Summer Things I Love

 

Good-bye Summer - I love you!

It's killing me to have to say good-bye to summer. 

I know there are gorgeous Autumn days ahead but summer is by far my favourite season.

Here are just a few things I will miss about summer:~

lovely, bright summer fashions

light and healthy salads

summer parties with friends

entertaining on the deck on the deck

ice-cream & fruity popsicles

seafood, seafood and more seafood!

I envy those of you with summer just around the corner!

Shades of Summer | Light Blue

Heavenly blue.

As February draws to a close ~ I am squeezing the most out of summer…
Here are some summer moments in the softest shade of blue to stay in the mood!
This colour is so fresh and pretty ~
it just screams beach days and good times!

Beach Picnic

Relaxed Beach Party

Summer is the perfect time of year to gather up some friends and
head to the beach for a beach picnic.
Load up a picnic basket with tasty treats and fingerfood,
throw a picnic rug in the boot of the car,
grab an esky to keep drinks icy cold
and head to your favourite beach spot.
Watch the sun set whilst sipping on an ice cold beer or a chilled glass of wine,
then settle back for a relaxed evening.
When the sun sinks below the horizon,
it's time to light a campfire and toast some marshmallows!

What a perfect way to spend a hot summer's night!

Tropical Beach House | Sugar Beach

Understated Luxury

Kinda wishing I was here right now …
 It’s the a Viceroy Resort on Sugar Beach, St Lucia …
and it is totally my kind of resort.
Luxury, white weatherboard villas set in lush, tropical gardens,
private swimming pools,
stylish decor with a relaxed tropical vibe, 
white sandy beaches and azure waters ...
what more could you want?

A Hint Of Mint

 

Mint Fresh

Loving this burst of minty freshness, especially in that kitchen.

The gorgeous kitchen above, really captures a vintage, beach vibe.
The clear glass window splashback lets the light in and floods the room with sunshine
 as well as providing a view of the outdoors.
The woven basket pendant lights hint at beach days and the promise of summer.
The palette of mint and fresh green celebrates new growth
and the flowers add a touch of Spring prettiness.
