This is one sexy office! It's the home of communication agency Ubiquitous, based in Manchester. I think the interior looks like a mixture of a gentleman's club / posh hotel / European architecture studio. I'd be more than happy to work in a place like that.

I love these beautiful trend boards from the Ellinee blog. I like the different composition which show off the different looks, they look really clear & crisp. The metallics is my favourite.

I stumbled across a beautiful food photography set up called Food and Cook, by Spanish blogger Totramundo. I think the shots look amazing and they really capture the freshness of the dishes. I'd love to learn how to make some of these recipe but I can't read Spanish.

To Many Cooks

I do like a good cookery show & my lovely family have showered me with cook books over Christmas. I've made sure I'll put them to good use and have cooked at least 6 recipes over the last 3 weeks, I don't think these will be gathering dust. 

Both images are from Jamie Oliver 15 minute meal. The middle image is a Laksa Curry & the bottom is a Kofta Curry. Both recipes are delicious, not quite mastered the 15 minutes yet, but practise makes perfect

John Lewis Christmas Ad

I love the John Lewis advert this Christmas, it makes me smile everytime I watch it. Especially like the bit when he's hidding from the snowball fight. Worth a watch.

Breakfast at Bills

 

I visited Cambridge at the weekend and discovered a great cafe/restaurant/shop called Bills. As we wondered the streets we were keeping our eyes peeled for something tasty. We spotted a sign then followed the trail and ended up at Bills. We new it was a good sign when we saw the queue. Once seated we enjoyed some yummy food and a river of tea. The atmosphere, styling & service was brilliant. Worth a visit if you are in the area, click here for more info.

Line Klein is an editorial photographer from Copenhagen. I love the styling of the shots - simple, clean and fresh. I like the compositions of the collections, they make all of the products desirable in their own way.

I've always wondered who was responsible for the lovely Topshop make-up packaging and I've recently discovered that its Graphic Designer Sarah Thorne. Sarah specialises in print & packaging for the fashion & beauty industry which is clear to see from her website. Her work ranges from glamorous invites for Mulberry to backstage invites for Elle and installations for London Fashion Week.

I don't know about you but I'm a little fan of Gossip Girl and I've always liked the Butterflies in Serena's bedroom, so I thought I'd find out who made this beautiful creation. The Design Paul Villinski is responsible and he's got a whole host of creations on his website, including some of my favourites above. He discarded materials such as old beer cans and vinyl records then recycles them into tranquil pieces of installation. Looks pretty impressive to me.

I was a bit of a couch potatoe over the weekend and watched the entire first series of Game of Thrones. I loved it and have become addicted to the second series. I thought I'd share with you the amazing title sequence, its a magical animation/render that tells the story of the different lands within the programme, with each new episode the map expands. If you like the sound of it why not watch it here, enjoy.

2012 Calendar by Alex Westgate

I really like the graphic stlye of Designer & Illustrator Alex Westgate. His choice of colours are a simple mix that compliment one another and each other project throughout his portfolio. He is really playful and very commercial, I'd love to buy some of his prints or his lovely calendar above. Check his website out for more info & have a read of his blog too.
