I wanted to share with you all an interview my good blogging friend Tina from English Muse did with me recently over skype for a Lamps Plus, Style Illuminated feature. I've been friends with Tina since my early days blogging and I still haven't met her in person but it was so great to talk to her for the first time over skype! A bit surreal after communicating for so long over email.

Tina has interviewed so many amazing people in her career as a writer, and I was absolutely flattered and honoured she would want to write about me!!


Some favourites from the Lamps Plus website:
1// Robert Abbey Delta Lamp in Schiaparelli Pink,
2// White Ceramic Rabbit Nightlight

Read the article here and follow Tina's blog English Muse.

Love these paintings by Pakayla Biehn's based on double exposure photographs.

Pakayla collaborated with photographers to recreate their work in paintings, including a few of my favourites Sabino Aguad,  Tamara Lichtenstein,  and Tanya Prilukova (who I blogged about here).

It's the time of year where all the new collections are coming out. One I always look forward to seeing is Melbourne label Gorman, I love their fun use of colour and print.

See more from the Gorman A/W 2012 collection on their website here.
