Chic cat style, Ralph Lauren home and a 1980s throwback

Jessica and Nina loving life 😻

I think we could all learn how to live well from cats, don’t you? They please themselves but never worry that they’re being selfish. They know how to relax. They exude insouciance to rival any Parisian girl. And they rock chic colour combos such as black and white, cream and beige, grey and tan - classic neutrals basically.

Oh yes, if anyone could write the book on living a first-class life, cats could. I would buy it! Luckily most of us have our very own mentors to observe at home.

Are the cats stylish and pampered at your place too? 😻


Our hallway at home

I have always loved wide-striped wallpaper in fancy homes and five-star hotels. It just looks so luxe to me. Plus it goes with our 'Ralph Lauren on a budget' home style.

We took the punt and it worked out perfectly for us.

Would you be brave enough to wallpaper your hall like we have??? What is something you’ve done with home decor that you knew was right for you but others might have wondered about? 🙃


1988!

Throwback to my friend Cheri and I, with Ned the donkey in the background. I’ve always loved stripes and classic clothing! It's late 1988 my mum thinks.

As for us, it's high summer here in New Zealand and we're having a glorious heatwave - mid-thirties C most days (which is mid-nineties in F).  I love all the seasons!
