REBEL ROMANCE

For her
The Ocean
Was more
Than a dream
It was a place
She needed to visit
To find herself

and when she returned
to the city,
you could see the Sun
in her eyes, the Wind
in her hair, and taste
the infinite salt
on her lips.

José Chaves 

There is a romantic rebel inside all of us that seeks beauty, peace, happiness and adventure.

You need to find what sensory experiences best embrace your inner self.

Is it the Ocean, the mountains, the rivers, the lakes, the cities with all its extraordinary architecture or the green forests and the desert.

The romance between you and the landscape that inspires you is a perpetual cycle of subliminal love.

The energy of a place speaks a language that either connect you to it or it depletes you.

Be aware. Feel it.

The East has always been in tune with the spirit of a place and purification has been part of the rituals of cleansing a home.

Soft sounds like tricking water make you calm.

Candles are my absolute favourite. The scents of perfumed candles like peonies and peppercorns are so indulgent but soft.

It is peony season right now.

Petal and Post in Cape Town has been selling the most beautiful bouquets.

Simple and elegant.

The fashion trends for Summer 24 are very much about Romantic Boho Chic and my favourite collection is from Ralph Lauren.

This trend will certainly influence interior design and I am excited about it because it will bring rich sophisticated colours into your home.

Yes, of course, you can’t change your entire home overnight but you can introduce elements of your favourite object d’art into your high traffic areas.

Use points that attract attention and in so doing refresh your entertainment area and your kitchen.

FRESH. RELEVANT. INFORMED.

I hope that you embrace the rebel romantic in you!

I can’t wait.

Talk soon ….stay well beautiful people.
