Keep Your Hat On

Although the temperature has plummeted here (Winter has smashed it's 
way into Brisbane), I still put on sunscreen and wear a hat walking my 
girl to school. I remember I had a hat similar to this one when I was a kid, 
I wonder if you can still buy them from somewhere? Very dorky but
very practical, Anyone had one of these growing up? Image via pinterest

Shopping


I just got word via Jennifer Coastal from Beach Store, that they are offering 25% 
discount on all RoomItUp products! Just go to this link @ Beachstore , copy this
coupon code: BSNS-20roomitup & paste it  into the 'coupon code'  field.....I do like 
those flip flops!

Board Crazy - Decorating with Surf Boards

Nothing say's beach house more than a surf board  somewhere in the room,
even old banged up ones can get a new lease of life as you will see in these images-
hang a retro long board on a wall, some long boards can be so beautiful,
like works of art in their own right image via here

or prop one up in a corner image 1,2

old boards used as a fence in Haiku on Maui, probably the coolest fence in the world!
 along with the coolest gate image 1,2

Look of the week

Love, love, love this look via chicisimo


Thought the green shorts we're appropriate considering it's St Patrick's Day on Sunday.
We're off to Moreton Island this weekend to play on the the sand hills and catch up with 
some friends who also happen to live on a boat.
Have a great weekend!

A little neon

It's taken me some time to get used to neon being back in fashion, maybe it's the flashbacks of being completely decked out in it, from my green fluro scrunchie down to my oh so cool fluro pink and yellow double sock combo. But......used as an accent, it can add a punchy pop to interiors and a fresh zing to an outfit, I have to say I'm once again a fan of neon!
        







































I think the key is to use neon in moderation...like all good things.


Weekend Shorts

These shorts by Sass+Bide are so fun!!! Worn well by Jessica of  Tuula , I love 
the geometric patterns and bold clashing colours. Perfect for Friday afternoon 
margaritas with a few friends don't you think?     Have a great Weekend!

Spade + Broadhurst

The iconic designs of Florence Broadhurst are the inspiration for fashion house 
Kate Spade New Yorklatest Spring collection, starring the Japanese floral design 
(my favourite). Florence was so ahead of her time, it's great to see her archival prints 
taking the world by storm gracing bags, homewares, dresses, jewellery, wallpaper
and these sneakers which are now on the top of my Birthday list. Trey sneaker  

Some of the designs in the Spring 2012 Collection. More here

Techno Tropic

Lovin' the makeover tropical prints have received, the digital mirror
imaging looks striking against black leather and metallic accessories,
I'm absolutely smitten with the Stella McCartney dress.

Birds

Birds, Manish Arora  Fashion Week Spring 2012
As with everyone else at the moment, it's hard to get to do the
things I normally do, Christmas and school holidays sure do mess
up the normal routine!!! The boat job is also very exhausting, but I'm 
still really enjoying it. I'm super excited for the New Year to start 
though, I'm working on some things that will be unveiled sometime
 early February. Have a great week! ...(only six more sleeps to go).

Hot

First day of Summer today and I think we're in for a scorcher of a season. 
This shoot by Manuel Nogueira for Elle Brazil November issue, cleverly captures
the essence of a heat wave, with the bold contrasting colours and harsh light.
