Cuppa Tea, Please!



I've loved tea for as long as I can remember.   Tea parties in my bay window with my kitty Sunshine were a favorite activity when I was little, mom used to make me chamomile before bed, and during a summer in London, I found a good, strong black tea  can easily take the place of coffee (and does wonders for a hangover!)  I've just always loved it, from the unique tastes, to the rituals that go along with it, it's something that's apart of me.  The history of it, and how other cultures make and use tea is unbelievably fascinating as well.

I also enjoy buying all things tea, and have several different tea pots, steepers, and other contraptions used to make it.  But what I've added most recently to my "want" list are some antique tea cups and saucers.  All different, types and styles, I need to get to some thrift stores and do some digging.   I'm not a collector, but if I ever turned into one, it would be of tea.

Life Right Now

Here are some shots that have either inspired me this week, or are describing my life (in a nutshell of course.)  It's that weird time of summer where I'm nostalgic to keep living the lake life and getting a tan, but there's also this creeping desire for autumn, which I am currently trying to suppress.

My latest fashion inspiration is Francois Hardy.  Her fresh faced, easy style is amazing.

Entertaining myself indoors with air conditioning and only the essentials.

  
I want to to go to thrift stores and flea markets!  And find vintage jewelry as great as Brigitte's.

I still dream about Kate's vintage leopard coat, first spotted a few years back.  Think I'll find anything as wonderful this fall?



I've been looking for a jumpsuit with a plunging neckline.  And this is exactly what I'm wanting!

Living off iced tea and other summer staples like tomatoes and watermelon.
