Thrifty home...

Hmm seems like I am on a bit of a furniture roll this morning... One of my favourite home blogs is Manhattan Nest - it's about a boy thrifting, DIY-ing and decorating his first apartment in New York.  Daniel is hilarious and has a great way with words.  He also seems to have the best luck when it comes to finding amazing and cheap second hand pieces.... inspires me to go rummage around at garage sales and perhaps a visit to the hardware store?

Carla Zampatti turns 50

This year marks 50 years of the iconic Carla Zampatti fashion label.   After being denied a pay rise from her  £13 a week job designing blouses for a wholesale fashion house in 1964, she launched her own label a year later and the rest is fashion history.  The fashion house  celebrated yesterday with the 2015 Spring/Summer showcase in Sydney at the Opera House.   A beautiful, elegant and gorgeous collection.   Well played Ms Zampatti.

These days I seem to rely a lot on Spotify and their playlists and recommendations which is great for busy people! But this afternoon I am feeling a bit nostalgic so reminiscing and playing some songs played at our wedding back in 2010 which is bringing back some beautiful memories.   Walking down the aisle:  First dance:
