Eye Catching Find - Hemnes Sidetable

This is a simple yet pretty Ikea find. The Hemnes bedside table is perfect for a little girls room or even your own. I have a bit of a vintage feel in my bedroom with soft teals, off-white and vibrant pinks, so I think this would work very well. I'll definitely be keeping it in mind for my next bedroom overhaul.

This beautiful Resin White Coral Chandelier would look gorgeous in a nautical inspired home against bright hues.

It would make for such a beautiful centerpiece of a dining room or entrance area.

I think of wedding invitations as a taste of what your big day is going to be, for your guests. They can really set the style for your wedding and are the first thing your guests see before your big day finally arrives.
If you are feeling a bit frazzled at the very thought of finding the perfect invitations for your wedding, then look no further. Bridedesign offers unique designs tailored to the exact look you want in the lead up to your wedding day.
From modern lines, or traditionally unique, Erin from Bridedesign can help you create a memorable invitation.

Bridedesign's website is currently being revamped and will launch soon, so keep an eye out. You can read more about Bridedesign on the Bridedesign blog.

If you want something even more tasty than ink and paper invitations, you can opt for edible wedding invitations from Invitastions! What a delicious idea! These edible invitations are also designed by Erin of Bridedesign.

Moondrop Clothiers


Helping nature is something close to my heart and I have come across a company with the same vision in mind, Moondrop Clothiers. Sustainable products that are socially concious and environmentally friendly.

Pictured are some of their village craft items. The fair trade Thailand textile Lahu zippered pouches which are made by Lahu Womens Organisation. The organisation is made up of women who are mostly refugees from Burma with no income. So by purchasing their creations you are helping to give their family an income.

By shopping at Moondrop Clothiers, you'll get good karma and be able to contribute to the global community by purchasing fair trade items without harming the environment. What a great idea!

Rexbo Shelving Unit

I was browsing through the Ikea Australia website and liked the look of the Rexbo shelving unit for a small space I have in my bedroom. I'm in desperate need of storage space in there! This may be my solution, plus its unique and easy on the eye.

Perfect at the $59.00 price tag to boot.

I think I'll have to pop in to Ikea when I'm nearby in the next few weeks.
