Hello everyone! Have you heard of Monique Germon? No? That’s alright, I haven’t heard of her either until now, so I knew I must introduce Monique to all of you! The title of this post says everything actually – she’s a designer, stylist, photographer, writer and art director (quite impressive, right?). She lives in Australia and has a background in classical singing, piano & extensive travel. Monique now works as a creative professional on various projects focusing mainly on design, writing & photography and her style is all about charm and whimsy – sounds perfectly attractive as I always thought that a good slice of relaxed humor makes art even more stunning and catchy. Here’s some of Monique’s work, but on her site and blog you’ll find much more, so go ahead, check it out!
Home Tour: Dana of Yellowtrace
Good morning, people and happy Tuesday! From today I’m back to blogging, will be posting regularly, just as before. Our wedding was fantastic and I can’t wait to share with you a picture or two. My family left today and I’m a bit sad, so I thought that some blogging will be the best therapy! I’d like to invite you to a gorgeous home located in Sydney, Australia which belongs to Dana Hughes, interior designer and blogger behind Yellowtrace. Imagine my surprise when a while back Dana contacted me and told me she’s actually from Serbia! I then felt unbelievably happy and proud to know such a talent and even more to learn she’s from here – I told you Serbians are amazingly creative people! So now, please join me in visiting Dana’s home!
Everyday fabulous {August 11th, 2010}
Hi everyone! I know that I didn’t update my Everyday fabulous category for a while, but I’m here now to make it up to you. And for today I have a home-y, comfy and warm picture for you! Enjoy!

I’m simply obsessed with all these layered patterns, not to mention the rustic feeling I got when seeing this picture! These rugs are such an amazing detail and I think that’s what makes this room so inviting! How pretty are the old & new stuff? Or the mismatched chairs in here? Blissful!
What do you think, friends?

Home Tour: Joanna Goddard from A cup of Jo
Hello, my pretty friends! Happy Monday to you all and a wonderful week! Today I’d like to show you all a stylish and cozy home which belongs to a very VERY talented blogger, writer, woman and a new mom – Joanna Goddard from A cup of Jo blog. Joanna lives in her Manhattan apartment with her husband and their utterly cute baby boy, Toby. Their home is so light, showing personality and a great taste! Just a note, the designer which worked her magic there is Jenny Komenda from Little Green Notebook blog that is a daily read for many of us, full of inspiring posts. So, please take a look at some pictures of Joanna’s home, to read more, click here.
Bathroom & Personality
Hi everyone and happy Friday to you all! Today I want to speak about bathrooms and you know why? Because something tells me that a bathroom speaks the best about the personality of the owner of it. Being a very intimate space (maybe even more intimate than the bedroom), bathroom designs show us whether the person loves romantic & light bathrooms, with white walls and florals seen in the shower curtain, or the owner tends to have a modern, high-end bathroom, with stylish colors and accessories. Either way, I intensely think that if you show me your bathroom, I’ll be able to sketch your personality and name some features you have :). No, I don’t do clairvoyance, I guess here is more about analyzing, what do you think?
Home Tour: Yvonne from SimplYvonne
Hi everyone! Recently I was introduced to a site which is a delight for all of us, design-addicts-loving-real-homes, it’s about Deco my place. Last week I spent couple days (!) browsing through all the pictures that users upload, usually pictures are of their homes. And I came across an extraordinary home, one of the most elegant and modern I’ve seen lately! Long story short, that home belongs to Yvonne, author of Simplyvonne blog, and her husband, they bought their home two years ago and have been renovating-redecorating ever since. But the result is so worth the input! I think I wasn’t breathing while looking at the pictures of Yvonne’s home. Mostly in brown and cream, the living and dining rooms are superb, the bedroom is a light space, the only bright colors seen in the sheets which are Yvonne’s weakness. That home is a perfect proof that life is all about little details and it’s a must-see, people!
Susannah Conway Photography
Perhaps you remember when I was tweeting and posting everywhere that I’m the lucky winner of Covet Chicago giveaway, don’t you? I won five gorgeous prints kindly offered by four very generous sponsors: Susannah Conway, Victoria of sfgirlbybay, Ez of Creature Comforts and Cara of Hilljoy Photography (how lucky am I?). So I’ve been wanting to feature each and every single of these talented photographers and for the start, welcome Susannah Conway! I’ll be straight to you, I was introduced to Susannah’s work when I checked Brigitte‘s giveaway sponsors and oh, I was instantly enamored with her dreamy photography! With a vintage feeling, Susannah Conway’s photography is the piece of art that would look amazing in a home, giving it that special charm and catchy look. I’m very honored to have two of Susannah’s prints in my home (hopefully soon) and now I want to share with you some of the pictures from Susannah’s portfolio:
A magical wedding
I want to share with you now some pictures of a magical wedding and hope you’ll like it. A very darling friend of mine got married short time ago and although I couldn’t attend her wedding (sadly!) I shared her happiness through the pictures that were taken and let me tell you one thing: if you want to see an adorable princess with an utterly happy face then please relax and take a look at these pictures! Thanks so much to Ana for sharing with all of us these beautiful moments of her life! Nothing left than just to wish her a happy marriage ever after!
Stylist Twig Hutchinson
I’m not feeling as in my best moments right now, so a dose of peaceful interiors and photography would be a perfect remedy. And thinking that the styling work of London based stylist Twig Hutchinson is what I need. I loved her gorgeous work, full of patterns and saturated colors, which at the same time feels so calming and warm. Twig’s work was published in magazines such as British Marie Claire, Homes & Gardens, Sunday time style and others and I want to share with you now a few pictures that smiled at me, but make sure you check the entire portfolio of Twig (such an unusual name!).
