Jardin au soliel

Sorry for the heap of photos but this is more of a 'look at these pretty plants' sort of post, I as usual am wearing ripped denim at the bottom and minimum amount of clothing on the top. Just when I was starting to get my oversize cardigans and jackets out to play, the weather did a complete 180 degrees and it was summer again, not that I am complaining, beach going weather is welcome at all times. Spent a lazy day eating yummy food and walking amongst tropical forest-esque foliage pretending to be on a holiday. I was in heaven around the succulents and cactii, frolicking about in the sun and then promptly lay down for a nap/ day dreaming. The best kind of day! Happy weekend world!

A few of my favourite things

When I am disturbed and things are not going well, I turn to objects that have always cheered me up, given me comfort and motivation. Here are a few such things; succulents, succulents and more succulents, any kind of plants actually, if I could convert my house into a jungle I'd be happy, fabric/ carpet bags have been inspiring entire outfits lately, my bags are hung all over the room off every conceivable piece of furniture including my book-shelf, chair etc, plaids always have a place in my outfit choices and they look great clashing with the prints on my bags.

I have bought a copper plant hanger from the local Salvos today and can't wait to put a plant in and hang it up. Little things give me great joy in trying times. What inspires you?
