3 Houses in 2 Days

Phew what a week!! Absolutely exhausted. All the hard work myself and my team have been putting in this year is definitely paying off and we had a very busy but fun time photographing 3 houses for upcoming magazines. The ever talented and lovely team of Catherine Shields and Simon Kenny came up from Sydney and we spent 2 days styling and shooting some gorgeous houses. My house was also being shot which was really hard because you're always your own worst critic.
Here are some shots of some rooms in my house that I styled to the eyeballs!! Also loving my new mirror it is divine and my new favourite thing...if you need one in your life just let me know you won't regret it. ps sorry about quality all done on phone. Will let you see other pics once the mags are out....if I can wait that long. Off to Melbourne tomorrow for some sourcing of a new label (very exciting) and visiting another supplier. Have a great weekend xx

Week off!?? What week off

Well we are well and truly back in the swing of things. Byron was of course beautiful and it was a lovely evening at the Byron on Byron/Vogue Living dinner. Food was divine, table settings stunning, the mutual admiration society between V.L and Gerry Harvey well and truly apparent...I wish I had Mr Harvey's advertising dollars and maybe I would get some big fat advertorials in Vogue Living (oops don't be snippity Melinda!!)
Annnnyyywaaaay So all relaxation came to hault  last Sunday when poor Harry fell off trampoline and spent the last day of the hol's horizontal on sofa and up at emergency. Boys will be boys.

 On a bright note his special ed co-ordinator emailed me yesterday to tell me all the girls in his class were helping him carry his books and walk down stairs (flirty boy apparently)



So back to work: had marvelous night on Tuesday when we held a combined cocktail event with Claire Aristides from Claire Aristides Fine Jewels. I will be stocking her absolutely stunning Rings and earrings and can't wait to get my own little order on my finger!!
All the rings are stunning quality and exclusive to Lily-G. Think big Cocktail glamour rings with the most gorgeous earrings to match.
Come in and choose yours and we'll send Santa a little hint ha ha!
