Guest Post: Office to Oogle Over

I always imagine my dream home when it comes to design, but when I came across these head offices I started to fantasise about them!

Guest Post: Things I am obsessed with today

1. Limited Edition dom Perignon Bottles.
There is no denying how delicious Champagne is... now as if we need any excuse to buy the bottles and enjoy every sip Dom Perignon has created limited edition bottles for their 2002 vintage, paying tribute to Andy Warhol... afterall, in the days of Studio 54 Dom Perignon was the drink of his choice.

2. Gooey Chocolate Stack

I am having a girls dinner at my place tonight and decided to go all out with dessert. After all what would a girls dinner be without too much chocolate. I am attempting this Nigella Lawson chocolate stack...

3. Multi coloured pencils

... I simply love them!

Babeland

With 5 weeks to go until the babe arrives, I can't seem to get enough of all things baby. Below are some of my latest obsessions which will make for some good aunt-spoiling.

My sister with about 9 weeks to go

Neutrals for a boy or a girl... Beautiful baby clothes from Stella McCartney Kids

 If it's a girl... "Make your own" Parisian rabbit (complete with little Parisian skirt and tote)

If it's a boy... This Saab Roadster is the coolest kids car I've ever seen

Paint the town

The streets of New York are my favourite outdoor art gallery.

Bubbles

It never ceases to amaze me the variety of entertainment one sees when strolling through Central Park. On a chilly Wednesday last month we came across bubble makers sending beautiful shapes of colour dancing around the park.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Here are some posts I like from around the web:

• I need to get hold of some of this Martha Stewart Christmas tape before gift-wrapping season gets under way
• Perfect dish for a summer lunch
• Super cool Stella Artois advert
• A fun lined-paper T
• An adorable stop motion music video
• A giant clothes peg
• Going traveling? Check our Design Sponge's city guides
• The perfect apron
• Gorgeous country kitchens
• A quirky wedding of grins, ties, cardigans and jigsaws

Window shopping

I have finally had a chance to sort out my pics from New York. And once again while looking through them I had a strong desire to live my trip all over. One of the best things about NY is that fact that you can walk everywhere. The streets themselves offer endless inspiration, entertainment and fascination. So first up are some great shop fronts that we passed on our daily adventures around the city.

Guest Blogger: 5 things I am loving today

Here are 5 things which I am loving today:

1. Craft. We are a family of craft (as evident at the baby shower) hence it is no surprise that I am loving these perfectly pretty tapes... and they're a super easy alternative to ribbon.

Fantastic news is that South African company, In Good Company, now stocks a whole variety... just in time for Christmas wrapping.

2. Master Chef. Need I say more. I cannot believe I have not watched the series from the start (I feel seriously hard done by).

3. The blog Downtown from Behind which I first read about on Cup of Jo's blog. This blog features photos of creatives riding their bicycles in downtown New York.

4. Essie Mint Apple Candy nail polish.
