wardrobe crush: barbara martelo

how insanely cool is barbara martelo? she wears leather in such a sophisticated way even though she has a casual style. she seems to love isabel marant, givench, balmain (who doesnt), short skirts, and high heels. and i bet those designers love the way she styles their clothes... with ease and a cool charm. heres a blurb on her straight from her website: "Barbara Martelo, born in Madrid, graduated in law at the Universidad Pontificia (ICADE) in Madrid. She started her career in fashion as a stylist at TELVA magazine. She then joined VOGUE Spain before becoming a freelance stylist in 2007.Nowadays, Barbara publishes in several magazines such as Spanish VOGUE and VANITY FAIR or the Spanish leading newspaper “El PAIS”. She also works as a consultant for designers and stores such as EKSEPTION."

fashion friday: mum and i

saw this dress on polyvore and i couldnt resist making a set for it. it all feels a little french to me (although im not sure french women wear connies and ray bans?). the fur jacket may be  a bit much...but hey how amazing would it feel strutting a pregnant belly in a big fur coat!

wednesday in house: black and white is always nice

i've just realised how long i've been mia from the blog! wow time flies...and thats pretty much what we've been doing too, flying to and from australia, singapore and bali twice (yes very lucky :), mix in a bit of sickness and a whole lot of playing with toys and your pretty much up to speed. 

heres some inspiration using my favourites black, white and grey. i love the baskets theyve used in the first image, i don't know how long they'd stay in tact at our house if they had balls in them though! notice how the small pop of yellow in the first two photos seems to be enough to bring out all the elements in the room and stop the rooms from looking too serious for a child. enjoy...
