TODAY'S MENU {Frozen Yogurt Cones}

{Coast to Coastal}

I've recently made the big move from the East to the West coast. Not discounting my love for the bustling city vibe, the decision had nothing to do with a geographical itch and everything to do with a great romance.

So, needless to say, I am a dark-haired, scarf-sporting, blackberry-obsessed city gal trying to find her way in a new and might I add very laid back metropolis...and what better way to honour my new digs than to embrace its utmost solid foundation? The beach!

*GREEN* Create your very own collection by recycling old bottles and filling them with beautiful pastels

Accents such as coral and shells collected at the beach are a great way to achieve that coastal cottage vibe

*GIFT* Silk-printing paragon Thomas Paul covers every square foot of the home with his colourful designs. Melamine dessert plates to bath towels, perhaps a quirky throw pillow or a nautical-inspired wristlet for that fashionista friend of yours?

TODAY'S MENU {Gelato}

{Feeling Beachy}
I have many fond memories from my Euro-trip a couple years back, but one of my absolute favourites is walking to the gelaterie in Cinque Terre, Italy. With each visit came a new flavour followed by a walk down to the beach where I would embrace the beauty and delicious flavours in all their glory!

Although I'm no longer on that rocky beach, I can't help but be thankful for one of the many perks that come with my job - having access to endless amounts of beautiful images! Lately one in particular has been popping up before my eyes, leading me on a quest to find the mystery man behind the print...the amazing Italian photographer Massimo Vitali.

Beaches, swimming pools and even discos, Vitali captures those spectacular moments and reminds me of that cup full of gelato and sweet memories.
