INDUSTRIAL STYLE PARIS HOME

30 April 2014

Petra-Bindel-Virginie-Denny-Alfonso-Valles-via-Stylejuicer-06

This industrial style townhouse is part of an old button factory in Paris. You can tell that the owners Virginie and Alfonso are artists who wanted to preserve the factory feel whilst adding vintage and eclectic finds from flea markets and antiques shops.

A very unusual home not least as they’ve built the kitchen on site – in concrete – with open shelves! A brave choice but I like how they’ve managed to combine their vintage feel with modern pieces of furniture which works surprisingly well in this converted industrial building.

The colour palette is very subdued with lots of greys, browns and olives. Even their son Leon’s bedroom has been painted in a warm olive which is an interesting choice for a kids room but blends in with the rest of the interior.

Being artists who live and work in the same place interesting pieces can be found everywhere and personally I like all the typographic elements on display, some of which are hand-made by Alfonso and some are finds from antique shops.

Clearly a designer-maker most of the furniture is also made by Alfonso, like the large dining and coffee table and his paintings are on display throughout the house. I admire their style and love their eclectic mix but personally I’d like my surroundings to be a bit more cheerful. In fact, I’ve got a great INTERIORS CRUSH coming up this Friday. Stay tuned!

What do you think of Virginie and Alfonso’s home?

FOOD HEAVEN | TWO INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE MOUSSE RECIPE

28 April 2014

OhLadycakes-Chocolate-Mousse-via-Stylejuicer-03

Happy Monday peeps! I was drawn in when this gorgeous shot of a two ingredient chocolate mousse popped into my Pinterest feed and clicked through to the fabulous Ashlae who writes a recipe blog called OhLadycakes.

Turns out she’s not just a fantastic cook, food stylist and photographer but has a great sense of humour which presumably comes from growing up with five brothers! In Ohio! Now, I don’t know that much about the States but it sounds a lot like The Walton’s to me, all wholesome goodness with big family meals. Alrighty!

She’s also a fellow chocolate addict and I love the simplicity of her chocolate mousse recipe which almost sounds too good to be true AND it’s vegan so give it a whirl and let me know how it turns out.

For more vegan recipes with a good dose of swear words head over to OhLadycakes for a smile and inspiration.

PLACES TO GO | HALLY’S CAFE AND DELI IN SW LONDON

25 April 2014

OMG! Californian beach house vibe in London!? I just came across Hally’s – a fabulous little cafe and deli – and have to share their stunning interior with you. I’m sure the food is equally divine, though I haven’t been, but trust me it’s going to be my next port of call as it’s not very far from us in South West London.

Hally’s serves Californian-inspired food using organic and ethical produce as much as possible. The owners Anna and Philip were inspired by a road trip to the Golden State and opened the cafe and deli last June.

It was Anna’s lifelong dream to open a restaurant and after acquiring the lease of a derelict cocktail bar they totally remodelled the space and designed it with a laid-back Californian beach house vibe in mind. The team at Alexander Waterworth Interiors was the driving force who did a superb job with immaculate attention to detail.

I love the white-washed brick walls and rustic bar lined with bright yellow industrial bar stools that give an instant summer vibe. I could happily blog the day away at that bar and indulge in various pastries, coffees and salads whilst people watching.

The reclaimed floor boards, rustic table tops and pastel dipped chairs make the place feel warm and lived in and I’ve got a soft spot for those nostalgic orange paperback Penguin books that mix so perfectly with the eclectic pieces on display.

Now all we need is that Californian sunshine. Anna, keep a seat at the bar for me.

ZARA BROTHERS AND SISTERS CAMPAIGN

24 April 2014

I’ve declared my passion for Zara before on here before. Their style and price point are a winning combination for me. Add to that fresh, modern and clean styling and photography and I’m sold.

Recently I came across their Brothers And Sisters campaign online which even comes with it’s own hashtag – no points for guessing what it is – #brothersandsisters, duh. I recognised the little girl in one of the shots and bingo, it turns out it is Joy Cho’s daughter from famous LA blog OhJoy, shot by her mum in Zara attire for the Brothers And Sisters campaign.

What a neat idea! And oh so clever marketing. Bloggers can associate themselves with a hip brand and get referrals from the Zara site and Zara gets kudos through their selected bloggers. Everyone’s a winner!

I might sound slightly cynical but actually I love all the shots as they feel authentic and less styled and staged than a normal photoshoot.

My favourite ones are by Swedish blogger Sofia and her four children. Four children!? How the heck does she find time to blog? She’s clearly not human and if you’d like to read more about her super human efforts hop over to Mokkasin, oh, and switch the translator on if you’re not Swedish.

Zara just can’t do wrong this season. Simple, clever, stylish. Zara, feel free to call me!
