Wonderful Whispers.....

I was hesitant about posting these pics....sometimes when you love a piece of clothing so much you want to keep it for yourself. But this is afterall meant to be about all things I love....so here they are. Zimmermann's Whisper collection - a summer cocktail of fruit punch coloured florals with lace trim - incredible gorgeous, I think I might just have to have a Whisper.....

Braids Big and Small....

There is something so easy and carefree about braids. It's the best way to deal with unruly hair, or to create soft waves.

Hammock Time......

Ahhh, the humble hammock....Swaying softly to the gentle summer breeze.
And why restrict the hammock to under the shade of a tree? I love these images... it kind of makes me think you could just fold up your hammock and take it where ever you go - to the ocean, to the park and as the last pic shows, it even has a place inside the home.

Happy Friday.....

Simply put, this looks like a path in paradise.
Happy Friday.

Rinse Off....

I've just been for a swim before sunset, and upon returning home leaving a trail of sand behind me I've decided my future house will have an outdoor shower....maybe with a plunge pool as well...

Little Miss Sunshine.....

The perfect way to welcome summer.
Sunshine
Loving this burst of yellow - it's the perfect colour to wear during these sun-drenched days. The trick is to find the right shade of yellow for your skin tone. I also love the natural make-up and slightly messy hair. When wearing a shade so bright, it's best to let the colour speak for itself.

Quite a Delight....

Never one to get it wrong, fashion house Chloe dazzles crowds yet again with sheer brilliance.
Feminine, chic and understated elegance - the colours, the fabrics and the ballet flats to top it off.
Sigh....

The Beauty of a Beach Hut...

There's nothing quite like falling asleep with the sound of the waves crashing close by, or crisp white linen sheets, wooden floors and walls with rough edges along the window sills.
There's nothing quite like waking up - still the waves are crashing in, walking down to the shore for an early morning swim.
Outdoor showers, hammocks swaying gently in the breeze.
There's nothing quite like a beach hut by the sea...

Pretty Polka Dots...

I can't even remember how old I was the first time I ever saw Pretty Woman, but Ido remember loving the chocolate brown polka dot dress worn by Julia Roberts to the Polo.
I have recently seen a silk dress similar to it and would love to add it to my wardrobe....

Clothes Horse....

Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw once said 'I like my money right where I can see it, hanging in my closet.'
The famous closet is pictured below.
My wardrobe will never look quite like hers - in quantity or quality, and don't even get me started on the walk-in wardrobe that Big built her - that's a whole different blog post!

Imagine looking at your wardrobe, filled with pieces so beautiful you'll keep them forever... simply because they are too amazing to throw out.
Rather than throw things out I try and pass things off to friends... but some things are too hard to part with... and there have been so many times shopping with my mum when she spots something and says she once had something just like it.
So I try to keep that in mind when 'investing' in amazing things - shoes, handbags and silk and cashmere pieces; I will keep them forever.
I also find it so intriguing looking through my friends wardrobes and see how they put together different looks... and I must say, they all have great style! Xx

Bags of Beauty....

Love. Love. Love a good handbag.
I love bags and believe you always need a variety to choose from. For winter I can't go past soft black leather bags, but summer brings so many more options... and I'm loving the soft hues of this tan bag against a blend of ivory, whites and blush pink.
The last bag pictured is Miu Miu - gorgeous!

Happy Friday....

Love the striking blue of this Gucci number. Have been thinking about a maxi dress for this summer and this pic inspires me to go looking this weekend for the perfect one... sadly it won't be from Gucci though!
Happy Friday X

Summer on Ice....

It was 33 degrees here today, and while soaking up the sun at the beach I started thinking about some refreshing, thirst-quenching drinks and snacks to make this summer for everyone to enjoy. I have thought of a few, but if anyone knows of anything extra special let me know....
