A Nautical Theme

Good morning everyone!

I had a lovely email from a fellow etsy and made it seller a few days ago. It was from Beck of Bexpert/Empressionista. She has come up with some gorgeous nautical/maritime themed prints using the International Code Flags.

So this inspired me to put together a nautical themed blog post. I love the nautical look so clean, fresh and a bit preppy and I love nothing more than spending the day or even the week on a boat. Big or small, doesn't bother me, I just love exploring all the little inlets around Sydney and the Hawksbury.

We used to hire a house boat every year with friends and just putter around Cottage Point, Smiths Creek, Refuge Beach and Brooklyn. Having little ankle bitters around has put a hold to our house boat weekends but I'm sure we'll pick them up again when the kids are old enough not to go 'man over board'.

Don't you just love Beck's prints. I think they would look great in a cluster on the wall with the initial of each family member on each print. Or they would look great in a kid's nautical themed bedroom too. Oh and that's my yachting outfit I put together using Polyvore. You like???

You can visit Beck's Etsy shop and Made it shops and check out her other prints, they are all very cool.

Have a great day everyone,

Modern Paper Dolls

Did you love playing with paper dolls when you were a child? Dressing the little paper girl in different outfit combinations?

If you're like me and your answer is YES then.. Have you been to Polyvore?

I discovered it last year and had fun playing around with it and then had forgotten all about it. I remembered the site yesterday for some reason so I thought I would create my 'outfit for today' and show you!

This outfit is very much my style, I wish I could click my fingers like 'I dream of Jeannie' and be dressed and ready in this outfit for today. See it's complete with matching umbrella as it's currently raining outside.

You can actually buy each and every item on Polyvore and make your outfit dreams a reality. Unfortunately a simple outfit like this would set you back a thousand or two but that's the fun of Polyvore.

If you have a spare minute today why don't you loose yourself in Polyvore, I'd love to see your dream outfit!

Have a great day,
