Odds & Sods, Bits & Bobs at LifestyleBAZAAR

My passion for design and everything nice continues with me stumbling across LifestyleBazaar which is located under Kingsland Rd Bridge, one of East London's forgotten historical beauties. I love the idea of surrounding yourself with affordable art which has changed considerably from it being as just mounted pieces of art on walls to a great shift towards art being translated onto a wide range of mediums that you can use in your daily life. LifestyleBazaar surely holds onto its reputation for being one store that sorts out innovative, affordable and collectable designs.

Amore Vincit Omnia - Love Conquers All- represents the most powerful symbol of our love and affection; the mysterious repository of our most intimate secrets, desires and thoughts. A covetable token for someone you really like. Each heart is crafted by hand in Stoke on Trent by The New English from the Finest English Bone China and is supplied with its own unique presentation 'table'. Let us be honest with each other, who wouldn't like to be presented with a heart that is hand brushed with 22 Kt Gold? It is the ultimate romantic gift any lover can hand to their one and only.

This moustache cushion cover designed by Anne Hubert for La Cerise sur le Gateau, a new exciting French brand is made with 100%  cotton with black and red embroidery. I adore the red embroidered text under each moustache and it makes me want to pick each of these moustaches individually, prop them right on top of my upper lip and utter words such as 'Lord Stilton' in a French accent.

Inkhead is designed by Florian Hutter for The New English  and is inspired by the Mexican 'Day of Death' or 'Dia De La Muerte', definitely one of my favourite pieces in the store. It is colourful, vibrant, very detailed and will make you appreciate art every time you pick one of those pieces up. For centuries, the tattoo has served to shock, inspire and feed our imagination in equal measure. It is an artform which has crossed every boundary of culture, sex, gender and geography and is today less marginalised then ever before. Inkhead reflects society's changing relationship with tattoos, encapsulating its detail and symbolism. This set is guaranteed to be one great conversation starter for any occasion.
