{Pottery Barn summer 2010 collection}

The summer collections are coming out thick and fast and I'm having a hard time not getting excited about every-single-one of them! Pottery Barn's spring collection (post here) was a hit and their high summer collection is just as strong. There's hurricane lamps aplenty and here are my favourites, all of which are perfect for adding a little seaside romantic charm to your patio or balcony. My top tip for decorating with lamps like these is to mix up different styles, colours and sizes, this way you'll end up with an eclectic and relaxed style.

I don't you about you, but that first image has me itching to book a vacation...who's with me?!

{Lexington Company summer 2010 collection}

Oh, boy! Swoon alert! From the looks of today's stunning weather spring is here to stay folks, so there couldn't have been a better time for these stunning images of the latest collection from Lexington Company to land in my inbox.

Centered around a beach tent theme, the collection hosts a vibrant party of coastal colours in red, yellow and olive, mixed with the brand's classic stripes in blue and white. The company has always had a strong brand identity, but this collection is one of their most relaxed for many years. I'm loving the blue and white striped tablecloth, which I think I'll treat myself to when the summer collection launches online.
