Fashion House - Jenni Kayne


This week over at Our Little Place we are celebrating American Fashion Designers At Home as our Book of the Week. One of the designers included in the book is Jenni Kayne and her Los Angeles home. I loved what I saw, I wanted to share more on her home as it is simply gorgeous.

The five bedroom home in Beverly Hills has crisp white walls with generous amounts of wood and stone. It is modern but still has a warmth and cosiness that makes it a family home.

A little blog neglect ...


Not so much on My First Little Place but reading and exploring other blogs. I have really missed having that time to just catch up and connect. Between my day job, running my own business, moving and adjusting to life back here again and maintaining this blog ... I really haven't much spare time ... but things must change!!

So I wanted to share a few bits and bobs around the blog world that have caught my eye ...

♥ Lovely Vic and Cush and Nooks captured my attention with this blog post - Surfers Paradise
♥ Joanne introduced Toby to new baby Anton over at Cup of Jo, this is way too precious
♥ Anna added another great installment of her series Make Your Mark
♥ Refinery29 did some exploring with Lou Doillon
♥ Nicole of Gary Pepper is still prancing around Paris and looking fabulous whilst doing it!

Illustration


I love illustration, unfortunately I am not gifted in that area!

I've featured illustration on the blog before but today I wanted to show you some of the beautiful 
works of Little Miso - Janice Law.

I met Janice whilst living in Perth as a friend recommended her to help with my logo for Our Little Place.
Janice created my logo - which I love.

 

And my business cards ...


And now this weekend she completed another project for me, icons for the book shop ...


I am thrilled with the result and exactly what I was looking for ♥ happy dance ♥ , 
you're such a talented lady!

Thanks Janice xx

A Fashionable Wednesday - Rosie Huntington Whitely


ROSIE + JASON

So envious of this lady! Not only because of her stunning looks and a body we'd all kill for but for her handsome man in her life, Mr Jason Statham. Yes, I am a fan of this ruggedly handsome Brit and it's usually the only time I'll watch an action/violent...ish film is when he is starring in it! 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure about his trainers here and below ... but I'm not going to be picky

 

Hermes and bare feet!
 
Super stylish travelling couple

Patterned Rugs - West Elm


I'm on the search for a new rug for my bedroom. 

A few elements this rug must have is :

    • Colour - my room has a lot of white and I want to inject some colour
    • Pattern - not too busy but with a clear pattern
    • Light - not a heavy rug, something quite light
    • Price - it can't be too expensive

So I've been scouring the net and I have to say so far (and I'm not close to finishing my search yet) are the ones at West Elm. The ones below are meeting the checklist of must haves ....

 

 

 

 

I love this one, I think this is going to be it!



What do you think, do you like any of these?
Which is your favourite?

Beautiful Home - Kelly Klein


Taking a visit to the beautiful home of author and photographer, Kelly Klein. 

Located in Palm Beach, Florida the home which she told her architect she wanted to be an indoor-outdoor house to enjoy the breeze off the 130 feet frontage on the Intracoastal Waterway.

It is a minimalist style which she learned from her ex-husband Calvin Klein as well as her years working in his design studio.
