Stylist Tara Sloggett
I was reading the fresh new issue of Real Living earlier this week and bookmarked a home that I was particularly fond of owned by stylist Tara Sloggett. I did some digging online to see if Tara had a website and she does — and it’s lovely!
Seems this talented lady gets around too, she has produced many beautiful lifestyle, food and interiors spreads for magazines and will no doubt continue to do many more as her work is quite good. You have to see the Jan/Feb 2011 issue of Real Living magazine for photos of her home, I don’t feel comfortable scanning them in and showing you here, but here is her home somewhat unfurnished (it is also used as a location house) to whet your appetite. It is located in South Africa and has such charm.
Tara talks a little about her life and work on her gorgeous website, “New beginnings three years ago took me from London to Cape Town and now that the dust and the heart has settled I’m here to stay. Specialising in styling, art direction, prop sourcing and production for international and local editorial shoots and commercial clients, I’m lucky enough to do what I love, with amazing people, in a beautiful, inspirational country I’ve come to call home.”
Now that sounds like a happy lady doing what she loves!
P.S. If you live outside of Australia like me, you can still subscribe to the magazine. In fact, I order my subscription from Magshop and get my issues here in Germany before some of my Australian friends see it on the newsstand in Sydney! It is quite a speedy service and I highly recommend this magazine — managing editor Deborah Bibby does an outstanding job on each issue, I think that you would really enjoy it no matter where you live!

That lampshade is adorable with the base. I really wonder where she got that coat tree thingy – so many uses! I need one for my vintage purse collection!

What a blast from the past, the top painting of the semi clad lady is identical to one that used to hang on my Grandfather’s wall back in the early 70′s! His was housed in an ornate gold frame and took pride of place on the chimney breast.

I just did a tutorial on making a “love” word garland on my blog. The first picture makes me want to give it a try again without hanging it like a garland. Great picture!

Love how she incorporates the vintage furniture and the word “love” everywhere. Sometimes you need that little reminder.

Hello, I think the coat hanger tree is “Latva” designed by a Finnish designer Mikko Laakkonen.

I love Real Living! I am lucky enough to live in Australia and I have been subscribing for 2 years now. The inspiration and ideas shared in the magazine are wonderful, I have kept all of mine and love to flick back through old issues.
