Why can't I look as fabulous as SJP when surrounded by a mess of a room? Instead, I'm sitting here sans makeup, in some sweats and a Tee, hair astray, ready to tackle my mess of a bedroom.

Sometimes, when I get really busy, my tidiness slips up a bit.

How are you guys spending your weekend? xo

Los Angeles Home of Amanda Peet from Vogue.

My, it's bone cold here in Wellington this afternoon. What is hard about this cold season is that all the northern hemisphere's publications come out with light and bright summery images - do they really need to do that?

Garden Romance from Vogue

While I enjoy seeing great buildings and interiors, I do especially like a great garden. I have been spending many walks this summer in Wellington's Botanic Gardens - I believe it is good for the soul to walk in such lush surroundings.

Here is an exquisite and romantic English garden that I couldn't help but stop and admire. Read the interesting article by Bella Pollen to how this garden came about here.

Tom Ford's Santa Fe Ranch by Tadao Ando.

There's been some talk about the December/January issue of Paris Vogue because Tom Ford was the guest Editor. However, what I am most interested in is the stunning ranch in Santa Fe designed by Tadao Ando for Tom Ford - it makes a showing in this issue. It looks stunning. Hmm, may have to go and buy the magazine now...
You can see some scanned images of the magazine via Design Folio.

Working Girl from Vogue

Is this what I'm supposed to look like when I'm working?
I had a chuckle when I saw this Patrick Demarchelier photo from the Habitually Chic blog. It is from a Vogue editorial of a 'Working Girl'. It's clear that this lady with all her plans and building models is suppose to be an Architect. I know a lot of architects and designers and (although some very stylish) we certainly don't look as relaxed as this...
