Bike Loving

Right before it got really chilly last fall, Lari and I have started biking to daycare and work in the mornings. She absolutely loves it and it’s sort of a way for me to get the bare minimum of exercise in, since apparently I decided the gym was the very devil. So naturally we can’t wait for spring to truly kick in again so we can take the bike out and enjoy our morning and afternoon rides.

Below’s a little bike inspired collage. I love the pretty bike baskets and would love to get a super cute one for ours. I found this green one from the Moma store but I also love the big white straw ones. Of course a fun cropped jean is ever practical on a bike, along with a little bike planter that would personalize it even more. And of course a sweater for those chilly spring mornings.

Summer Essentials: Hammamas Clever Towels

I discovered these while I was in Slovenia (available here) and I honestly can’t imagine a more versatile product. The Hammamas towels are based on Turkish bath towels, they’re hand weaved, made of pure cotton and can be used for pretty much anything. They absorb water just as a normal towel but they dry a lot quicker. Not to mention they can easily pass as a snuggly blanket or a stylish sarong (if you posses the skill to tie it, which I unfortunately don’t).

They come in a wide array of colors and patterns so you’ll easily find the one that’s perfect for you. I chose this grape (purple) one and the orange one from the surf range but I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on the bohemian ones either. They could double as super cool throws for those chilly nights in front of the TV or I could eventually just learn how to tie it into a dress and go all boho chic on you

Prices start at £22 and up & if you’re in the UK you get free shipping on all orders over £50.

P.S. Lara, Vid and Vogue love them too and that’s always good enough for me.
