Anzu exhibition in Mitsukoshi, 3rd -9th September

Bunk beds, treehouses, and maps

Don't you just love how when kids like something, they REALLY like it. There is no half-heartedness there, and I love how this comes across in their rooms. If they have a map, it will be a VERY big map,

Every possession is treasured and if they love books, it won't just be any bookshelf it'll be one with little tree animals on it (below Anzu fairytales card).

Their hobbies are immediately obvious the minute you enter the room.

And there is always a sense of adventure about them.

I think Wes Anderson perfectly captures this in his films particularly the Royal Tenenbaums. And in his films, it's not just the kid's rooms that go overboard on the hobbies!

Peckish

Every day around 4 o'clock we get very peckish in the Anzu studio and have to have a tea break.

Sometimes we even have visitors.

It even crops up on our cards.

Would love to have this Regency caddy for such occasions.

Or these Louis Vuitton trunks, especially created for afternoon tea.

 And this fun teacup by Esther Horchner.

House of Hackney, Shoreditch

The new House of Hackney shop that has opened on Shoreditch High street is truly sumptuous. This wallpaper looks beautiful in the bathroom with the gold fittings. I'm also all for bringing back gold fittings in bathrooms.

 Their Palmeral print is one of my favourites and it is also available as a bikini!
