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!

Sunday 23rd May 2010.

Inspiration
My outfits over the weekend (including the one above) were inspired by my ‘melting pot meets no brain effort meets bohemia’ mood. Sunday saw me sleep half the day away in a bid to shake off my bed bound end to last week. The rest of the day and weekend was spent with family, taking in the gorgeous sunshine and just taking it slow.

Boy jeans are much more fun
The nonchalant baggy cut of the gap mens jeans make them my to go to pair for lazy days. Saturday morphed into Sunday with them still on me. How I fell asleep with them on I shall never know. After a quick shower when I woke I threw them back on with the bikini top. Later on in the day, on my way out I pulled the Topshop vest over the top. I twisted the Momo scarf (part of the label’s London Fashion Week show goody bag three seasons ago) into a makeshift turban.

Hot buttered socks
The argyle socks were in the just laundered pile and so I pulled them on because there is something about freshly laundered socks. Plus argyle socks to me are like an instant mood lift. Paired with the open toe Carvela wood heels all was well in my world.

I like outfits that come into being on their own, with minimal thought, the ones that just sort of happen.
