Stunning Detail

I have so many beautiful & inspirational images still left to share. Marrakech has really inspired me everywhere you look there is something creative & striking.

Here are some images taken at one of the beautiful palaces I visited in the heart of the old city. The architecture & the attention to detail is just amazing!

by Catherine Hammerton

Hello snowy Thursday!
Looks like now even the weather wants Christmas to come early, so cold. Today I would like to introduce Catherine Hammerton!  This is a brilliant example of beautiful things 100% designed and made in Britain and made with love and care. Based in London, they specialize in home accessories and my personal favourite, bespoke wallpapers that have amazing texture and life. Take a look at their website.

Warm yourselves up! See you next week... love Moni.

Funny Stuff!

These pics are not really design related but hopefully they will make you giggle! I went on a camel ride for the first time ever & loved it:) they really are beautiful animals with the most gorgeous & long eyelashes too!

I snapped a few pics at the end of the beautiful Ayesha as she was pulling lots of funny faces!

Majorelle Gardens continued...

 

Majorelle Garden

Here are some images taken at the beautiful Majorelle Garden, I just loved it there... the layout & setting is really striking. I love how the brave contrast of the vibrant blues & yellows (of the building etc) are offset against the layers of green foliage & plants that decorate the garden.

It really is stunning, my pictures don't do it enough justice! I'd recommend it as a must see if visiting Marrakech.

 

Yummy Stuff!

Here are some quick snapshots of some gorgeous & yummy cakes that we had when we were away. They looked so nice I didn't want to break a piece off and ruin the design! I think I'm a fair bit heavier after my trip! ooops!!

Streets of Marrakech...

Happy Friday! here are a few pretty street pics from the beautiful pink city!

The Secret Lives of Princesses

Thursday's here, whoopie!
Halloween has passed, so has the middle of the month, Christmas is undeniably in the air now and although we all try to hold up taking out the tree or singing along to all the songs, it is time to start thinking about wish lists and gift shopping.  This is my #1 wish item this joyfull season, a children's book.  The Secret Lives of Princesses is a beautiful collection of stories by Philippe Lechermeier and illustrated by Rébecca Dautremer. These are no ordinary princesses and although you might have not heard from them before, they all have a charming and interesting story to tell.  Magical illustrations bring Princess Somnia, Princess Meetu and many others to life and make this a fantastic book.


So be sure to look it up on your next trip to the book shop. Have a great day, Love Moni!

Florals!

I photographed absolutely everything that inspired me on the trip... I always get lots of design ideas from just walking around with my camera. Here are a few pretty florals that were dotted around the beautiful gardens at the hotel.

Hope you like them!
