The beat goes on...

So as the sun is still shining but we are forecast to lose it i thought i would focus more on the dream of being outdoors with friends having picnics and fun.
I don't think this would look wonderful or indeed flattering but i love how people think outside the box and create things like this. Perhaps not practical but fun!

I love fruit, all fruit bring it on! And with these covers no nasty little insects will try and nibble them on my behalf!

How cute is this! Don't you just hate it when there isn't anywhere flat to put down a glass, and it may just be me but i think i'd feel special and regal like having a spike just for my glass!

I saw these shoes and feel in love with them, they are vegan too (major plus point in my eyes) but i could never wear them as anything higher than a mm in height and i topple over!

There's something about this dress, maybe the fabric, i know i love the corsage but i find it alluring- and very cool for the summer weather.
(W Magazine feature on fashion 09)





I love the length of this dress, floaty and feminine and just gorgeous- plus wherever it is i love the surroundings!

This is a vegan outfit- i adore boyfriend style shirts and i love it teamed with these skinny jeans although not too convinced about the faded look but the sandals and sunglasses make it a stunner.

I'm loving the floral print on this dress and the gorgeous sleeves!

Again shoes by a vegan designer, still would love to dream of being able to pull these off but have hideous feet so best to keep my tootsies covered up.

A luscious vegan bag, i adore the shape and i can imagine i could get an awful lot of nothing in there!

This is a top by Stella McCartney and i have to say i don't quite see the hype it has online or in magazines- i imagine perhaps as a tunic it would like right on the right person but on me would look like a sack of spuds!

And now, you can't have a picnic with me without the following!



White chocolate jazzies- i'm salivating just looking at these!




Foamy mushrooms, surely these must count as one of your 5 a day- no, oh well?




Got to satisfy the sour note too!



As close to a animal that this veggie will ever eat!

You can't have a picnic without a lovely blanket and it may as well be a lovely looking one, this one caught my eye straight away!
(general picnicfun.com)



The versatility of tofu is endless, this is a yummy recipe that you can find at messyvegetariancook.com and would be perfect for an outdoor feast- healthy and yummy all rolled into one!



Although this little fella makes tofu feel like it has feelings eek!


Cuteness personified, i can only dream to be as creative as the makers of this wonderful person, although i think she needs a friend as looks a little lonely.

Because you can't have a picnic without a thermos, it doesn't have to be hot of course, personally i'd like iced peppermint tea- refreshing and crisp- i personally recommend teapigs- if you love tea you'll love teapigs selection of unusual blends!
(thermos from generalpicnicfun.com)




For the impromptu picnic, this gorgeous little eco kit has won my heart!
(kitchencritic.com)


The bumble bee means so much to me- did you know that nature designed it to bot be able to fly but it said it wanted to fly and it does, all things possible perhaps?
(chicvegan.com)


Can you believe this is all edible! Now that is a picnic basket i would love to have!
(thecakechic.com)


Cakes in miniature- all the pleasure, less of the guilt and fun for friends to share and nibble whilst chatting and letting the clouds pass them by- bliss.
(simplydeliciouscakes.com)


And just in case you feel the need to opt for healthier looking cakes so as to appease the guilt these watermelon cupcakes are just for you. I can imagine how refreshing they must be, in fact i'm starting to drool over these again!

I hope you are all having the best start to June.

Sunshine lollipops and ...


What a glorious day, it's one of those blue skies, sun out days that you dream could happen but rarely ever does, but indeed here it is!



Days like this have so many potentials for my dreams so i shall write but a few as hopefully the gorgeous days will last and so my dreams can live out on the blog.



Days like this make me want to wander around a meadow, in a beautiful floaty dress, a vintage picnic basket and a man by my side.

Days like this make me want to open my window so wide that all my windchimes sing in unison and no insects come in!


(from writenowisgood.typepad.com)




Days like this make me wish that ice cream sundaes in waffle cones had zero calories and didn't dribble down your fingers in the attempt to beat the sun in order to eat them.






Days like this make me want to go outside and hear the birds singing.

Hope your sun is shining on you and that you can fulfill some of your dreams today, no matter how big or small.

Tea parties

Currently i am dreaming of tea parties in the sunshine with the very best of friends.
(even though i don't drink tea!)

Cupcakes and tissue paper to awaken the senses.



Badges of joy to lift even the darkest of moods.


(all courtesy of notonthehighstreet.com and if i won the lottery i'd buy nearly all the site)

I also dream of the day when i can wear the following gorgeous items from asos.com, now if only my bank manager granted special wishes for fashion buys!

Dream machine

I have never been very good at starting things from scratch- in fact i am one of those people who will read a book from the back so that i can imagine the beginning from the end! But seeing that i don't quite have a time machine all figured out this shall have to be my rather awkward new start to this journey.

I am no-one of excitement, of wondrous words nor amazing thoughts- i am 25,a graduate, a vegetarian, a girl with magpie eyes who loves the sparkles in life but who has her problems. Problems though are something i don't wish to dwell on, for here i want to let my dreams live-i want them to at least come alive in screen if the can't in reality.

I truly believe that random acts of kindness make the world go round and sometimes i wonder if i was born into the wrong era as i sometimes long for the decades past and what seemed to be life but not as we know it.

So welcome to my world, to my dreams- you may see fashion, you will see my cats, you will be invaded by sparkles and i hope you can see how important it is to always have dreams and keep the sparkle in your life.
