Hello Everyone

Clara House in Buenos Aires, designed by Sarmiento and Tovo. This incredibly simplistic home faces outwards onto two courtyards that do nothing other than provide daylight and an abundance of plants/nature. The usage of wood within the interior truly brings this home alive and give it so much character. The simple shapes and views of nature no matter where you turn help to make this space incredibly relaxing just by looking at it, let alone living there.

My favourite shot from the whole space is definitely the last, as waking up to that botanic view would be nothing short of a dream come true.

Hello Everyone

The best things are made when you're either pushed to your limits, or someone tells you that you cannot do something. This was the case for this home in Mexico. Design for a retired couple, Architects Pérez Palacious had the challenge of working with high restricting walls from the surrounding houses, and a lack of external views. However, they handled it well and created this cream, minimal, relaxing style. 

The house features 3 mini courtyards that all have their own separate functions, but the house harmonises internally with the open floor plan, linking all the family areas together. To say I like it would be an understatement. Even with the lack of natural landscape to look at, this home is such a natural beauty.

Hello Everyone

Once again, it is no secret to those of you who read my blog, that I have a weakness for both interior design and Japanese designed ones too. I recently stumbled across this gorgeous Japanese home, located in the Nagano Prefecture. 

This lakeside home features floors all consisting of different heights, building materials, but all look outward to the amazing surrounding view. Located in the mountains, there is not one window/door in this lakeside home that hasn't captured the beautiful essence of what is Japan and the mountain views that it has to offer.

All I can say is, if I lived here... I'd be smiling as much as the people featured in the images too!

Nanette Workman - If I Cant See you

Hello Everyone

This week I bring to you this beautifully relaxed interior designed by David Chipperfield Architects, and photography taken by Matthew Williams.

The design features my favourite style, which consists of full height windows that let in natural lighting. It works especially in this space as there isn't any piece of furniture or detailing that is too extravagant. Everything is at the correct consistency. Another accent that I find gives this space personality, is the stone terrazzo detailing found between the majority of the full height windows.

Everything from the textiles, to the furniture to the colour palette, bring this site together and it definitely is my favourite find in May alone.

On Boxing Day, I took a trip down to London (check out my vlog here) in order to take my brother back home, and made a little stop off in some shops to see what was what, and I must say, I liked what I saw. I'm also pleased to say that the warm embrace of Boxing Day was clearly present and I was able to get some great bargains!

White Trainers | CLARKS
I believe every person needs a good pair of white trainers, one especially with high quality. One of the main things that I wanted to ensure, was that I had at least one timeless piece in my wardrobe, be it clothing or shoes, as they can be styled either up or down, during the day or the night or just for running errands and thanks to December 26th for existing, I was able to do so.

White Long Sleeve | UNIQLO
As the colder weathers are still underway, the art of layering is still heavily present and necessary. So I once again decided to invest in some investment pieces that I know I will be able to wear for Winters and Autumns to come. With this white long-sleeve, I can definitely see myself pairing it up with either a v-neck jumper and the warmest coat you can imagine.

Camel Flannel Shirt | UNIQLO
This shirt definitely spoke out to me in ways no shirt usually does. The awkward length of the sleeves, and the sudden stop of the buttons... Everything was just so perfectly pieced together, and the main aspect that topped it all off for me, was the unexpected use of flannel, a match made in heaven did you say?!

Black Fleece Turtleneck | UNIQLO
I already had this turtleneck in a lighter cream colour, but I couldn't help myself and decided to go back for some more, but only this time in a larger size and a darker colour. Despite being a turtleneck and providing more warmth than other items of clothing, the added fleece texture definitely makes this turtleneck one to keep around, and actually doesn't require you to play the Winter game of layering.

Coconut Hand Lotion | & OTHER STORIES
This hand lotion took me by surprise as it was purchase that made purely because it was close to the till. But I must say, it was definitely worth the price, and surprise. The smell is just damn right gorgeous, as the scent leaves you feeling refreshed and its super smooth, leaving the hands feeling like they're ready for anything.

question: Did you snag any Boxing Day deals?
