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!
