These rainy summer days need brightening up, a splash of colour knit for keeping warm with outdoor entertainment.

The ‘Alexis’ cotton throw by Sage & Clare, available from Wanderlust Wares is perfect for that colour pop.

£129

They say;

We just love it when a product captures our exact feels! And the Alexis Knit Blanket says it all, really, thanks to its ‘Whole Lotta Love’ typography.

It is playful and pretty in one, its retro-inspired print bringing all the good vibes. The fun is continued through bold Lilac and Scarlet accent colours, while fringe detail on all sides is another considered touch.

Presented in textural cotton jacquard, it also delivers on the practicality.

The tonal blended finished of this beautiful Etna planter by Ruut Home, available from Fy!, is stunning and would make a practical, stylish home for one of your indoor plants,

They say:

The simple design and unique patterns of our planters make them the perfect companion for your plants! Hand poured using Jesmonite, each plant pot comes with a matching saucer and drainage hole, meaning there’s even less chance of drowning your plants.

Each planter is finished by hand using a sealant, which helps to protect from stains, but also gives each pot a satin finish.

Prices from £22 depending on size

There’s a huge sale on at West Elm with big discounts.

We love this range of jade coloured mouth-blown glassware with reduced prices starting at £22.40

They say;

Drawing on classic forms from Chinese porcelain vases, our modern Jade Glass Vases are made with flecks of gold melded into the glass, so they’re beautifully light-catching. The vases perfectly support a bouquet for easy arranging and look equally appealing when empty.
