BOLD, BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

I recall soaking up the view of white sands contrasted by Pacific Blue. Near perfect, I thought, except that it didn’t quite have what New Zealand could offer – what was missing was the stunning, deep red of the Pohutukawa bloom.

That combination just does it for me – sandy white, ocean aqua and Pohutukawa red. When I’m tasked with thinking of favourite colours, or a happy place, that’s my winning trifecta. I’m not sure what colours rock your world, but as our gorgeous summer days continue, it’s fitting to think of bright and beautiful colour, and there’s a whole spectrum of it available in Sylvia Park Lifestyle stores.

I had fun with this one, sourcing product from keep-cups, to cushions, clothing, furniture, interior design pieces, and the quirky too. Those loving the cheery bean bags at NOOD may have to be a wee bit patient – the store promises more of this popular item will be back soon. There’s just so much colour on display – beige really doesn’t get much of a look in. Sometimes feasting the eyes on such cheery and bright things causes an involuntary smile, I found. And, I like that! Of course, smiles get wider when there are bargains to net and there are plenty of those. Happy shopping.
