Alice in Wonderland

For those who loved Alice in Wonderland as a child, you will be thrilled to know that a new version is coming out in 2010! I think it looks absolutely exquisite and dreamy. It stars Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, who as we all knows nails the eccentric characters so well! I still dream [...]

The cuff is designed and handcrafted by Leslie Janson, the shoes are elegant but not shy of practicality; with it’s petite heel, and as for the parasol, well…  just because. Now that [...]

The Coolest Pet Beds

Aren’t these pet beds fabulous? They have so much character yet full of simplicity. I can completely imagine them in my imaginary dream-home, yes! Mmm… a dramatic-coloured feature wall with floating shelves, various other things and this. My only question is – does the cute kitten come with it too? They are handcrafted by Brad [...]
