All I Want For Christmas…

Top of my Christmas wishlist (fingers crossed I’ll find some of these in my stocking tomorrow morning!)

– Delfina Delettrez skeleton hand bracelet, $30,420 from Luisa Via Roma
If this isn’t a statment piece I don’t know what is.

– Diana F+ Mr. Pink camera, £136 from Lomography
I love these retro Diana camera’s and this shocking pink version is AMAZING!

– Henery Reeve ‘Lady’ & ‘Gentleman’ prints, £140 each from Little Art Book
These hand pulled screen prints combine classic with modern style – they make a great feature paired together.

 

– Marty Thornton ‘Colonel Sanders’ Tax Disc Holder from CultureLabel.com
I can’t deny I have a shameless love for KFC and this brand new limited edition tax disc holder is the perfect plaque in hommage of my main man, the Colonel.

Turn your home into a 19th Century Manor

Ok so may so maybe easier said than done but this gorgeous collection of homewares will get you off to a good start. These pieces are part of a range developed between Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire and students at the Royal College of Art. Waddesdon, best known as the home of Rothschilds, first commissioned students with the project last year and following on fromthe initial, recently launched their second collaborative range. All the pieces are inspired by the Manor’s impressive 19th century decor and juding by the results, students were certainly not stuck for ideas. Below hightlights a selection from the collection, all of which is available to purchase online at Waddesdon Online Shop.

Clockwise starting from top left… Hitomi Hisono: Spoon on Spoon (£15), Rachel Colley: Letter Rack (£25), Owen Wall: Spun Glass Bowl (£120), Nathalie Perneel: Architectural Brooches (£45)
