Back to my loves.


Had a corporate event for my alter ego tonight. Love coming home to my blog, no alterior motives, common interests and beautiful and inspirational things. 

When i buy my beach cottage, here is what it will look like. I'm not much of a beach girl, i have very pale skin.. Still i will sat back and enjoy the view (and my gorgeous interiors) every day. Lots of lovely prints, beautiful use of white and open windows that don't ever need to be closed. Perfection. xx


My gorgeous beach home photos from here, here and here.

    This sounds--and looks--perfect to me! Those blues in that last photo are simply divine. I know what you mean about that old alter ego. It's nice to come back to the blog and write, think, do whatever we love most!

    Oh my- what a perfect beach cottage! These pictures are just lovely and putting me in the mood for a relaxing summer day! I am like you- not much of a beach girl because of my pale skin as well- BUT that doesn't mean we can't relax in style! Just gorgeous :) XO

    Hah! I totally know what you mean about having a corporate alter ego. It's amazing how quickly the blogosphere can start to feel like a safe place, free of pretensions and free to be yourself. Lovely pictures, btw.

    Pale girls unite!! We can still enjoy the beach from under a fabulous umbrella or the porch of a gorgeous beach cottage like you've featured.

    Oh my gosh, can I come visit?! LOL. That beach house is exactly what I envisioned for my own ... a combination of bright whites and blues, bringing the ocean right into the home. Gorgeous pictures!

    It suits you.
    You need that view.
    ..and not to worry about your fair complexion, the coast is usually, peacefully fogged in at least until noon.

    Be well.

    Well I was always the 'white sheep' in my family so had to stay out of the sun as a child. But as an adult I love the sun more and more and of course constantly dream of the sea and a cottage close by. Lovely dreams.
