Wedding Style Guide’s Spring 2010 issue goes on sale in Australia next week. Judging the book by its cover, I think I’m going to like it!

It was great fun poking in Terence Conran’s Albion Caff/food store. The entire product line was impeccably displayed + appealing. I wanted one of everything. Next visit, I’d like to spend a night or two at the adjoining Boundary hotel: the rooms are inspired by legends of modern design (how would I choose?) And don’t get me started on how fabulous the Boundary’s dining area is. It would be a treat to snag a table beneath the wall of silver trays for a meal. (This, of course, was noticed upon reviewing the brochure at home. Rats.)

Perfect for the unofficial first day of fall: the saturated + elegant “Alice” fruit-themed collection of letterpress notecards from Hazel & Violet INK. See the full set of six at Etsy, and Happy September!

As anyone who has travelled with me can attest, I am a tenacious researcher. When it comes to meals, I have a list a mile long filled with cafes and lunch spots. When it comes to dinner, I’m a bit of a flake. Thankfully, fate intervened for Friday’s dinner when I realized we were a very short walk away from Tom’s Kitchen and it was on my “list”. A glass of wine and some yummy comfort food. Problem solved. The restaurant is tucked away on a quiet street in Chelsea and it made for a most delightful evening out. (We passed a park with soccer games going on under the lights as we made our way back to the hotel, and my son was most impressed.)

Love this fresh take on alphabet cards, from Black Dog Art + Press: I’m able to imagine them in adult and kids’ settings. (Put me down for a “P”, please.) Available at Etsy; $5 a card.
