Monochrome furniture and accent lights

As a person, I'm fairly minimalist and I really don't like clutter.  I love smooth clean lines and gorgeous featuring accessories which bring out the character of the room.

I recently stayed in a stunning luxury penthouse which was designed in the most beautiful, modern minimalistic Scandinavian style.

I wanted to share with you some of my favourite pieces, as the look is really easy to recreate if you have a simple white room. 



The accessories were mostly black, for example this stunning geometric black light which let the rays through it's gaps.  The black accessories work well in a white room as they create contrast and add character to the otherwise plain space.

The wool low sofas with a low coffee table was a simple but effective way to create a stylish relaxing sitting area if you don't have a designated living room but are working with an open space.

 This is a lamp I have in real life.  It's called a cosy lamp and is absolutely perfect as a bedside table as you can turn the dimmer from really low to really high.  You can create the perfect ambience in you room with this light.

It also fits any style as it is a simple white design which turns golden with the light.  I think it makes for a great Christmas present, as it is genuinely useful and completely inoffensive..


 As you can see, the results of these simple accessories all together is incredible.  The simple monochrome colour scheme keeps everything clean and modern.  However, you you are someone with lots of bits and pieces that you like on show....this probably isn't the best design to follow as the beauty lies in the simplicity of two colours.

Even the flowers matched the colour scheme with this beautiful orchids simple white petals and clean lines.
This chair is super comfy and I want to try and find one for myself.  If anyone knows what it's called let me know!

Lots of love

LBD little black dress for Aqua Hutong

Morning my lovely ladies!!

Last night I went for a beautiful dinner at Aqua Hutong at the Shard on level 33.  It's a beautiful,  Northern Chinese restaurant that I had been dying to try out and I have to say the food was incredible and the service impeccable! (I would definitely recommend the mixed dim sum and the monkfish!)  I can't reccomend them enough - see their site here http://www.aquahutong.co.uk/

So I thought I'd pull out a LBD for the occasion.  This LBD is last seasons from H&M but they've got similar in this year (here).  It has lace sleeves, back and detailing on the front giving a really elegant feel to the dress.





 Makeup:

  •  I matched it with some cheeky lilac essie nail polish.
  • Face makeup: Benefit POREfessional, YSL teint touche eclat, MAC prep+prime, dark smokie gold/grey eyeshadow from clarins and lashings of benefit BADlash mascara.



So it wasn't too over the top, I matched it with some gold ballerina shoes covered in black lace from Pretty Ballerina.
I hope you guys like my LBD look!
