Elle Decoration visits ‘top bloggers’ at home
Check this out! I was really chuffed to be asked to be featured in the March issue of Elle Decoration (along with Shini and Fred) talking about design, blogging and homesy things.

Just when you thought Diane von Furstenberg (so impressed I can spell that without looking it up) couldn’t get any more fabulous, her Manhattan penthouse appears in Architectural Digest.
