On days like this I just feel like summer is here. I want to run out of the office jump on a train and take a trip to my beach house. But unfortunately it is Wednesday and still lots to do before I can run away on Saturday for the weekend. I thought I’d share these images with you as they just ooze summer for me!

my one true love

My love for accessories never dies, it doesn’t even go through lulls. It would actually go as far to say it is one thing that makes me truly happy and feel ontop of the world for days. I am a magpie that loves all things metal and shine. I love checking anthropologie for their amazing collection of jewellery and bits an bobs. Above is a speak peak of me favourites.

electric texture

These self Portraits by Miss Lulu & The Teaspoon Shortage's are beautiful. Filled with lots of textures and colours I find them striking. A bit of post production work has been obviously done to bring the electricity into them, but I find them a fantastic piece of aesthetic expression.

chic yet luxurious

So my last post stated I was going to spend my Friday night at home cleaning and reorganising my apartment. But it seems that my best friend (alcohol) and I have a bit of catching up to do over the weekend, so my decorating plans went on hold.




I did however ponder and found some more inspiration. Above is a beautiful, chic yet luxurious interior done in a canal house in the centre of Amsterdam. Designed by uxus who also designed this great McDonalds play ground that allows kids to play and learn about food. Source: Design* Sponge

time for change

With the end of the year approaching and summer kicking in we have flat mates moving out and things moving around. I’m excited about going home this Friday night, cleaning my house and moving things around to make it look pretty. Which also means the need to buy new things to decorate with, shame. However my bank account isn’t exactly bursting at the pockets right now so I have subtly sent my family links to all the wonderful things I add to my wish list. And the great thing is they can buy them then and there on line! Above I share some of the things that keep me awake at night, I love that i probably wouldn’t use most of the things and they are surely decrotavie, ultimate consumer. Enjoy

All are from Velocity.

dreamy

I just love this series of photos. So dreamy and angelic, I want to climb into the photos and snuggle in. Have a look at more of this gorgeous work at LOLITA.

your online wardrobe

I saw the pitch for this a couple of months ago and was ever so excited. So when I received an email informing me of its launch this morning, I was over the moon!

Closet Couture is your online wardrobe, it allows you to see what items you have in your closet and prepare outfits in advance. This is especially handy at this time of year when there is Christmas parties, drinks and catch ups to be had, I would hate for someone to see me in the same thing twice. It also offers a personal stylist option. This is great if you got yourself into a bit of a bother finding a pair of shoes to match that beautiful, new, buttercup yellow dress. You hire a stylist of your choice and they come back to you with a list of options. Personally I have never found the idea of having a personal stylist that exciting. What’s the point of working hard for your money if you can’t go out and spend it! Anyway take a tour and check it out, it’s gold! I can see the i phone app not too far behind.

sunny rain

I’m so very envious of this blog. Oh I wish I had the time and dedication (because I should just find the time) to keep a visual blog. Yuki posts a photo of her surroundings which are usually colored in pastel colors, soft and dreamy, mmm.
