Spotlight: A Day with Kate

ADaywithKate

Spend A Day with Kate and I am sure you will find some perfect things that you have been craving for quite some time … me personally I have been eyeing one of the lomography cameras for a long time. 

Beatrix NYPop Cutie and Fjällräven were recently added to their collection and the good news is A Day with Kate is able to ship worldwide … so what are you waiting for!

 

I think it was in Spain that I first saw people wearing a bag from the Cambridge Satchel company. I like these very affordable but stylish bags. Which color would you prefer a bright and eyecatching color or one of the new softer tones?

Insekt_adult_groen

I am a huge fan of my Kellie Smits, founder and owner of funky online shop Buisjes En Beugels +++.

She is not only a webshop owner, she is also super talented and a very creative person, a lady with style!

First she started her own fashion line for kids and about a year ago she launched her first furniture piece. The insekt desk in green is simply beautiful. I am proud she is a sponsor of Bloesem.

Below a glimpse of The Growing Table and pillow by Ana Ventura and 'I feel green'.

Louise Roe from Denmark

Copenhagen_louiseroe

Today's post shows again the importance of styling and photography for a brand … Louise Roe, a qualified clothes designer knows this all to well after having worked for many years in the home furnishing and interior design business. She sees fashion and interiors as one and they have become a lifestyle for her. 

When the sisters from Basis Home send me an email about the Lousie Roe brand I was very much inspired by all the images. Perhaps the first thing you notice is the toal ambiance but when looking closer you see the beautiful fabrics and patterns Louise designed and uses for her collections. 

Basis Home is welcoming this Danish brand to the Netherlands and I am sure you Bloesem readers from all over the world would like to know where and when Louise Roe is available in your country too… 

Beautiful images below the break too … enjoy!

You might have seen these images over at Decor8 last week … Holly was so super kind to introduce Nala design and my first official styling job to her readers.

Just before Christmas a photo shoot took place in my home here in Kuala Lumpur for  Nala Design, a stationery and home decor line from Malaysia founded by my friend Lisette Scheers.

It was a fun day and I have to give a special thanks to Tian Xing and Sammie from Show Up Pictures, they are fantastic to work with and I would definetly hire them for any photography job. 

Hope you don't mind me letting you be with just the images today ….and I do hope you visit Nala's webshop.

Imogen Heath’s beautiful bedding

ImogenHeath-bedding

I can't take my eyes of these bedsheets ever since I copied this image to my desktop … I LOve everything about it!
Imogen Heath has been a textile designer since 2004 and started up her own design studio in June 2011. In her own words : ‘My design process is all about retaining the same feeling of excitement and Joy that comes to me when I have an idea for a pattern, or when I draw something for the first time. I hope that by successfully taking these feelings through to the finished piece I can somehow bring that same delight into people’s surroundings’.

Hope you are enjoying and liking her work as much as I do.
