Hot Scarves, Hot CEO

It's rare that beautiful things are created by beautiful people.  And then there's Bay & Fyfe. 

The first limited edition collection from this Sydney, Australia based design label knocks it out of the park.  There are lots of luxury silk scarves out there, but none of them get as modern or desirable as these, with  fierce prints of animals set against cheeky pops of color from the art of Damion Downey.  Fresh, fabulous, and I need all four.

 

Pastel Zoo 

Fresh and fabulous also describes CEO and Founder, Frith Hucks.  Master traveler and global phenomenon, Frith has been taking the world by storm since leaving her native New Zealand 12 years ago building a stellar track record working around the globe for brands who do it best.  Now based in Sydney, a chance encounter combined with her innate moxie lead to the launch of her own enterprise.  Charming, hilarious, and with a twinkle in her eye, you instantly love Frith as much as Bay & Fyfe. 

To ensure the love fest continues, Bay & Fyfe will be launching a new collection every 3-4 months and always offer free shipping anywhere in the world.  They also offer free returns, but once you get your hands of one of these - you're keeping it forever.   

Les Triplettes

Les Triplettes are handmade pillows, quilts, and garlands crafted in Quebec, Canada using always fabulous Liberty of London prints.

At Mini Bulles they're being sold as accessories for children, but grown ups deserve fabulousness too!
This is the one on it's way to my house now:

INALUXE - more amazing australian art

Australia continues to foster fabulously modern and completely addictive art & design.  The latest that I've come across is the lovely shop INALUXE.  Having recently moved into a new home, I'm completely aware that I certainly don't need any more art - but when it's as fabulous as this, I'm sure I can find some more wall space!
My two current favorites:

Bird Talk Twilight

Treetop Shenanigans Laughing Kookoobura
