Aye Calypso

After seeing these fab espadrilles on The Zhush this morning, I have only two questions.

Why can't it be summer again NOW and why doesn't Calypso St. Barth ship to the land of Oz :(

Elle Decor: June Issue

Nothing nicer than sitting down with a cuppa to find the latest issue of a beloved mag has arrived.  BTW, am I allowed to call a magazine beloved?

"Rooms that lift your spirits".  Don't you think that's lovely?

I'm off a gander and will report back with my favourites:)

I can't remember who first showed me this (was it you Tish?) but I'd like to replace my current notes, mail, menus etc holder with one like it.

A shutter of some sort is on the list of must-finds for my next op shop crawl.

Movie Review: Just Go With It

There's no other way to say it, I loved this movie.  It did exactly what I thought a Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler movie would do.  It made me laugh.  I was smiling all the time, chuckling quite a lot and was down right hysterically scraughing (half screaming half laughing) a couple of times.  When the Devlin double-identity is beginning to dawn on Brooklyn Decker's character by the pool, the events that swiftly followed were HILL-AIR-EE-US!  Snorting with laughter.

It was very predictable in the way these rom coms are supposed to be.  We knew exactly what was going to happen, it did and we were happy for them.  

A happy 4/5 from me.
