More dream furniture by the folk at Folkform
ps. did anyone have one of these when they were little? I loved mine and think I would love this cabinet just as much.
I never fail to be inspired by Susie's blog. A myriad of colour, pattern and texture, her personal style photos are just waiting to be drawn and her ability at finding new and upcoming talent is a talent in itself!
How could I not love Alex Monroe jewellery? It appeals to me on every level..tiny and delicate, little sparkly bits and of course those little birds. Admittedly, I don't like every product I see with a bird plastered over it but his jewellery really is beautiful and I can fully understand why he won the Jewellery Designer of the Year prize at the UK Jewellery Awards last year.

Sorry for the bad photo :)
Seriously, they took my breath away and her ethos of "re-use, re-flect and love what belongs to us" matches my thinking completely, having recently become addicted to trawling ebay for old furniture to "do up".
My interpretation of some latest Sartorialist lovelies
Trying a new style out...hmm...opinions? I'm quite liking them (but that might just be because there's a sausage dog)
Personally I'm going for a Mia Farrow crop on Monday. 
Not that I'm encouraging drinking or anything but the little birds do enjoy a cocktail or two.
Maybe these Jeffrey Campbell cutaway boots are more appropriate for summer?
A nice of bit studding by Jeffrey Campbell again, much more tempting for summer (although it's still too cold here to get my tootsies out yet)
Situated in an old warehouse in the fashionable Marais district, Merci is a shop that was “born of a dream” and very much a shop with a conscience. Marie France explained to me how much has been made in the press about it being a shop for charity but she saw it more as a shop with an aim to help others, not one of charity. The products sold there are high end fashion, jewellery and homewares as well as other lovely little bits and pieces but all of the proceeds go towards helping young women in Madagascar. "I know retail, I can see like everybody else that everything is too expensive, that it's all window-dressing," said Marie-France Cohen. "We want to offer goods that are as cheap as possible but as attractive as possible."
(me displaying my ambition to become a secret agent, taking sneaky photos of potential customers!) Speaking of the customers, they all seemed to epitomise french laid back chic captured by Garance Dore and The Sartortialist :)
