Making waves....

found via : fine little day

I saw this lovely skirt today - I'm still deep in the scallop theme obviously - it is by a lovely little Spanish company called 'la casita de wendy' and they have some really sweet and original items in their shop, and I love their photoshoot, the illustrations are beautiful!

I particularly like the Wave skirt above and the Owl jumper below....

So much to love about this picture, now I just need to figure out how to incorporate pastels, wool felt, bows and scallops into my winter wardrobe....

Where have you been all my life?!

I made a Salsa Verde to have with my Alaskan salmon for dinner tonight and I cannot believe I have never made it before - its so easy and mouth-wateringly delish, perfect for a quick summer supper....

Here is the LINK to the recipe courtesy of Mr Jamie Oliver, whose recipes are delighting and inspiring me this summer :-)

Autumn DIY list

Here are some of the Autumn trends that I have seen and like, and plan on making my own DIY versions....

Leather sash belt by Vionnet - found via Net-a-Porter

I particularly like how this looks tied at the back in a big bow with a simple dress

Asymmetrical Hem T-shirt by Bassike - found via Net-a-porter

This would be so easy, buy a t-shirt dress from Primark or Uniqlo and hack off the hem at an angle - pair with skinnies and a blazer and off you go!


T-shirt dress by Edun - found via Net-a-porter

Again, a simple T-shirt dress could be the basis of this dress, and then a little work on the dress-form and some careful scissor action and something similar could be achieved.

FFFFound......

I love THIS website - it brings together all the beat visual treats from around the web and is so great for inspiration!
