MOVING HOUSE

SO WE'VE WORKED OUR LITTLE FINGERS TO THE BONE, BUT ITS OFFICIAL: THERES A HIPPIE IN HARRODS NOW, WE WERE INVITED, WE DIDN'T EVEN CRASH THE PARTY. GO SAY HELLO ON THE 4TH FLOOR AT THE 9LONDON CORNER.

WE'RE ALSO AT THE DIVINE KATRINA PHILLIPS IN NOTTING HILL AND AT LOVELY EMILY EVANS BOUTIQUE IN SLOANE SQUARE. 

THIS WEEK HAS SEEN ALIX OF BOHEMIA BEING STOCKED AT SOME PRETTY HEAVY REAL ESTATE; WE'LL TAKE A TEPEE IN ANY OF THOSE POSTCODES HAPPILY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 

 FOR THIS MOST RECENT WORK, WE EXPLORED WHITE ON WHITE TEXTURE, AND KEPT THE STORY SIMPLE, TURQUOISE, YELLOW WITH A DASH OF CORAL AND FUSCHIA. ITS ALL A RIFF ON THE OLD FAVOURITE CAMELIA, IN ALL HER GATHERED GLORY. 

HONG KONG GARDEN

LIVING IN HONG KONG TWO YEARS NOW, THIS URBAN AND WILD LANDSCAPE STILL FEELS FOREIGN, CONSISTENTLY PRESENTING EXOTIC TREASURES. I OFTEN FEEL AS THOUGH I AM SEEING EVERYTHING FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE HAVE BEEN ON A BIT OF A FLORAL TANGENT LATELY, WHAT WITH PERFECTLY LOVELY TEXTILES AND FLOWER CHILDREN AND SUCH, BUT AFTER TAKING THIS WEEKEND ON THE PEAK, ITS TIME TO SHARE THE INSPIRATION IN ITS ORIGINAL CONTEXT:

THE AFOREMENTIONED CONTRAST, ONE WHICH SEEMS SO STRANGE, THE URBAN AND WILD LANDSCAPES COLLIDING. 

I FOUND THIS TREE SO FABULOUS WITH ITS BUNCHES OF BRIGHT GREEN CLUSTERS. I WAS TEMPTED TO RUN HOME AND EXPERIMENT WITH DANGLING POM POMS. LUCKILY I RESTRAINED MESELF; THERE IS NO WAY I COULD EVEN BEGIN TO DUPLICATE THE SUBTLETY AND SIMPLE PERFECTION SEEN HERE.  

RUNNING WITH THE THEME, NEW LATTICE COTTON CANVAS IN KEEPING WITH THE FLORA-FAUNA MOTIF.
