Yesterday was such a warm day, i just cannot wait for summer to hit. Lovely cocktails, longer days and back to the beach. On countdown.

Afternoon thoughts...

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Darling spring like spaces, teamed up with stylish fashion this afternoon.

Red trim - a winner!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I tend to never be drawn to red in interiors. I a bit the same with clothing as well, like it on others, just not for me. I think it's to do with me having blonde hair or something silly like that. I did however adore the red in this delightful outdoor space. The red trim on seating look amazing, especially teamed up with the black, high gloss cane. There is still hope for me and red to develop a strong, long term relationship!
