summer time

i live in an awesome summer time place.
i am very fortunate to have an (almost) 360 (degree- couldn't find the degree symbol sorry) view of the ocean. and on weekends like this one it has you hanging out for summer, cider and good music.

and cool summer fashion. 

we have a few partays coming along in the summer time so why not start browsing now?

my (cool) sister has some awesome shoes. they are windsor smiths.i love them and want to steal them. infact we've come up with a trading scheme where i will buy another pair- that are pretty rad- and then we can swap so we are suitably shoed for our various social outings. 

here are some snaps and you can buy them here at windsor smith
or here at wild pair.

  next is a summer accessory that i'm rather keen to invest in. the floral headband. what says summer more than flowers in your hair. and what an easy way to 'do' your hair. cheers pinterest for the following images:

will let you know what i end up purchasing....

table cloth

i'm (now) a table cloth geek.

i love them. yet i only own one. and it comes out at christmas. it is the most boring plain table cloth. so this year i'm jazzing things up.
i've also decided i'm going to start a collection. (somebody told me the other day that if you collect things you live longer- somebody probably also told me that if i ran everyday i'd also live longer, but i'm not jumping on that band wagon).

these are the table cloths that are going to be in my collection:

scalloped edge table cloth from sugar and cloth

geoemtric tablecloth from a bubbly life

polka dot tablecloth from ruffles & bells

dotty tablecloth from oh happy day

crosses from pinterest

 

bunting tablecloth from the sweet occasion

stripe tablecloth from oh happy day

 this wee selection shows how seriously easy and effictive d.i.y(ing) is. and how super awesome a table can become with a bit of creativity. 
table cloth for christmas anyone?

d.i.y

christmas is coming.
sometimes i pretend i'm a really organised person and that i sort chirstmas presents early. but in reality i make a million lists about what to get people, and then i lose these lists, and then a few days before christmas i buy things. 

so instead of worrying abut all that why not do it yourself.

right here :http://www.abeautifulmess.com/ is the most amazing blog. they have the best d.i.y things on this planet!

my favs are:

so many amazing present ideas. and extra ideal that you can do all these all by yourself.
also will make sure i blog about the d.i.y ribbon very soon (that i mentioned in a previous post).

happy wednesday!
