Dreaming of the Sun

My partner and I have been lucky enough to be invited to a wedding in Fiji at the beginning of August, and I'm SUPER excited.  I can't wait to escape the cold and spend a few days swimming, enjoying spa treatments and cocktails in the sun..it's going to be bliss.  Not to mention the wedding which is at sunset (swoon!) and will no doubt be a gorgeous, happy event!

The one thing playing on my mind is what to wear!  I've been to quite a few weddings in the last three years, but not one in a different climate. I know I can dress less formally to allow for the heat, so I've been playing around on Polyvore to make a few bright summery outfits with matching swimwear, just for fun.  I like the idea of something simple that can be accessorised to make different outfits, which will also save on suitcase space!

 I bought the Jets polka dot bikini yesterday...can't wait to have an actual reason to wear it (as it's probably not entirely appropriate for casual Friday in the office).

I'm Pretty Sure I Definitely Need This

Not only do I love shopping for clothes (new and vintage), but I am currently renovating my house, so am always on the lookout for cool appliances and decor ideas.  This feature is just so I can share what I'm currently drooling over, whether it's something I can afford or not!  I'll probably include the occasional craft idea too, because I love the idea of having original pieces in my home that truly reflect my personality and style.

The first item on my wish list is a kitchen mixer, something I've wanted for AGES but will probably never be able to afford new!  So I'm constantly on the hunt for a vintage model in good working order.  Who knows though, fingers crossed I can one day afford a brand new one of these babies - they come in customised colours named after foods like Mint, Cupcake and Lemon Meringue, so I was hooked from the very beginning! Let's just say I'm pretty much in love.

  

Of course, I'm still holding out hope that I'll miraculously stumble across one of these, and then I can get the whole thing spraypainted in the colour of my choice....I'm sending the request out to the universe as I type...
