A Fashionable Wednesday - Geraldine Saglio

French stylist and assistant to Vogue's Paris Editor-in-Chief Emmanuelle Alt, 

Geraldine Saglio has style I die for. 

Everything she wears is something that I would very happily and comfortably wear.

Apartment update ...

I'm slowly getting there!

Fortunately my furniture and bits and pieces all fit quite perfectly into my new apartment 

and I'm so happy with how it's feeling so far.

But of course a new place requires new things.
So I'm starting to pull together some ideas of what I want to get.
But I'm on a budget, a tight one at that!

Storsele Armchair - Ikea $129

 I'm looking at getting 2 of these chairs to put on my balcony.

I don't want the balcony to be a "dining" space but more of a 

"living" space with chairs and side table.

I love these Ikea chairs and they are the perfect price.

Ludde Sheepskin - Ikea $69

 I've wanted  2 of these sheepskin rugs for either side of my bed for ages.

It will soften the space a little bit more and give a little luxe to the space.

Missoni Jarris cushion - Spence and Lyda $249

 Ok, these Missoni cushions might not be an immediate purchase (due to their price)

but I would love 2 of these to sit on the above Ikea chairs in the balcony.

Chanel Print

 I want to get this image enlarged and placed in a black frame to place in my bathroom.

Silver LOVE CANDY print - Made By Girl $35

This just might be the other print I put in my bathroom, however I do have many other hooks to

 place this on around the apartment.

Aesop

Aesop have some of my favourite skin care products.

 Founded in Australia in 1987, Aesop creates a range of superlative products for skin, hair and body. 

They use the finest plant based ingredients and non-botanical elements such as anti-oxidants. 

I love their products - the smell, textures and of course the feel.

Not only are their products great, I am also a fan of their brilliant store designs and their minimal yet impactful packaging.

A Measure of Success

Something I talk about on a regular basis in my day job with my staff is "how do you measure success"
 or "what does success look like". 

I love talking about this in both my professional and personal life. 

It's not what someone else expects of you but
how you can put your achievements, developments or growth into reality. 

So naturally I also apply this to me and my blog. 

My blog doesn't supply me an income but I put a lot of energy, thought and effort into my blog. 

So I ask myself the question "how do I measure my success with my blog?". 

There are many ways but just one way is having my blog appear on the blogroll of someone
who I really admire and am inspired by their work and blog.

 It means they read my blog! 

And not only read it, they like it! 

And not only like it, they want to share with others that they like it!

That to me is a measure of success. 

So where is all this leading ...

I appear on this

The lovely Amber Lewis has My First Little Place on her "Love List" which is just the coolest for me!

Amber is an Interior Designer who mixes the vintage glamour of old Hollywood with

the modern attitude of Los Angeles {all things I love}.

She has a great philosophy "chic should be comfortable and functional"

Thank you Amber, I'm humbled xx
