Good Morning Sunshine!
I woke up today to bright indulgent sunshine. My garden was drenched in the golden rays and so I decided to turn it into a makeshift beach retreat. My theory was if I cannot get to the beach, I’ll bring it to me. Well sort of …
A girl can never have too many mocktails…
So an hour later it was ice cold fruit mocktails (cocktails minus the alcohol for any non teetotalers) on the ready, fashion magazines galore and gummy bears while I lounged without a care in the garden.
When in Rome …
My lounge outfit was inspired by my desire to be beachside and beyond.The vintage lilac dress is wonderfully light and I shimmed the bustier top (it was originally the bust of a dress) over it. I liked the candy yellow chevron stripes of the top against the pastel lilac of the dress.
Beach fun minus the pesky sand
So it has been a sun soaked day and faux beach side adventures. The fabulous thing is I havent got any hard to rid seaside sand to contend with either. Love!
