Weekend....

What a lovely weekend! Heels and tulle Saturday night, darling designs off to lovely customers, chunky gold jewellery, my pantone chart (daily partner in crime), more popular cushions sold over the last week and colourful pens (whoever thought selecting colourful pens could be so hard in officeworks!?).

Gorgeous colour...

Such a beautiful combination - lime and pink. Such a favourite.

Interestingly I ordered some ballet shoes in lime, pink and two other colours as they were super duper cheap and thought, i ruin shoes so fast this way it wont bother me and i'll have a nice variety...

I thought the package was sadly lost so Saturday I gave up on the hope they would arrive and I ordered some more. And guess what turned up today... The original order that went missing and now i have another 5 pairs on the way!

Who needs 9 pairs of ballet shoes!? Whooley dooley!

Hello 2012

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

After a much needed break, I'm back and very excited about 2012. Our holiday was lovely, spent time with family, pottered around and worked on wonderful things for the coming months. I have taken a few snaps of some things around my home that have been in play these last few weeks....

Have loved to relax in beautiful bright Camillas, shoulder strapped bags that have changed my life (no more headaches from carrying heavy bags), playing with gorgeous glass and lovely fragrances in my home, a favourite summer fragrance, fabulous new (and very tall) shoes and divine prints for customers.....

Busy, busy but wonderful.

Ps. Ive had lots of interest in the shoes, here is the link, they are Guiseppe Zanotti's from Netaporter but i have seen them at Saks and Shopbop too! These were a lovely friend from my darling friend Kate! xx

Merry Christmas....

Thank you so much for your all your wonderful support throughout 2011! What an amazing year it has been. Thank you so much for stopping by to read this blog, thank you for all your lovely emails that you take the time to send me and thank you so much for your support of the shop.

I get so much pleasure out of writing Ada & Darcy and living and breathing lovely colour and design. It always amazes me that you stop by to see what is happening.

2011 has been filled with so many opportunities that I never could have dreamed possible and whilst i will be away from the blog until early January, I will be working behind the scenes getting ready for some exciting news and changes in 2012. And for the in between times, i'll be spending some time at the beach with Luke, Lily and Molly; my idea of perfection.

Thank you again. Kellie xx

Simple things...

Such a simple thing, chocolate and strawberries but absolutely delicious nonetheless. I made quite a few for Luke and I to enjoy yesterday and they were just what we needed after a busy day of shopping and doing quite mundane "stuff". Kellie xx

Favourites

I just love these types of colours, no matter what i do, i always come back to them. Doesn't really matter whether it's interiors or fashion, its just always such a personal favourite that I cannot fight off! Kellie xx

My world...

Here's a few snippets into my world this past week.

Our room was such a mess. It was at the point where I couldn't find shoes, clothes, face products etc... I'd been meaning to do it for a while but it was so out of control i was putting it off. Bags and bags of clothes for vinnies later, I had have lots of organisation and space and my shoes were back in order. Amazing how such a horrid task can make you feel so good! Now I can wear two shoes that match!!

Yes, our room, much represented this kind of disorganisation!!



I'm getting a bit sick and tired of our white door. Pondering other options...



Gorgeous blue cushions just in! Also in are some sample stools at reduced prices!

Darling Orchids ...

My fabulous Pop grew these darling orchids and sent this beautiful bunch home from me. Love them in my favourite Samantha Robinson vase. Always extra special when they come from someone so amazing in your life isn't it. I have so much to thank my grandfather for who has been a wonderful inspiration and support for all my dreams. Kellie xx

Don't forget the SALE here!

Playing with things on Monday...

Playing today with lots of lovely colour! Gorgeous ribbons, fabulous new fabrics for cushions, working in my pretty pink shoes and still carrying around my sparkly Anya Hindmarsh clutch.... Probably more appropriate for night but it has soooo much glitter i cant help but carry it around in my bag just because! Have a wonderful week! Kellie

Weekend and new things!

I had a lovely Sunday, it was my birthday and I spent a lovely day with my family. Wonderful food, delicious cake and I was given some lovely and unexpected surprises!



