Homes: Emmas DesignBlogg
Scandinavian style is one of the most enduring design movements of the 20th century and it’s easy to see why – the use of natural fabrics, clean lines and the neutral colour palette define a very simple and modern approach to living. A classic example is this heavenly apartment that we found at Emmas Designblogg, Scandinavia’s oldest and most-read interiors blog. The apartment’s for sale and there are even more photos of it here.
Food: Cook Republic
A simple and delicious recipe for Milk Chocolate Brownies from Sydney designer, food photographer and stylist Sneh of Cook Republic, recently voted Best Food Blog in the Australian Writers’ Centre Best Australian Blogs 2013.
Travel: 52 Suburbs
Not your everyday travel blog, 52 Suburbs is the incredible journey of Sydney photographer Louise Hawson who spent 12 months shooting the “unfamous neighbourhoods of some of the world’s most photographed and celebrated cities”. In the past year, Louise and her eight-year-old daughter Coco have travelled to cities including Paris, Rome, Hong Kong, Berlin, New York and London. The result is a visual extravaganza.
Fashion: Garance Dore
It seems every fashionista’s crush of the moment is Garance Doré: illustrator, photographer and writer with a hugely successful fashion blog (and her partner is famed NY blogger Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist). Originally from Corsica, she’s lived and worked in Paris and is now based in New York. If you love fashion, you’ll love this site – the videos, Pardon My French, are a personal favourite.
Inspiration: Love French Bulldogs
Love French Bulldogs is a Tumblr blog dedicated to photography, interiors, decorations, lifestyle and, yes, the occasional French bulldog. Get lost in the prettiness.
