[Light] PARACHILNA ABALLS LAMPS from Haydon Studio, these ceramics and blown glass are simple yet beautiful. It’s available from www.parachilna.eu but it can not be purchased online, in store only. The bad news is I can’t source it anywhere in Australia yet. Similar and much cheaper lights may be found from FREEDOM or IKEA.

[Eye Makeup Set] Bobbi Brown has a new limited-edition eye set called the Mixed Metals Collection. It's currently exclusive to Neiman Marcus, Harrods and Bobbi Brown online in the US. I assume it will be in Australia soon or try a mail forwarding service like Shophopandgo. 

This is a five-piece set which includes:

• Small black cosmetic zip case with rose-gold colored detailing
• Mixed Metals Shimmer Brick Eye Palette, .14 oz/ 14g
• Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink, 0.1 oz/ 3g
• Smokey Eye Mascara, .17 fl oz/ 5 ml
• A Mini Dual Ended Eye Shadow/Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush with cap

[Prints] Blue coral prints from Etsy. There are many prints available from Etsy directly from artists around the world. It's a great way to get art into your rooms, it's cheaper than what you pay in the shops and they are not mass produced.

[Candle] Byredo candle, Cotton Poplin is a light fragrance reminiscent of fresh linen and sweet musk. I love the black smoke glass jar, which can be used for makeup brushes, cotton buds or fresh flowers when the candle in finished. Byredo can be purchased from Mecca Cosmetica.

[Coral Décor] Even if you are far away from the sea coral décor adds a little nautical touch to your home. If you get the right shape they can double as a jewellery tree for hanging earrings and rings. Try www.seasideinspired.com or even fake ones from Pottery Barn.

[Platter] Marble TINTO LARGE SQUARE PLATTER from Country Road. These are great little pieces as placemats for formal dinner, serving platter or even your dressing table under perfume and candles.
