Shopping: Alexandra Llewellyn’s Backgammon Tables

I have always been a fan of backgammon.  I am not a great player but I do enjoy playing from time to time.  I am certain I would enjoy it even more if I were playing on the beautifully hand made boards of Alexandra Llewellyn.  Have you ever seen boards this cool? For those of you who are looking for a gift for man, look no further.  You can commission your own board as well as personalise existing ones.

Callixto Inspiration: Beautiful Doors

I am obsessed with Pinterest.  Who isn’t?   I started off looking  at pictures of the usual suspects; jewellery, clothes, fashion and decor.  I have recently been drawn to a new subject matter though.  Doors.  It started off with one or two pictures but it has now spiralled into an obsession with Doors getting its own Board.  There are some seriously beautiful doors out there in the world.  The colour combos are amazing!  Follow our Doors  Pinterest Board if you are as obsessed as I am!

Travel: La Banane in St Barts

I am not normally prone to taking relaxing holidays.  I am more an adventure, shopping, sourcing kind of gal.  I have been in Hong Kong for 3 months non stop though, and this city has a way of grinding you down.  I can think of nothing better to do right now than be in a pretty place, drinking a mojito from a pretty glass, looking at a pretty view.  Have been trawling the net to find my next holiday destination and I am thinking St Barts.  I know, its never going to happen but a girl can dream right?  How amazing does the hotel La Banane look?  This is my kind of place..
