Parisian Macarons

Only one more sleep before we go to Paris!  So looking forwards to all the galleries, architecture, shopping...  and macarons from Laduree!

Coastal Style

Back to Kirra Beach yesterday, this heat calls for constant cooling off in the surf!  The weather was beautifully clear and the water was the perfect temperature.  The beach had formed pockets of shallow pools from the sand having moved from the previous week.  We divided our time between swimming in the surf, lying on the sand and wading in the pools. I love the salt in my hair after a long day at the beach, it always makes me feel like I am on holidays even if it's only a day trip to the ocean.  For me, these images from Lonny capture the ideal relaxed style of the season.

I Heart Shanghai Tang

 

Whenever we head over to South East Asia I love to visit Shanghai Tang for its modern colourful Chinoise style.  Their catalogues are always shot in such beautiful interiors and locations across Asia.  Did someone say Peranakan?  The top several images show typical interiors from houses in the Straits of Malacca, one of my favourite places in Malaysia.  The second series of shots are from a different catalogue which I also love. Look at those beautiful colours and patterns in the clothes not to mention the wall tiles and cushions from the homewares range in the second last image. Lovely...

Pretty Things

This is a blog post dedicated to finding the perfect gift for someone who is a girly kinda girl.  The above images are from Ada + Darcy and Beach Vintage which I find to be perfect inspiration.  Not so much lace and ruffles but more fun, bright, vibrant florals, pretty candles, porcelain dinnerware, vases and lamps and of course lots of cute polka dots and stripes. Fun and definitely girly styles!
