Loving...

I love BoConcept, I have a couch, armchair and table from them, they are great quality and timeless.

NYC here I come...

Very excited about heading to New York on thursday for the first time! So lucky as there is a massive shopping day on Thursday when we arrive... I love the T-shirt! I can't wait to get one!

Hubby Hubby

A big pat on the back for Ben & Jerry's. It's refreshing to see a brand not afraid of alienating buyers by standing up for what is right. Most Marketing Departments would baulk at the idea or re-branding one of their products in support of gay marriage, as Ben & Jerry's did with Chubby Hubby now aptly named Hubby Hubby in the State of Vermont where they have legalized Gay Marriage.

Statement rings...

I currently have a thing for statement rings, all of the above are available from net-a-porter.

Vincent Van Duysen

So much talent, the amazing Vincent Van Duysen, Architect, 

Interior and Product Designer, I love the simple, clean lines 

throughout all his work.

NYC here I come...

I just ordered this fab print for friends of ours in NYC who recently got engaged! Really, really looking forward to celebrating with them in not so many days time!!

Available from Ork Posters

Great Wine Tags

Aren't these just brilliant? A friend in work showed them to me today, they are available from popptags

Would you?

Ever since the days of Pretty Woman and Julia Roberts I have thought thigh high boots are pretty cool...in a not that I'd ever wear them kind of way! But if I lived a different life in New York perhaps and had cash to splash I'd be buying these fab Stella McCartney boots on net-a-porter for a mere 880 euro!

Squirrelly Love...

I love these beautiful squirrels from Enormous Champion, and I love, love the packaging. They'd make a great engagement present!

They are available from their Etsy Shop.

Wildchild Originals

I really miss this shop on George's St, Dublin, I forgot they had such a good website!

Dirty Dishes...

These beautiful T-Towels will make wash-up more fun! from hammocks and hightea

Fab Prints...

I'd LOVE both of the above but I can't buy any more prints until I frame the ones I already have! They are from madebygirl

I want these placemats...

so beautiful.. also from charlesandmarie.com a steal at 21euro!

Phonofone

Phonofone is a beautifully designed speaker by Science + Sons, it's constructed entirely from ceramic, requires no external power source or batteries and has a ipodstand so you can play music from your ipod outloud, I would love it for my living room!

The audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibles(or roughly the maximum volume of laptop speakers).

Just a little pricey at 475euro!! From charlesandmarie.com

Amazing Artists...

Christo and Jeanne-Claude are a married couple who create environmental works of art. I think they are amazing and would love to have seen one in the flesh, my lucky parents happened to be in NYC when they had  The Gates in Central Park.

Their works include the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont-Neuf bridge in Paris, the 24-mile-long artwork called Running Fence in Sonoma and Marin counties in California. 

Coincidentally Christo and Jeanne-Claude were born on the same date, 13 June 1935, and allegedly in the same hour.

On the list...

On the LONG list of things to do is pay a visit to the Falling Garden in Venice, a church so beautiful it's breathtaking.
