Aqua Days

 

Aqua is my favourite summer colour.

It's so fresh, cool and bright

instantly lifting my sprits.

It's the perfect colour for

a summer wardrobe and 

decorating a beach house.

It's also such an inviting colour

for a dip in the pool or a swim in the ocean.

Aqua Love

Loving this fresh and summery inspiration.
I am longing for some hot, sunny weather and
long days at the beach!

A Taste of the Tropics

 

 

With the winter chill firmly entrenched ~
I am wishing away grey skies with thoughts of tropical destinations.
This time two years ago I was lazing under a coconut palm in Bora Bora.
This year, we are madly renovating our new beach house
for an August move in date.

Would I rather be sipping Pina Coladas in Tahiti 
or up a ladder painting ....???
Mmmm..... I wonder!

A Splash Of Coastal Colour

If there is one thing Connecticut photographer Jeff McNamara is known for, it's his outstanding ability to capture light. This assortment of turquoise and aqua infused photos taken from his portfolio really showcase that unique talent, the lighting truly is incredible in each photo! My favorite photo is the first one - it really sets the scene! It has me longing for summer days at the beach. The interiors are pretty amazing too...so many beautiful textures, layers and, of course, light!

Dreaming of Summer

 Today I'm loving this pretty inspiration 

in ice-cream shades.

Wishing I was hanging out poolside right now!
