Fab(ulous)

I am still constantly scouring online for the perfect pieces for my home.  I have truly swapped fashion for furniture as I strive to finish off my home, creating a palace fit for me and Mr Read.

One online shop, however, was way off my radar - Fab.com.   It was only brought to my attention this week but so far I am finding a whole host of treats, not only interiors inspired but also gadgets, clothes, jewellery and some fantastic gift ideas!

Fab say they are on a mission to help people better their lives with design by providing great products at reasonable prices and introducing exciting designers to it's clientele.  Products are only available for a limited time so new stock is refreshed regularly which makes this an exciting site to keep coming back to again and again. 

As you can imagine, I already have a lust list the length of my arm and have definitely spotted a few gifts that I won't be sharing on here to save any spoiled surprises!

Fab is one of the very few shopping sites I have signed up to as I know updates will be a treat of potential purchases.  You can sign up to the website here or follow Fab on facebook for updates on what new designers are on offer.

In the meantime, here is the start of my very long list of wants! 


Jambox Hex Speaker £148.  This is a brilliant little gadget, I know this as I already own one but I really love the black and gold colourway.  This speaker hooks up to your iPhone via bluetooth so you can use it to listen to iTunes, digital radio or even use as a loudspeaker when taking calls.  The sound quality is amazing for the size of the speaker, I can vouch for that!  


'Dear' Antlers by Heartelier £60.  I love taxidermy, I love neon, do I need to say anymore?


Devine Cutlery Bronze by Pandora Design £32.  I have a thing for interesting cutlery despite my own cutlery drawer remaining very plain and boring.  These are on my hit list. 


Pearl Bangle by Tiklari £35.  This is so pretty and delicate.

Thomas Cufflinks by Alice Made This £160.  Perhaps a gift for the Mister in your life?  I love the simplistic but stunning design paired with gorgeous 24 carat gold.

SoHo Living

I'm still obsessing over amazing interiors and recently came across my ultimate Manhattan apartment.

Renting for a cool $20,000 a night and up to $100,000 a month, this palatial building was once a 19th Century power station.

Styled to urban perfection by it's film maker owner, it boasts a 39 ft long swimming pool and as much exposed brick as you could wish for.  I love exposed brickwork!

I adore the purple velvet couches in the sitting area and the book case is to die for.  Can you imagine the fantastic parties you could have here?

Beyonce's Halo was filmed in the pool and I most recently seen this apartment on an episode of White Collar.  I just think it's a mind blowing space ... if i win the lottery any time soon, you know where to find me! ;)