In other lovely news... New little pretties just in... 1. Spot Cushion 2. Stripe Cushion 3. Storage Jar 4. Pink Teapot 5. Blue Teapot 6. Blue Bowl 7. Floral Cushion xx

Friday, updates and purchases

What a week! I'm extra relieved it's Friday. Tonight im off for a lovely dinner with Kate, Saturday lots of Ada & Darcy work putting some design concepts together for lovely clients - seems i've run out of hours this week! Definitely will be popping into the flower markets Saturday morning too, its been weeks since i've been and i'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms. Sunday though will be spent relaxing. Cant wait.

Thank you to Nicole for this fabulous post about her Moroccan Pouffe purchase here... Don't forget the 25% off two or more lovely pouffes ends Sunday and that also includes free shipping within Australia...

And in fashion news... Here's a couple of purchases that were made during the week.

1. A completely impractical but fabulous nonetheless feather jacket. LOVE. Such a fun accessory with jeans, dresses or skirts. Let's hope i dont wear it on a day where its raining.

2. A Whistles Carrie pleated skirt. The colour is outrageously beautiful, I saw it a while back and couldnt stop thinking about it so took the plunge.

I really wish I was brave enough to show these purchases on myself... Im just very chicken!! Kellie xxx

In a few words...

Here is a little thing on me ... Just a few words. What about you? xx

Summer Weather...

Geez, its still hot in Sydney! My lovely pink Prada sunglasses arrived just in time for the weekend. Lily and Molly are off to the doggy spa tomorrow, can you believe this, they have a dog pool there for them to swim in too - supervised of course and there are doggy life jackets!! Clearly they designed their business with crazy dog owners like myself in mind. Sunday is Luke's birthday so will be having a nice lunch with the family, by the water to hopefully enjoy a cool breeze that hasnt been present in sydney for a good while now.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone xx

Two perfect models...

I needed to take a few pictures on the weekend and managed to get this gorgeous shot of Lily and Molly. The perfect models! I think it had something to do with the fact they had a big swim at the beach on the weekend so were a little tired therefore were happy just to sit and have their picture taken.

Saturday morning I found those amazing and huge roses on the weekend, and, the colour of them hasnt been modified at all - they are the most brightest and boldest shade of yellow I have seen! And they were sold in a bunch of 25 - outrageous! Was very happy with my purchase.

Have a beautiful week everyone! Kellie xx

Morning blooms

Look what I picked this morning from my garden, with all this rain we have had in Sydney, the hydrangeas have gone mad!

New things...

How was your weekend? Mine was very productive, lots done on Saturday and Sunday including some gardening, shopping, hair love, worked on some projects and took some lovely pictures of new things that came in!

More pretty cushions added to the store in the 'what's new' section... We also have added 6 little ones at great prices - only 1 of each! Also added is that lovely blue and white lamp - the other style sold out very quickly. Oh and that animal print one - loving that too. Kellie xx. Ps. That's my lovely rosette quilt there... xx

Sleep ins

I had a lovely sleep in this morning. And I turned the alarm clock off a couple of times. Off to the hairdressers now - my hair is in desperate need for some love.

These darling rosette quilts have been so popular in the store! I have one myself and they are so beautiful... Soft, gorgeous to look at and totally practical (and well priced)! I love that you can just throw them on and they look stunning messy or neat (for most days of the week when im running late) and dont seem to have time to spend lots of time making my bed look pretty - it just always does!

Have a beautiful Saturday everyone... This rain is still around in Sydney but my garden flowers are all the more happier for it. Kellie xx

Strange Habits

Luke and my best friend Kate are just perplexed why I love drinking out of glass jars rather than a traditional glass. I always say with the glass jar and the straw make the water taste much better. They both think i'm a bit mad because of it! I spotted this wedding and thought, this event has the same passion of jars as a drinking glass as me, and, the styling is just so mighty pretty!

Surprises at home...

It's been a busy, fun and hectic week with the launch of the online boutique, lots of things to do at home and working on other projects! I was delighted to come home to find sweet peas and hydrangeas all blooming away in our garden ready to be picked. Since I'll be doing lots of resting this weekend, I picked a few bunches and thought they were perfect on my bedside table so I could enjoy them all weekend long.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone! Thanks for stopping by. Kellie. xx

P.S More gorgeous lampshades will be available in the boutique next week.

P.P.S How pretty and such a gorgeous match are the hydrangeas with the darling velvet trim on my shade! Sadly just pot luck and not good management!
