Styling The Seasons: August
I can’t believe it’s the last day of August already and that also means I’ve done another whole year of Styling the Seasons! It seems that even marking each month by styling and capturing images, doesn’t slow the months down at all.

Why hello all you out there! I’m hoping it feels a bit more Summery wherever you are in the world, but the UK definitely kissed the sunshine goodbye on Friday, just in time for a weekend of rainy planned BBQs. Us Brits press on in all weather’s, fighting against the adverse conditions to get those grilled…

I had hoped to get this styling the seasons post shot before I went away on holiday but that was beyond optimistic to put it mildly! Having said that it all worked out quite well as my holiday served as the inspiration for my styling this month. I made the most of the good light…

Hello! Right about now I’ll be boarding a plane to get my melt on in Egypt, land of the Pharaohs but I thought I’d bid you bye bye with this DIY Summer bag tutorial. It’s tucked away in the suitcase as we speak. My last venture into batik was way back in secondary school art,…

Wow! I was just thinking I first started ‘Something for your screen’ freebies nearly two years ago! I remember sketching out some patterns while I was on holiday in Turkey and working them up on my laptop on the plane ride home! Perhaps when we two years exactly I’ll have to do some kind of…

And finally my Styling The Seasons post is up for June! June is technically the first month of Summer and even though the British weather doesn’t always oblige it still makes me think of strawberry picking and enjoying maximum sun hours along with that end of exam feeling in my younger days. I’ve really enjoyed spending…

There’s nothing quite like Summer to get me in the mood for fruit! I’m sure it tastes 99% better in the sun but perhaps that’s just down to the cravings. Here’s a little fruity dessert idea that I adapted from this Deliciously Ella recipe. I love this topping so so much and it makes this treat…

It’s time for some Friday freebies to draw the working week to a close. It’s been such lovely weather here after the last few weeks that I’ve taken my camera out and about a bit more. I’m really enjoying capturing all the plant life nearby. It seemed silly not to make them into desktop wallpapers for…

Where did that week go? And why do I ask myself that question most weeks? I guess I just better get used to it. Well because it’s Friday and every one loves a freebie, here’s this month’s desktop TLC with a summery theme, of course. We really have been enjoying such nice weather! Let’s hope…

You’ll probably never see me without nail polish on my finger nails but usually I’m not fussed about my toes. However, this is such an easy way to make your feet look pretty (and I’m no big fan of my feet…or feet in general for that matter) that it begs a try. People will marvel…

Been trying to get round to posting this for ages…preferably before the summer was up! Here’s a very straightforward DIY invite where most of the work has already been done for you, which means they honestly don’t take very long at all. Be advised; they are not edible. Those sprinkles may look tasty but they…

Um, I’m wondering when I’ll wake up from this extended dream of a heat wave! I’m 100% loving that bare legs and sandals are on the menu everyday. Ok so the tubes are a glorified sweat fest and bed time leaves me groaning for an electric fan and wondering if sleeping outside on concrete is…

A few weeks ago, I felt particularly compelled to illustrate a flamingo in my lunch break. Pretty random huh?! Perhaps I was getting into the spirit of summer, who knows?! You can download this image as your desktop wallpaper (13″ or 15″) right here. Brighten up your background with this jolly fellow.
