teal

The deep, rich and decadent shade of bluey-green is very in at the moment and I can't help but be swept up into the craze. It reminds me of the sea and I love the sea. My wardrobe, which has traditionally been black/grey, is slowly starting to brighten up and teal is one of my more popular choices. It looks great with tan leather shoes and/or accessories. Plus I like saying it. All in all, good times.

picking strawberries

It's one of my favouritest summer activities. Although we've not had much of a summer this year I'm not letting that stop me so on Sunday, in the height of the British summer and in between the rain showers, me and Nick took my cousin and her three gorgeous daughters to pick strawbs and rasps.

The kids had a great time, it was their first time strawberry picking and they approached it as one big competition, which was fine by us as it meant a bigger and better haul...mostly.



and then we left for home as the rainclouds began to loom

lots o' stuff

And therein lies the problem. I already have another blog for my jewellery company, mymiyel, and the adventures that it brings, but I've found that it is getting overtaken by posts about all the stuff I like. So then I think, why not start a new blog for this stuff since there is so much. It's really more for myself, I have a mental shopping list and inspiration board and it's getting a little crowded in there so I thought I'd start putting it into a nice categorised and chronological blog where I can look back and say "ah yes, let's go buy that now" or "ugh what was I thinking?!". Either way, it'll be a interesting way of documenting and remembering the all beautiful things I find along the way.

Enjoy!
