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....

Just Cruising.....

I love this little house bus, pictured below, with the fairy lights and surf board; it makes me want to go on a road trip.
Amazing beaches, coconut oil, warm balmy nights and Pimm's with lime, mint and lots of ice.
Bring on the summer break!
