Design Team. Fabric Obsession

The other day, I went to check out Brooklyn Mall (which I think I may just be in love with), and there I found the coolest shop – Design Team Having recently moved, I do feel that I am cheating on fashion with furniture – and my obsession for a pretty pad is getting stronger! I’ve been looking for cute, different and stylish scatter cushions for some time, and have held off buying ones for the sake of buying, until I could find ones that I was absolutely head-over-heels-in-love with! And I finally found them, in the prettiest and coolest fabrics at Design Team. If you’re ever around Brooklyn, make a stop at their first store! You will go nuts for the pretty patterns. Besides scatters (made with down feathers), you’ll also find fabric sold by the meter, wallpaper, aprons, throws, tablecloths, runners, napkins and more. I’m obsessed with their Love Doll print and their Gemsbok design. I keep popping in regularly, hoping that they’ll have scatters in this fabric soon! [signature]

Stylish Reading – Jonathan Adler Happy Chic Accessorizing

Just got my hands on Jonathan Alder’s book, Happy Chic Accessorizing and feeling very inspired by some of his design ideas. Like most of you that read this blog, I’m no interior decorator, but I do like everything to look like it’s been expertly chosen and placed, whether its makeup, clothes, furniture or the odd vase in the corner. This book gives lovely ideas on how to place items on your coffee tables, how to decorate your bed and just general stuff on how to make everything look more, well, happy chic! Conformity is a bore, Jonathan’s mantra is classic foundation, playful punctuation and you’ll find a lot of this in his book. I’m off to make myself a big ol cup of coffee, put my feet up and and start reading. Oh, and speaking of coffee… Jonathan Adler designs and sells a wide range  of cute accessories (among other things via his site), but I do love this stylish, eco coffee cup he designed for Starbucks Buy this book online from Kalahari

Create mood boards with Moodboard Pro for iPad

I’m having so much fun on my iPad, it really is the most awesome thing ever! One of the apps I recently bought was the MoodBoard Pro app. I had the lite (in other words, free) version for a while and found it to be a little boring as you could only do one mood board at a time, and the number of images you could place was limited. The pro version however, is awesome! Awesomeness for under $10 and under R100! It’s prefect for organizing and saving all your favourite things and finding inspiration. You could use it for fashion mood boards (or how I have below), to create mood boards of home decor ideas. Heck, you could use it for anything! The best thing about it besides beeing fun to use, with little drawing pins and tape effects, but I love how you can clip images off websites and it saves the link within the image, so that you can refer to it later. You can create colour pallets by importing images from the web or your iPad photogallery and you can share your board with friends on email, Facebook or Twitter – how cool. Check out my…
