The New York Apartment of Stylist Marcus Hay {Ideat Magazine}

I came across these photo's from French decor magazine Ideat over at Pinterest today by way of the English Must blog.  It's the New York apartment of stylist Marcus Hay and I'm loving his relaxed, eclectic style.  I liked the images enough so that I wanted to see more of the magazine and purchased the digital version of here. More available on his website and blog, Fluff ‘n’ Stuff. Photos by Jonny Valiant.

Miu Miu-Inspired Gold Glitter Birthday Cake!

 

How beautiful is this gold glitter birthday cake by Apollinas inspired by Miu Miu shoes fall collection.  It's a pink champagne cake layered with Peach Preserves and Vanilla Buttercream. You may remember this spring when I posted about her Stella McCartney-inspired citrus cake. I love how she collides fashion with cakes. See more of how to and where she got that gold edible glitter from by clicking here.
