{John Lewis Bedding}

John Lewis have really gone places with their latest bedding collection - fresh, summery and laid back, all with a hint of fabulousness. There are patterns like the PiP Studio collection (1) that pack a punch of bold flavour or you catch forty winks in serious style under patterns from Designer's Guild (2, 6, 7, 8). I'm a bit of a stripe addict, so my faves have to be 3 (Sherbet Stripe - love this product name) and 9 for it's interesting colourways. Which covers do you like?

{Toast: Blue and White}

Toast always get it so right, don't they? If you remember how much I love azure blue, then you'll understand why I'm all excited looking at their scrumptious blue and white offerings this morning. These pieces would be perfect for a relaxing bedroom scheme - I'm thinking pastel shades for the walls, plently of exposed wooden surfaces for warmth and texture, teamed with these calming blue and white accessories from Toast. Yummy.

Ok, so there's some yellow in here, but still the Eve Pottery is divine.

Sigh. This image warms my heart. I'm sure the cotton jacquard throw would be lovely and warming, too!

Checks arn't quite as cool as chevron patterns, but the lovely blue and white hues still make this a winner.

{The Edited Collection: Cushions and Pillows}

Being one of the quickest and easiest ways to update any room, cushions and pillows have long one of my favourite home accessories. I've picked out some of the many stylish offerings currently in the stores...

Pops of colour bring this birdcage cushion from Heals to life.

This graphic statement from Dwell would be the perfect addition for a masculine home office.

The unusual nature of this digital bloom cushion from CB2 caught my eye. I think it would look fab on an Eames rocker.

Jonathan Adler always knows how to raise a smile. Next time I'm in the States, I'm treating myself to one of these.

I'm not a great fan of words being spelled out on walls, but for some reason I don't mind it on cushions, especially lovely ones like this.

This reminds me of a colourful beach umbrella. I'd group a whole load of these together, chuck them down and have an impromtu picnic!

Plane graphics and yellow fabric. Yes please, Mini Moderns.

{Blodwen General Store}

After a weekend full of sunshine and glorious blue skies I'm entering the week full of lust for bright, airy spaces, along with mix and match picnic-style textiles. If I was in Brooklyn I would go to the Brook Farm General Store, but seeing as I'm based in the UK, I'd happily settle for Blodwen - a super stylish General Store in Wales. It's an online emporium in honour of the traditional local craftsmanship, which has been given a modern edge with a spoonful of contemporary design and style. Their rugs and throws (2, 5 + 6) would make ideal picnic blankets, and just imagine being able to wake up and have coffee in that dining room (9) everyday...

{Brook Farm General Store}

This place is so lovely that I would like to move in. I don't care if it's a store and not a home, look how cosy it is! Plus, with stock that lovely why would I want to leave? The lovely guys from the Brook Farm General Store sum up their place brilliantly. So, in their own words, here's what they are all about:

Located just under the Williamsburg Bridge, in Brooklyn, NY, Brook Farm General Store is a modern general store offering a wide range of old and new items. From the most humble scrub brush to the most luxurious linen sheets, all of our products are useful, simple and timeless.

Useful, simple and timeless...I'm.In.Love. Happy Friday, everyone!
