Flattering florals - trend watch

I have always loved florals. Feminine and playfull.

Hope this trend sticks around a while - I think we could all do with a good dose of playfull this time of the year.

Lots of love,
Margaux

Trend watch - flying swallow

I have a feeling that Sienna Miller's swallow tattoo that was featured on the cover of ELLE had something to do with the swallow trend we are seeing everywhere.

From fabrics to fashion and jewellery, this little bird is big news.

Enjoy,
Margaux

Vintage movie posters

Vintage movie posters can become instant focal points in a room or a collection grouped together on a dead wall space.

Recently my movie guru boyfriend and I have been revisiting some old classic movies no one has ever heard of.

It really is the perfect way to end off a weekend - you, me and a good old school movie like "The incredible shrinking man". I would highly recommend this one.

Thanx honey for the inspiration ... xxx

From shoe organizer into vertical herb garden

Don't have enough space in your place to grow some herbs? Turn a shoe organizer into a vertical garden and as long as you have a balcony railing with sun exposure, you'll have more than enough room.

The design is simple. Hang a canvas shoe organizer, fill with potting soil and plant your favorite herbs in the pouches. With some strong sun and adequate water you'll have a thriving spread of herbs to flavor your favorite dishes. For more details on the design and implementation, check out the full tutorial here http://lifehacker.com/5311492/turn-a-shoe-organizer-into-a-vertical-herb-garden

Two-tiered container garden

This two-tiered container garden holds a selection of basic herbs. Trailers and fillers - chives rosemary and thyme - tumble over the edges of teh bottom pot (about 24 inches wide). Dwarf puple and sweet basils grow in the top pot (about 16 inches wide) with thyme filling in around the edges. To keep potted herbs healthy fertilize and water them regularly.
