It's Complicated has to be my number one go-to film for its story and style. As with all Nancy Meyers films, the home sets are incredible - from the colour schemes and signature pieces to the little treasures that tell you more about her characters. Meryl Streep, as always, delivers an amazing performance as successful businesswoman, mother and divorcee - Jane Adler. After drunkenly reigniting the spark with her ex-husband - Jake (Alec Baldwin) - who happens to have married the woman he left her for after 20 years of marriage, Jane soon yo-yos between guilt and feeling like a loved-up teenager. The film unfolds into a love triangle involving architect Adam (Steve Martin), while Jane's three grown-up children play peace keepers. This film is perfect for all generations who are in need of a giggle (not to mention home decor inspiration):

John Lewis is a great place to start if you love this Hamptons-meets-Paris look. Here are some of my favourite pieces:

Diane Keaton plays dramatist Erica Barry who loves strolling along the beach collecting white pebbles for her Hampton home in between script writing. She adores all things French so styles her home by combining nautical accents with crisp white French classics. Everything's stylish and in order - until ultimate bachelor Harry (Jack Nicholson) turns up, has a heart attack in her home and is sofa-bound. It's a hilarious love story with amazing decor: a classic Nancy Meyers flick.  

The soundtrack makes the best Sunday morning kitchen music.
Best enjoyed with a coffee and croissant.
