FINALLY, a decent summers day on the South Coast. I ran down the beach as fast as my legs would carry me, it felt good to feel the sand beneath my feet and inbetween my toes and the heat of the sun on my body. I always feel Relaxed and happy on the beach, everything about it makes me feel at peace. The sea, the sand, the fresh air, yes, the beach has a special place in my heart.

I’m loving this cobalt blue at the moment, and as I have blue eyes it seems to be working well with me as a bold colour. The gorgeous gold necklace is from Accesorize. I’m enjoying costume jewellery more and more, it’s inexpensive but can make a huge difference to an outfit. A simple top can be transformed, a well chosen piece of costume jewellery can turn a day time dress into something stunning for the evening.

On the South Coast we have some stunning locations. These photos were taken on Sandbanks Beach and in the background you can see the Purbeck Hills where I love to cycle.
