TODAY'S MENU {Cupcake Tree}

{Wouldn't it be Grand}
I always wanted a tree house, you know, the kind with the tire swing, tin can telephones and enough Archie comic books to last all summer. Well, my Archie days may have come and gone, but the future is bright for green living...

The award-winning Yellow Treehouse Restaurant in Auckland gave 'dining out' a whole new meaning.

TODAY'S MENU {Mai Tai}

{Tiki Town}

A dinner at the Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar in San Francisco's Fairmont hotel this past weekend was like taking a trip to a far off paradise. Enough to refresh, rejuvenate and relish in my festive surroundings, I fell in love with the beat of this bar.

Warm up in style with Italian designer Carlo Martin's sleek Tiki radiator

Punch up those walls with some vintage artwork

These stackable bamboo rings make it easy to tie in Tiki wherever you go

You don't have to dine in the Tonga Room to embrace this style, add a hit of colour to your table with these fun bamboo bowls

Tiki torches are a great way to crate paradise in your very own backyard!

TODAY'S MENU {Picnic Watermelon}

{Life's a Picnic}

Lately I've been noticing a trend in restaurants that I hope to adopt as soon as I have, well, a house and enough friends to come visit me. The communal table is the culinary world's answer to the modern-day picnic table. Pair it with a bench, stool, even a tree stump and you've got yourself a hip family-style dining experience!
