Sea Legs

All this wet weather is giving me salty sea legs… if only I were actually by the sea. Never the less, I have had the wellies out, splashing about London and seriously considering investing in a waterproof jacket. I am really really fond of this bright fisherman’s style wax jacket by Gloverall, the original duffle coat makers for sale at Coggles. Besides the Mariner jacket there are many other seafarer items I have taken quite a fancy to, especially the Shrimp necklace by Alex Monroe for The Goring Hotel and the super cool Fisherman blouse by British Designer Charlotte taylor.

LOVE LOCAL: Chisel & Mouse

I’ve added the Chisel and Mouse studio in East Sussex to the Love Local South East section.

They’re master architects in mini models. Building in plaster they create iconic buildings that are stylish art pieces and will grace any bookshelf, desk or mantlepiece.

See them in the Love Local section here and browser their website here.

I am sure you’ll be seeing them more on my blog as I am just in love, especially with the Hoover Building as featured above, it’s definitely my favourite!

Retro stationery boutique Nineteen Seventy Three stumble across paper sculpture Holly Form via Instagram and instantly mailed her a bursting box full of bold Grafika wrapping papers over the seas to her Hamburg studio. And this is what she made.

See more of what Holly form made with the Grafika papers here and where you can buy the Grafika papers from Nineteen Seventy Three here.
