Country glamour I

I absolutely love these photos, the fashion, the scenery, the little goat... stunning! One day I'll have to live in the country, for a while at least!





And how lovely is this jewellery by Lulu Frost? (discovered thanks to dress design decor)
Would be the perfect compliment for these feminine dresses and frills....

Friday relief!

I am so thankful it's friday, this has been such a long and hectic week, it's crazy at work at this time of year and so stressful... so this weekend is very much in need! I wish I really could just find some beautiful place and get lost...

And a bit of exercise, hopefully a trip up the mountain, weather depending and maybe a bike trip...

And lastly I'll have to do a bit of homework, I have so much correspondence and catching up to do as well as my Spanish. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, any exciting plans I should know about? Enjoy!

Dream destination

Well, it's supposed to almost be Summer here in SA and yet it's been rainy and miserable for days. So these sun drenched holiday style pics are so inviting and just what I need to keep me going, love the setting and the gorgeous, slightly nostalgic fashion, sigh...

Art ♥

Happy Tuesday everyone! I've had a great start to the day because I just found out that I won a giveaway at Simply Hue, thank you Vicki and Deanna!! It's a piece of original art by Deanna and speaking of art, a great place to visit for affordable art and photographs is 20X200. They add two new pieces a week and have a great website showing all the art, take a look at some of my faves...

Flora and fauna

Hope you all had a great weekend, I had such a busy one, so I'm not sure if I'm ready for another busy week again! Well what can we do? Today I thought I'd share some of Kari Herer's beautiful work, a combination of photography and illustration. I have featured her work before here, but her latest works are very different and quite stunning.
