vintage love - to have and bhldn

 These images from behind the scenes at the photoshoot for the fabulous 'bhldn' (pronounced beholden -inspired by the Dutch word for "to keep") over at Oh Joy! were to absolutely darling and we couldn't wait to see what the team behind the fabulous Anthropologie was going to inspire and delight us with through this venture. If you're swooning over some of our favourites from BHLDN that we've shared below, you'll have to wait a little longer until they ship directly to Australia, but if you're desperate look into a US mail forwarding service like Bongo to help deliver these stylish vintage inspired delights.

Foodie Friday - Australia Day Super Styling

Check out these amazing images by Katie of 'What Katie Ate' for 'Real Living' Magazine that we discovered while searching for inspiration for this years Australia Day celebrations. Loving the way the food styling has given a nod to the green and gold, and completely adore the decorative and floral elements that have been incorporated, fun & unique but refined - love it!

Aussie As

It's one week exactly until in true Aussie style we enjoy another public holiday... can't wait! Last year the invite went out alright vegemite & we celebrated with a back yard bbq and a bit of driveway cricket, but in true m&g style couldn't resist imparting a stylish touch to the green and gold... hessian, yellow gingham & gumnuts with home made treats with an aussie flavour, lamingtons & pavalova - yum! An intentionally fun and kitchy spread that went down a treat :) 7 sleeps to go and counting until a mid-week mini holiday yay!

Eat cheese and be merry

Gabrielle recently celebrated her birthday, and decided to throw a simple yet marvelous dinner party for 26 of her closest friends and family. With Mary's help, the tables were set, the salmon was baking, the potatoes were boiling, the Pimms was flowing and the Cheese quickly vanishing.

Merry Christmas

We hope you had a wonderful day full of food, family and fun! In celebration of Christmas here are images from our SA Life shoot with Sally from Poppies Flowers and Alicia from Akimbo. Enjoy the holidays and have a Happy New Year!

Stay tuned for more pics of our fab styling efforts as we have a heap of detail shots that we can't wait to share!

christmas merriment

this past monday night & tuesday was spent styling up a fab christmas spread for a photoshoot with the supertalented Sally from Poppies. With Christmas not far off now (- yay for holidays!! ) we thought we'd give you a sneak peek into the palette & style inspiration we collated for Sally & the shoot.

Memorable Marquees

In the spirit of the day we thought we'd share our two all time favourite Melbourne Cup Marquees... These are both absolutely fabulous examples of how the skills of qualified & talented interior designers can transform spaces into truely unique and memorable environments.

Both of these amazing marquees demonstrate clearly that event design is far more than just styling, choosing a colour theme and table decorations, these marquees exemplify design through their dedication to the attention to detail, the considered maniuplation of space and creating atmosphere through the innovative application of layering texture, colour, light, movement and object... yay for design!!
