Inspired outfit

Since I'm on holiday today and going away for the weekend, I came up with an outfit for our road trip, too bad I don't really own any of this!

Ikat dress from La Garçonne
Maxmara jeans
Ted Lapidus sunglasses
Strawberry lip balm from Anthropologie
Hobo bag from Ruche
Sandals from La Garçonne

So stunning!

Jose Villa specialises in wedding photography and is simply an amazing photographer! Just look at the lighting and the styling, gorgeous! Plenty more beauty on his blog, believe me I just got lost there!

Birds Boutique Café

We popped in to Birds Boutique Café on the weekend and had a delicious brunch. I've been wanting to go there for ages and have just never got round to it! Birds Café is a lovely simple and relaxed spot, serving divine food and some gorgeous ceramics too.

Outdoor bliss

Loving these beautiful photos by Anna Ådén, soft and dreamy. I'm going away for the weekend to a little cottage in the mountains, I can hardly wait!

Soft white

It's the start of the week again and I'm not sure how ready I am for it, my head is feeling a bit cluttered! So I'm really enjoying these photos, very calming and quite serene.

Pretty pastels

Beautiful, uplifting photos for a relaxing sunday. All styled and taken by the talented Leslie of A creative mint. Take a look at her blog to see all her colour themed inspiration boards, they are always so well put together and just so pretty! There's an interview with Leslie at Simply Hue and also at Decor8 where she will be a bi-monthly guest, so exciting. So there you have it, some interesting reading for your sunday, enjoy.

I'm off for a walk up the mountain now and then lunch with friends, can't wait!

Local blog

I've just discovered that Mr Price has their very own fashion blog, I am very impressed! (Thanks to Kim for sharing). Featuring local news and design as well as international inspiration, it's definitely worth a look!

Love this airy, fresh white room with just a splash of colour. And the helium balloons holding the fabric up... this definitely makes me smile.

Yellow joy!

It's amazing what some colour can do to lift your mood, especially yellow! No secret there but I've put together some yellow images I've found lately that have simply put me in a happier space...
