STYLING A SMUG SHELFIE

A few weeks ago I was invited to attend a super fun bloggers breakfast co-hosted by the lovely Tiffany from Curate and Display and beautiful SMUG in Islington, where we were asked to take part in a little styling challenge. Ran by owner and founder Lizze Evans, this wonderfully curated lifestyle and homewares store is like a little slice of heaven if you're into pretty things. Filled with some gorgeous designers wears, I cooed and ahhed as I passed the threshold, mentally making my Christmas wishlist to take back to Paul.

We were met with the smell of coffee and pastries which is by far my most perfect way to start any day, and after a quick catch up with some lovely online ladies we were set our challenge: to create and style a SMUG shelfie in 30 minutes using products from the store. Always one for a challenge and eager to get my hands on the beautiful ceramics, I browsed the shelves and shop corners collecting pieces as I went along.

It's great to see how so many different visions come to life, each person telling their own story on a shelf. Some people went for colour themes, others for shape, simplicity or a reflection of their blog, I chose pieces that had a unique structure like this Origami Est Star and Crinkled Cup, tying in monochrome and soft hints of colour with this mint and copper notebook and gorgeous Rifle Paper Co. notebook, as well as sneaking in this fun plush toy which is new in for Christmas.

Never have I heard a group of people so quiet, entranced by the small shelf space and objects in hand, and the results were just wonderful. You can discover the beautiful bloggers who took part here:

After a fun morning surrounded by lovely people and beautiful pieces, I left the store happy and desperately in need of this stunning Lenneke Wipelwey Ceramic bowl.
