Eat Drink Chic

So, I basically dropped my iPhone yesterday and put a few chips into my polka dot Kate Spade case! First world problems, I know, but I must admit, I did allow myself a moment to grieve :(

Don't you just love these phone cases from Rifle?! Would it be okay if I just got them all? Who would like to buy them for me? ;-)

Check out the full collection here.

I'm also loving these cases from Julia Kostreva. So pretty...

I had the strange urge to create a heart out of multi-coloured sequins and glitter. So I did. And I turned it into some free desktop wallpaper for you!

Lately I've been using vibrant floral wallpaper across all my devices (Macbook Air, iPhone and iPad). These are my current faves!

Top: Beautiful floral print by Lilly Pulitzer found here. (Lots to choose from!)

Bottom: Hello Blossom by Kate Spade.

Sometimes simply taking a moment to tend to the little details in life- like brightening up an empty wall with a colourful tote, a string of twinkly lights and a decorative wooden star- can really lift your mood and make you smile...

Happy Friday everybody! :)

It appears I have inundated my workspace with sheer girliness...

Things are finally starting to come together in our home, which I've been slowly and (sometimes) painfully working on for almost 2 years now. I love surrounding myself with lots of colour, texture, graphic and typographical items and my various collections of treasured objects- things that will constantly stimulate and inspire me.

The above photo is of my current workspace which is actually our dining room! It has become a weird hybrid of both work clutter and entertaining bits n' pieces. However, I have tidied the table specifically for these photos! Usually it is covered in a mass of paper bits, craft tools, props, breakfast leftovers and other random remnants of my project work. I'm currently hunting for some yellow industrial pendant lights to hang above the table. 

The 'Sugar' artwork is something I created in an effort to emulate this gorgeous piece from Dough Pizza in Perth. I ended up using coffee staining to create the textured background. I've used Gelato Script font for the lettering. Because the word was so big I had to print out the lettering over multiple A4 sheets, cut them out and stick them together in order to create a template. I then traced around the template onto the canvas and used hot pink acrylic paint to colour it in. It took some time but was a fun project to do.

We are currently preparing for our annual Australia Day BBQ and, in typical Amy fashion, I am going all out with the details. I'm thrilled to finally get to use my drink dispenser for my homemade lemonade with orange blossom water.

We bought this beautiful outdoor table almost a year ago and have never used it! I'm also looking forward to finally breaking it in this Saturday. Should be a lot of fun dressing it up!

Happy New Year everybody! Did you all survive the holidays intact? I hope you all made time for some serious rest and relaxation after the holiday rush.

I'm really excited to be back for another year. I thoroughly enjoyed my break (despite getting a nasty flu and spending my last week glued to the couch). It was a wonderful opportunity to get refreshed and re-energised! 

I am happy to announce that I have LOTS of ideas brewing for new creative projects, (so many that I fear my head may explode) and I'm just itching to get back into it again! :)

I hope you enjoy what's in store for you on Eat Drink Chic for 2013!
