Her resume consists of illustrating for brands like Tiffany & Co, Chanel, Dior, Ladurée and of course the Sex and the City books by Candice Bushnell to name a few. Megan is now living and working in a 18th century church with her architect husband and two young children. Living a complete dream full of jet setting, a loving family and illustrating the most exquisite of sketches - This four bedroom house has nothing usual about it which is just the start of it's stunning appeal. 

Some newness to my room!

I have been in desperate and I mean desperate need of something a little new in my room - A few months ago it was the bouquet of flowers that sit pretty on top of my bountiful bookcase. But sadly even though they are gorgeous I needed a bit of an update. So today my Mum and myself were of to Ikea and I knew it was my chance to finally do some redecorating! 

I have been in love with this Sheep skin rug for as long as I could remember but I have never bought it *what were you thinking Codie!?* I am now happy to say that it is now laying on my bedroom floor right in front of my bed exactly where it belongs! In all honesty I could not be more happier with it - It fits perfectly into the decor and is what I was after due to going after texture to add a more depth to my room. 

Of course being in the complete zone of walking around aimlessly dreaming up what my future apartment/house will look like if I could unleash my inner interior decorator; I decided on also getting a throw as winter is coming up and plus the texture will add a little bit of coziness to my room (exactly what I don't need early in the morning with me not wanting to get out of bed) So once I laid eyes on the Ofelia throw I knew it was going to be perfect for my room. 

Decor: Rachel Zoe's Office

One of my biggest guilty pleasures is sitting down to have a marathon of The Rachel Zoe project and we have all seen the endless rows of fabulous footwear and bags that make you want to say BA-NA-NAS - So when I discovered that The Coveteur partnered with Who What Wear to take us inside the Queen of stylings LA loft/ HQ I simply sat there in awe of what I saw while scrolling through the images. From the likes of Zoe's vintage archives to her nail polish collection that mimics a rainbow and of course the accessories that leave you mouthing "I die." We simply can't pass the opportunity to look into the glamourous life of Rachel Zoe - From her branding office to Zoe's personal work space, The Coveteur and Who What Wear dived deep into Zoe's teams wow worthy workshop which I can clearly see where the creative juices flow from. 

I simply look at Rachel Zoe, what she has created business wise, her life in general and I am truly inspired. She is one of many people who I look up to as a role model within the fashion industry. From being a designer, head of a internationally known company, a stylist that has worked with some of the most influential celebrities, photographers, designers and magazines and also releasing her own book "A to Zoe: The art of Fashion, Beauty and everything Glamour" She is a powerful source that you know will be dressed with sky high heels, an oversized bag and just looking utterly flawless. 

For all of the Zoe lovers out there, a new season of The Rachel Zoe project is about to be aired later this month.

It is time - Time for a new bookcase!

I have a confession to make - I am a magazine and book-aholic and it is starting to get to what some people would call crazy. Don't judge but I have needs and well for me knowing that when a new month rolls in and I will soon have the new crisp fresh issue of Vogue Australia, Shop til you drop or Harper's Bazaar in my very eager hands - Well it makes my heart flutter with excitement. This isn't even all of my magazines and books I have had to relocate them to draws, my bed side table or my neat little pile in the corner of my room. For me personally I couldn't throw any of them out because simply they are the source of inspiration for me: I love sitting there getting lost in the pages time after time, reading through articles that sparked my interest and staring in awe of the editorials that ignited my creative juices within. I merely need a new bookcase in order to let my collection grow even more!

My own oasis.

                        

A bedroom is an oasis in many aspects where you spend time with yourself whether that is reading, blogging, drawing, listening to music well in all honesty the list is never ending so in my eyes and for some of my readers as well this room should reflect you as a whole; From your loves, passions, talents and dreams it should be able to speak to your guests for you without you having to utter a single word about who you are deep down. My bedroom has evolved and grown as I have, it has matured, it has changed and taken on a new self which along its journey I have as well. 

So what has inspired me and my room along the never endless journey that they call life? Well when I saw changes within myself, my room then took on this as well. I came to a stage where I wanted elegance and a very chic space to conjure up my thoughts and inspiration whatever that may be about. I started with a basis where in the entire world do I feel content or where would I believe I would feel content... One place came to my mind Paris! Paris for me has been an obsession and dream sense the first episode of Madeline I finished watching in sheer amazement. The allure that Paris presents to me is magical and truly enchanting, not only that but Paris has helped me personally being my "happy" place when I was having a bad day. The Parisian inspired touches within my room are that of a gorgeous ikea print that hangs over my head to in capture my dreams of Paris, across from my bed on my white chest of draws is "Paris" spelt out in white, stark 3D letters and also the stunning mirrored candle holder in the shape of one of my most favourite buildings the Eiffel Tower and a black and white picture of the Eiffel Tower in the 20's sits pretty beside it. 

Who doesn't like to feel calm? Well in my eyes colour = calmness and not only that adds an ambiance to a particular room and that is no doubly why I choose the beige, whites and light gold hues for my bedroom. Not only are all of these colours incredibly chic, elegant and sophisticated but I can say I believe they are me as well. I am a lover and strong believer that finding beauty in the simple things in life is what is special and these colours are that simple and beautiful. Plus I am oh so in love with filigree details and tonnes of gorgeous pillows so when I saw that bedspread I had to have it!

The fact that a bedroom should express who you are as an individual and displays who spends their most prized time within this boudoir always plays on my mind. To me these are the little details within a room such as tiny touches such as a picture, candles, books or simply small decorative items on shelves.   When someone walks into my room who may or may not know me well I would like them to get an automatic sense of who I am and this really should be included in any rooms design aesthetic. So once you walk into my room you get a awareness that I love fashion, travel and interior design and how can one tell this; simply by oberserving my expansive book and magazine collection. One can tell I am head over heels in love with Chanel by the Chanel black box sitting in the corner of my bookcase and the bottle of Chanel N5 bottle on my chest of draws. I recently added an inspiration board that sits daintily on my bookcase, this again displays my loves and passions but also remains true to the name and lets me draw inspiration from it.
