Champagne

It's officially the start of wedding season and I'm spending the long weekend celebrating with friends. Have settled on the most elegant Champagne-coloured cocktail dress so now I'm just waiting for the Spring rain to stop and the May sunlight to come! Fingers are crossed for a beautiful day, and plenty of Champagne... CXX

Isn't this French-inspired pad just fabulous? Imagine it would be like coming home to Versailles... And is that a duck-egg blue Faberge egg in the fireplace? Sigh. CXX

Lavender Room

Lavender Room

Have just discovered that my favourite little boutique of all things girly and lovely has a blog! Lavender Room in Brighton is every girl's dream - decked out from top to toe in the sweetest lingerie, candles and other boudoir essentials. Including Essie nail polish in Chinchilly, for a sexy mink-inspired manicure. And best of all you can shop online from the comfort of your boudoir! Enjoy. CXX

Vanity Fair

This is Glamorous

Nothing adds a touch of glamour to a room quite like glass and mirror. There's something about the way it catches the light and sparkles in the sun that makes it super luxe. I'm dreaming of a floor to ceiling carved mirror like the one above. The height of vanity. Love CXX

This is glamorous

Mmmmmmmmmm. What a find! Check out this is glamourous for some stunning escapism. I'm going crystal crazy at the moment having just bought two gorgeous crystal lamp bases. There's something about cut glass that works so well with white interiors and the sparkle gives such a glamorous feel. Just need to find the right shades now! CXX

My first post for 2010! I have so many lovely things to blog about so I'm sure this year has lots in store! For me, it's looking like a year with lots of travel, from skiing in the French Alpes to a romantic Scottish wedding, so there's going to be lots of packing and unpacking! I found this great company www.travelwardrobecare.com that makes packing look a breeze. This company has designed the ultimate packing system so that us girls can keep their most glamorous assets looking fabulous no matter how traumatic the travel! And as if that's not enough, the website even gives tips on impeccable packing no matter where you're off to. Happy new year, love from Carrie XX

Tiffany Christmas

All images Country Living

I've left it ages again to blog but, come 2010, it is my new year's resolution to blog at least once a week. And I do have an excuse as have been relaxing in Thailand for the last two weeks without Mac. Bliss.

This blog is about, shock, colour! I'm totally in love with Tiffany blue since seeing the shots above in Country Living a couple of months ago. Ness Lockyer over at Marley and Lockyer reminded me of just how gorgeous it looks for Christmas. Quite unusual but it works so beautifully in Vicki's New York pad.

Although not the first time I've seen a tree decked out in pale blue. Here is London Tiffany and Co has sponsored ice-skating at Somerset House which means the most enormous Christmas tree decorated in Tiffany's signature hue complete with twinkling lights and the cutest ice skate decorations. Heavenly. Better still, there's even a Tiffany tuck shop where you nip in for an apres skate mocha and Tiffany cupcake courtesy of the Hummingbird Bakery. Mmmmmmmm. Love Carrie XX

Success at last! I've found the most beautiful Lumina pumpkin - it's enormous and the most gorgeous creamy peach colour. My lovely boyfriend took me out to Fanny's Farm Shop in Surrey and Fanny herself showed us a great array of pumpkins. Now we just need to work out how to carve it! Can't wait to make lovely velvety pumpkin soup either. I've used Delia's recipe every time I've made it and it's just the best. It will make you long for pumpkins all year round! CXX

Alpine chic

As well as my fascination with gourds, I've also taken a liking towards mounted antlers like these ones from www.englandathome.com. Aren't they lovely, v. log cabin and would be perfect with my reindeer skin rug in wintertime (which I'm not allowed to keep out because it malts so badly!). Antlers also make me think of Moose Bar in London which has some seriously cool antler chandeliers all in-keeping with it's Alpine look. CXX

Where did the summer go? My last post was in August! Sorry it's been a while. Autumn is here in London and is one of my favourite times of the year. It's the chance to start getting cosy at home again...and Halloween, which I love. At the moment I'm trying to source gourds in London...I really want to try carving more than just a face! Wondering if I may have to grow my own white pumpkins next year CXX

Canadian Country Living

I have a new favourite...I've discovered a Canadian interior designer called Cheryl Krecsy. Canadian Country Living featured her all-white Christmas scheme recently...it's making me feel festive in the middle of summertime!! XX

Mmmmmmmm

How amazing is this place. Mmmmmmmmmm cupcakes! Cx

White coast

Coastal Living

I can't believe it's July... I've been so bad at keeping my blog! Mainly because I've been outside enjoying the summertime, although July's had strange weather so I'm staying indoors out of the showers which makes it a perfect time to catch up with the blogging! Talking of summer, Ness Lockyer drew my attention to these lovely shots of homes in Coastal Living - they make me want to move to the seaside. They're so light and airy, perfect for enjoying the sunshine! C XX

Isn't this place amazing? I love the combination of the pure white with the sun-bleached wood - no wonder it's called the Boat House. Check out Atlanta Bartlett's fabulous website Beach Studios If you're a fan of the interiors I feature on Love from Carrie you'll be in heaven. And...the best news is that you can hire them as locations. CXX
