// CATCH ME IF YOU CAN //

______________________________________

At times I have a tendency to be out-of-sight, out-of-mind. Meanwhile that's happening.. hop on over to my Tumblr for some constant feeds of inspiring pictures and sayings to keep your creative appetite full.

When I'm not there, you can find me on Pinterest where I am constantly replenishing my 30 pin boards full of healthy {and sometimes not so healthy} recipes, style inspirations, interior design ideas, travel destinations and quirky fun bits that are too cool/cute not to pin!

I'm a sporadic Tweeter so, at times you can find me there - but usually I'm posted up on Instagram snapping pictures of my ongoing obsession with coffee and all things fashion and travel - it's hard not to post pictures as if I'm constantly on vacation because, well, living in Dubai pretty much is like being on holiday every day of the week. I know, tough life.

So there you have it, I promise to swing by every so often, but I have a tendency to let my mind and self wander - it's the only way to learn new things!

I couldn't be more excited to see that one of my go-to fashion sites has just officially launched their first sister site for inspiration at home. WHO WHAT WEAR recently launched DOMAINE, the place for shopping, style, and inspiration for the home and I must say, I am inspired. 

Ever since my move to Dubai, I feel like I am constantly looking for new interior ideas for my apartment. I started out thinking minimalist was the best way to go with whites, blacks, greys and here and there, a touch of colour. Suddenly, that isn't quite the case anymore. With a royal blue couch, bright orange printed pillow and white sheepskin throw pillows, my apartment is totally turning into the eclectic reflection of my personal style. I have to admit, I kind of love it. 

Now that DOMAINE has officially launched, my search for the perfect at home inspiration can end - though I will most likely still be spending hours on Pinterest saving my "must design" rooms. 

My top picks of inspiration photos soon to come... 

In the meantime go check out DOMAINEHOME.COM, you can thank me later!

CURRENTLY TRENDING: BLUE

After seeking loads of inspiration for "Mission: Apartment Makeover 101" mentioned here, from fashion and interior trends, I started to lose sight of what kind of vibe I wanted my apartment to have. There are too many amazing schemes that can be created and one in particular I had been avoiding... I'd recently been told to stay away from blues when it comes to home decor because it has a tendency to add a bit of a "chill" to the room.. aka "it's far too cold to decorate with!" Well, forget that idea, because I have officially fallen back in love with navy blue and well, all blues for that matter... The key to the balancing act, so I've learned, is to bring in brassy golds, warm wood furnishings, crisp whites and variations of the blue you have chosen as your base, and voila!

Once I saw this image (though burgundy is the focal point)
I knew I had my colour palate down...

 Only over the past few months did I finally start to build up a true infatuation with leopard spots. I've always admired from afar but never really indulged completely in the classic print as a staple in my wardrobe. Sure, it goes with everything, compliments practically any colour and also adds a bit of glam to anything, be it home decor or an outfit. Yet, I just never quite found a piece I really felt the need to purchase. Until recently...Starting with a pair of Sam Edelman flats at Lord & Taylor back in December [in New York] which is where my little love story with leopard began.

Comfort? check.

Print perfection? check.

Added twist? check.

Reasonable price point? check and check!

Now, suddenly I've found myself on a Pinning binge, saving image after image that gives full props to wearing leopard + decorating with leopard... All of which lead me to purchase #2. 

A Ted Baker, London pony hair tote. 

Next up? A leopard decorative pillow for my current project: Mission Apartment Makeover 101.

Stay tuned for pictures to follow my mission... 

MAKING MY MOVE//

After packing up my bags and moving to another country (the United Arab Emirates) in December of 2011, I decided it was finally time to throw caution to the wind and go after my dreams full throttle.
