Jen’s Lust List: 13.06.17

Hi folks. Sorry I’ve neglected this weekly roundup while I’ve been overseas!

I have developed a love of floral artworks lately and this limited edition Waratah print from Lamai Anne is rather gorgeous. Lamai, who loves drawing Australian natives, brings her illustrations to life with her digital art. Her work began its upward spiral when her first fabric collection was showcased through Robert Kaufman. She has since worked with companies such as Adairs and Hallmark cards. From $135.

Clearly I’m rather partial to the native flora myself! Maybe it’s because I’m from England where the flowers are so very different (yet equally lovely)? I’ve always loved Utopia Goods and their latest collection, The Native Classics, is as gorgeous as ever. The Waratah and Eucalypt designs are my favourites. Aussie as. In the best possible way!

Something else you can never have enough touches of (when done right) in my opinion, is leopard print! This Society of Wanderers print on French linen is just perfect and comes as table and bed linen. Whether you go for napkins or Euro pillowcases, this touch of animal print will look great in your home. Trust me! Buy online via Greenhouse Interiors.

I seem to be all about textiles this week, don’t I?! I feel like gingham is making a comeback and I’m loving it! I’m currently in the UK and gingham is all over the high street in clothing. How good are these charcoal pillowcases from the new The Pillowslip Store? I feel like you could easily mix and match them to great effect, even if you kept your doona cover plain. I do enjoy a more layered, mix and match bed look in the cooler months. $35 each in 100% cotton.

I’ll be back with more finds next week!

Utopia Goods’ annual pop-up Sydney sale not to be missed

For those of you who are just too impatient to wait for the postman (that has to be the worst thing about online shopping, right?!), you can now pop into Utopia Goods’ temporary store in Sydney’s Bondi Junction.

The pop-up store will also allow local fans the opportunity to snap up Utopia Goods’ signature hand-illustrated prints, referencing Australia’s native bush flora and fauna in their full technicolour glory. Some of the best buys of the sale will be the contemporary Crimson Rosella printed quilts in 100% cotton — with a co-ordinating Vermicular Squiggle on the flip side — for $190 each and the languorous Laughing Kookaburra print splayed across a range of duvets, sheets sets and pillowcases in a rhapsody of rainbow hues (available in single, queen and king sizes) from $110.

Also available are tablet cases in Mountain Fern and Flannel Heath (perfect gift material) and kaleidoscope coloured makeup pouches and backpacks (ideal for shaking up the usual pallor-palette of weekender luggage), all at 50% off original prices.

The pop-up store, at 240 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction, is open until 16 May. Opening times are 9.30am-to-5.30pm Monday to Friday, 10am-to-4pm Saturday and 11am-to-3pm Sunday.
