

What's not to love about a film featuring Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe looking for rich husbands? Fantastic escapism and extremely amusing, this is the perfect diversion for a rainy evening. The costumes are superb, as well as the interiors; next up, Pillow Talk with Doris Day!

Anthology

Here are some pics from my new favorite magazine, Anthology.

It's an American publication so not the easiest to get hold of, but well worth a look if possible. This cool Cape Cod house belongs to artist John Derian, and I bloody love this shot above of the dark green cabinet and delicate white ceramics.

Punchy colours

I love this image, as seen on Design Sponge.... Wish I was so brave with colour. I imagine this to be an uplifting sight on a Monday morning.

Cellar Door - sweet ideas

Love these pics from Cellar Door magazine's blog.... (http://blog.cellardoormagazine.co.uk)

(Wish I looked like this)

Grace Kelly looking awesome.

And now for holiday ideas (I wish!)

The exquisite Lake Como in northern Italy.

Cheer yourself up at Anthropologie

I could bang on endlessly about how much I love Anthropologie - I think with our notoriously unpredictable and often disappointing climate, it is uplifting to be surrounded by punchy colours. You can shop the collection at http://www.anthropologie.eu
