Adore Home Magazine's April/May issue is my favourite so far! Jam packed with rooms to envy and style to steal; I could barely cull my favourite pages down to a suitable posting level, and even then there is plenty to see below. Hope everyone had a great weekend...
This months UK Harpers Bazaar features the seaside editorial "White Michief". Katrin Thormann plays the lady in white, lensed by Horst Diekgerdes. The D&G chiffon dress with lace embroidery was styled by fashion editor Cathy Katerine and juxtaposes perfectly with the texture of the rock behind Katrin. I saw the shots via FashionGoneRogue

Im so envious that this dresser doesn't belong to me! I'm loving the imperfect paint strokes and graphic look, as well as those crystal handles. Antique meets graphics; A great Before & After furniture makeover from Design*Sponge. It's going on my DIY to do list!

GB- Where did the idea for Beginning Boutique come from?
BB- I have a fond spot for amazing spaces and boutiques and after shopping at Colette in Paris I was sure that there was a definite need for a cool shop like that! This eventually morphed into an online store that took graphic design very seriously and provided clothes as a form of expression that not a whole pay cheque demands!
GB- Things kicked off for you in January 2008, what was the hardest part of getting BB off the ground?
BB- Getting our name out there, no one knows you exist online if you don't tell them!
GB- Biggest lesson learnt from having an online business
BB- Start small and work with what you have + LEARN THE LESSONS! By that I mean don't just do it because you want to - get some head knowledge.
GB- If you were to start all over again what would you do differently?
BB- Im not sure I would want to change anything as I have learnt so much.
GB- Describe an average day for you
BB- Hmm there isn't one, between meeting with designers, PR agents, interns, employees and trying to get some work done there really isn't anything that is continuos except a sweet-as-coffee and (!) chatting to everyone on Facebook
GB- What motivates and inspires you?
BB- I am inspired and motivated by life in general, the way a girl looks in her favourite outfit, Nylon magazine, nasty gal's store, blogs and so much more.
GB- What's the best part about working for yourself?
BB- The best part about working for myself is that I plan my day and get to do it my way.
GB- Worst part
BB- Accounting
GB- Describe Beginning Boutique in a few words
BB- BB is one of Australia's fastest growing online stores with a cool attitude, and I want to get to know you!
GB- Whats next? What does the future hold for BB ( and Sarah)
BB- Whats next… maybe getting a piece of paper showing that I have a bachelor in Business, maybe some euro travels not sure exactly, but whatever it is, it's exciting!
GB- What would you say to someone wanting to start their own business? do have advice for Australia's next generation of women entrepreneurs?
BB- If you want to start your own business GO TO UNI AND STUDY BUSINESS! Then if you still want to do it - go and intern for someone that is doing what you want to do. While you are doing this make sure that you have got it all planned - INCLUDING your plan for if things go wrong. It has to be water tight! Then start small and do it! good luck!
GB- Thanks Sarah! and good luck in 2011

As a follow on from my Lust have Trend post yesterday this first 'Camel-themed' pic was going to be my photo of the day, but once I saw the rest of the shoot the post was stretched into another 'Editorial of the day'. I'm loving the look of the layered camel shades, with the model's gorgeous pale blonde hair and flawless skin. I'm particularly coveting the last outfit, Mad Men meets Louis Vuitton? (via)
More of an 'editorial of the day'... love this multi-page stripe extravaganza. Featured in the April issue of US Harpers Bazaar it's a colourful feast for the eyes, made all the more potent by being balanced on a crisp white background with apt poses from model Patricia Van Der Vliet.
