Just love. 

So beautiful they inspired me to paint my own as a gift for a family friend's newborn boy:

I hope baby Charlie likes elephants too!

{ neonspiration }

I'm sure I'll be over by it tomorrow, however today (I'm a bit sheepish to admit) I'm obsessed - like everyone else - with neon. I don't think I will find myself actually buying/ wearing much of it but it does make for great photos! Case in point those satchels at the top.... they're a fluoro twist on the cult bags from the Cambridge Satchel Company and can be personalised with your initials embossed -very cool. Am sure I will start seeing these on the shoulders of many pretty young girls this summer as they'll go well with all those denim cut offs + high buns + stacks of overpriced friendship bands. 

Anyways I'm going to embrace it for this minute, too - so here are a few picks from my recent neon trawl! 

She's fabulous:

Hard to choose which image of BEE to include as she is basically most stylish person ever.... but this pom-pom scarf is too good:

Can't resist some colour-dipped coral:

Last but not least... I stumbled across this image a while ago but I really love it, I think it's because it could be a man or woman under there (look again!):

So what's the verdict... yes or no to neon? And how long will the fluoro fad last? I'd love to hear what you think!

{ another week! )

I can't believe another week has flown by and no posts... this blogging thing is easier than you realise to let slip. Eeek. That said, I can at least say that I have had quite a busy and productive week and I'm now very energised about  this exciting stuff that will come to a head in the next month or so with this project I'm working on. I've got so much to do over the next few weeks but I can't wait - more on all of this later! - but I will say that after a very fruitful planning session yesterday with the very talented and creative friend who I'm lucky enough to be working with on this, I left her showroom yesterday afternoon inspired and positive and with a real spring in my step. It's been a great week!

Sooo all this creativity and sunshine (plus my visit to the most colourful showroom/shop around!) has me craving colour...  yellow in fact, and lots of it. I want to be/ have all of this, don't you love?!

how cute are these... Kate Spade of course

She's fabulous! Image via The Style Rookie

Anyway hope everyone has a great weekend and I promise to get on the blog bandwagon next week!

My lily

It's days like today that I feel very lucky to live where we do. I had the loveliest day and spent most of it out in the garden drawing and enjoying the fresh air. I think it is now officially Spring - and my orchid is even starting to bud! Have a lovely weekend, see you next week.
