I hope you're all having a lovely Easter. I've embraced the chance to relax, have fun with the kids (we even braved the Royal Easter Show this year) and of course indulge in a good dose of chocolate. I find that when I get back on the Internet after a break I become completely immersed in catching up on the world of interiors. Great inspiration but a huge distraction when there is so much work to be done! I have some exciting projects on the go right now and I can't wait to share. In the meantime (with the first Musings + Moodboards post I have done in a very long time), here are a few things from my wishlist and mental scrapbook of ideas.
It's been a long weekend here in NZ, and last night we were over at friends enjoying what I'm sure will be the last barbecue for a while. The weather has packed in today and it's finally starting to feel like winter. This morning we're off to brunch with family and then I'll be settling in to work for the afternoon. I'm hoping the rain will set the mood for some great productivity, but it's also a good excuse for online shopping don't you think? I always seem to splurge a little more in winter, probably as a way of cheering myself up during the dreary months. This may also provide some last minute Mother's Day gift ideas for those who need it! Here's what I'm currently craving.
Although it's been on my to-do list since the start of the month this post has somehow never been ticked off, until now! The upside is I've had a bit more time to think about what I'm currently coveting, and I've even ordered a couple of things on my wishlist!
When it comes to interiors, I find grey to be an excellent staple. A grey sofa or rug in the living area provides a great starting point, while grey furnishings such as cushions and linens look great with monochrome, neutrals and wood. For Spring and summer I especially love grey mixed with fresh whites and soft pastels. For bolder colours or to change things up with the cooler seasons, I like the idea of trying navy, mustard, or burgundy.

You'll always find grey in my home and wardrobe, and I'm already looking ahead to winter, with a few things on the wishlist such as a wool coat and sneakers. Highly unlikely that I'll be buying the Marc Jacobs coat and pieces by Muuto this winter, but a girl can dream, right?
