8 new magazines I'm drooling over right now!

Belle Editor, Neale Whitaker recently confessed to having a "senior moment" after wrongly telling his Twitter followers that the December/January issue went on sale last Monday! But it's officially on sale today, and happened to be in my (I almost just wrote inbox!) mailbox today, along with Lucky's October issue and Inside Out's Christmas issue. Recognize the home on the cover? I did! I did!

Here's a clue:

Yes! It's Mark Tuckey and Luella Potter's (the accompanying editorial - styled by Louella herself - is di-viiine)! You may remember I blogged about the house back here and you can see what it looked like when they bought it here. I also blogged about their beautiful Melbourne terrace here.

Also doing the rounds are: Lucky (I only just read September!), House Beautiful, Madison, Architectural Digest (peek inside Ellen and Portia's Beverly Hills mansion here!) and Elle Decor! Phew!



Can we have 8 days in the week already?!

Table talk with Louise Bell: "Inside my colourful world"

As you know by now (because I posted about it here), the birthday issue of Ivy and Piper went live a few days back. The I & P girls, Melanie and Elizabeth were kind enough to have me as a contributor this past year, and it's been a mega-blast. So here's this issue's thang: "Inside my Colourful World" (click to read Ivy and Piper, and find me on pages 102-107). That reminds me - There is a lovely quote in the current issue of House Beautiful, along the lines of: "Don't be afraid of colour - You'll be surprised how good it makes you feel". Amen to that!

So what's new? Magazines! Magazines! Magazines!

Holy high ceilings Batman it's raining magazines! When the mail man rode up the driveway yesterday and handed me no less than 3 magazines, I instantly felt my blogging muscle twitch. So lets do this:

(below) House Beautiful October 2011. Heaven. Loving HB right now!

(below) Just look at the gorgeous contents page... positively ooooooozing with eyecandy...

(below) Delicious October 2011 - borrowed from Ma & Pa Tonic. I had lunch at my parent's house last week, and they had made the entire meal from this issue, including the "Sake & Ginger Roasted Salmon" on page 90 and an egg noodle salad with peanut dressing (p78) from Bill Granger's new book, Bills Everyday Asian - which looks diviiine. And which I now need.

(below) House & Garden November 2011 - A fantastic issue. Super thick, super good.

(below) And look! A Table Tonic Grey and White Ikat cushion (p156) in a gorgeous old Queenslander on the Sunshine Coast:

(below) US Vogue's infamous September issue is a whopper - 758 pages! I'm going to need a week in Hawaii to get through this one...

(below) Inside Out magazine's November/December issue is also superb (everything is really great this month!!). So many colourful and eclectic homes... And PS To join the conversation and have any design questions answered, visit their Facebook page.

(below) The Table Tonic Neon Lime Spot Ikat cushion makes an appearance on page 70 (squeal!!). And how fab is that little sofa ($4800 from Edit)?!

(below) This time, I'm pilfering from Mr Tonic - his HOUSES subscription is getting a run for it's money! Issue 82 is out now.

(below) If you like your decor magazines with a side cover of horse, then the October 2011 issue of Verandah is for you!

 

BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE! (below) American online decor magazine Rue's anniversary issue is live. Happy Anniversary Rue-sters!

(below) And Aussie online decor magazine Ivy & Piper's 1st Birthday Issue is live. Happy birthday Ivy & Piper!

So. What are YOU reading/loving/drooling over right now? Spill!

A day in the life: 18.04.11

The threads:

mr tonic's line t-shirt / levis "510" jeans (ebay) / alibi belt (old) / hermes cuff / 

marc jacobs bag / deadly ponies sheepskin "lure" / havaianas thongs

The other threads:

Can't wait to give my other pair a whirl! Coloured Levis retail for around $39.99 on eBay. Gotta love that. You do take a punt with the size though. The 510 is actually men's (skinny) style. But then half my wardrobe is from the men's department...

The press:

Aussie InStyle's May 2011 issue features a Table Tonic Moroccan Wedding Blanket! I love how at home it looks in this room...
 

The new favourite:

House Beautiful May 2011. On. Fire.

The penthouse:

The "on sale now":
Madison May 2011

The end!
