Denim desires

I'm still a one chair household. ok two technically but only one has a cushion. and believe me, they need cushions.

It's been 3 months - time for a couch!

This denim one caught my eye whilst scrolling DtoI (this will forever be my abbreviation of Desire to Inspire). It reminds me of my perfect man - big and strong, yet cosy and humble - with a slight quirk.

Never in my wildest did I think I'd actually FIND a denim covered delight but as i was strolling through Spiral charity shop this afternoon I was stopped in my tracks by A DENIM COVERED DELIGHT. So fingers crossed that the lovely gentleman who does steam cleaning for the shop gives me the thumbs up for removal of the GINORMOUS stains on both arms and then, this Saturday I will own a faded denim couch!! No matter that my real perfect man doesn't like denim (on couches) - he is currently, well, not here, so denim couch it is! Whoo hoo!!

The lazy life

1. Beach hut, Mt Irvine, Tobago 2. Chin, Turtle Beach, Tobago
3. These flowers kept falling on me as I was sunbathing in the late afternoon, it was something I wanted to capture to brighten Brighton's rainy days
4. Can't escape! Brighton Rock fishing boat, Castara Bay, Tobago
5. My favourite, PinkBougainvillea, Fort King George 6. A forgotten fishing boat, Mt Irvine
7. Fort King George

Just came back from an amazing two weeks visiting Chin in Trinidad and Tobago. We stayed in Tobago together for the first week and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Tobago is my place on earth. More pics to come ...

Emma Watson for People Tree

Ok so we've heard that girl-of-the moment Emma Watson was collaborating with fair trade fashion giant People Tree for SS2010 but I did not expect to want to whip out my credit card this much when the collection finally launched! Young, fresh and sporty - the collection is a celebration of all things english and uhhhh, public school although I have a feeling it nods in the direction of Hogwarts rather than Eton. Check out my wishlist below:
