How to Enjoy Eternal Summer

[ADV] All the summer staples you never knew you needed

Saturday, 27 Oct 2012

Instructions on how to enjoy the real sunshine state in style (sorry, Californians):

1. Recall long, slow days at the beach house.

2. Entertain with only natural products to fit your tropical lifestyle.

3. Hit the beach or the pool regularly for cool relief.

4. Take advantage of the night breeze by having dinner and drinks on the patio.

You need:

1. Look no further than Great Ocean Road Homewares, which has everything from handmade ceramic lamps and candles by a Malaccan potter (perfect for #4 above) to fair trade floor baskets, cushions, and bowls that support talented village women in Bangladesh (perfect for #2 above).

2. For jetting around in style, check out Great Ocean Road‘s signature authentic French market baskets. They’re a much-needed and fuss-free accessory for everyday tasks from carrying towels and swimwear to the pool to toting around everyday shopping. Flying to Bali? You need one of these – they even double as a stand-in handbag!
