The Beach Chic Master.
If you’ve seen pictures of my home then you know my aesthetic is very influenced by Bahamian/Raj/Surf/Beach design. I love palm trees, elephants, shells, surf prints, anything created by a Hicks…this has made me a very frequent shopper at Mandy Urquhart’s beautiful store My Island Home. Last count I’d bought five elephant things from her. She (and READ MORE…
The Fantastic Mr Cook.
Meet Mr Cook (AKA Sean) one of my favourite florists. There’s nothing this man can’t do with a ball of twine. He loves roses as much as I do – garden ones, full blown in white and pale pink but it’s his knack for simplicity and volume that gets me every time. He’s the man READ MORE…
Love Candles? You’ll Love This.
Hi everyone – this is Chelsea. I’ve been working away behind-the-scenes here at LifeStyled for a couple of months now and I thought it was about time I let you all get to know me a little better by sharing some of the great events I go to, the amazing products I see, and the READ MORE…
How To: Modern Paris Interiors.
In Paris most apartment rentals are completely unfurnished. You get parquet floors, moulded ceilings and, with any luck, a balcony with views. But a kitchen? Forget it. Lights? Not a chance.

School Holiday Craft.
Meet Annabel Lowe Wrigley. Craft legend. I’ve known Annabel since school – we were firm friends – but life, jobs, kids, geography meant that we lost touch. Then a couple of years ago (thanks to the magic of Facebook) we reconnected and I’ve been watching as she’s created a gorgeous craft business in her new READ MORE…
Decorating With Colour.
I love interior designer Shaynna Blaze – she’s warm and real. I first discovered her in Selling Houses Australia, whipping houses into shape on next to no money and was so happy to see her pop up as a judge on this season of The Block. The panel needed a woman and she’s been fab. Shaynna’s interiors style READ MORE…
Decorate Like A Stylist.
I first met Shannon Fricke in 1990 at Dolly magazine where she was Beauty Editor and I was the fashion and beauty intern - even then I remember her loving all things home. Fast forward to 2012 and Shannon is stylist/interior expert/author/decorator/TV presenter/homewares designer … did I mention she’s a Mum too. Now living in READ MORE…
How To: Store Your Jewellery.
This post starts like an episode of Hoarders. I’m ridiculously embarrassed to reveal that up until five days ago THIS is what the jewellery part of my closet looked like. Yes, ouch. Are you still there? Or have you left? Horrified? I know my Mum has. There are no excuses for mess like this. I READ MORE…
