sweet pea pastels ...

Hello all,

Happy Weekend. I hope you are all enjoying a little Sunday afternoon rest.

Over the past seven days it seems everywhere I turn I am reminded that Spring is not so far away, in fashion magazines, store windows, interior trends and even in food styling blogs pastel shades have taken over. These sugary sweet hues create a whimsical and airy nod towards spring, light and bright it seems that anything to do with design is laced in these delicious colours. You may think of pastel shades and think of achingly girlie styling and design however I have pulled some of my favourite images from the last seven days which show pastel shades in a fresh, in some cases fantastically simple and modernised way.

Take a look.

hope you enjoyed.

go green ...

Hello all,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend! It seems to have flown by, so before it's completely over I thought I'd  post a little happy weekend blog, focusing on the lovely, refreshing and in my opinion calming colour that is green. There is something about this colour which makes any interior adorned with green wall coverings or accessories look crisp, contemporary and effortlessly cool.  

Here are some of my favourite images which all focus upon this cool colour.

Happy Weekend ...

Hello all,

So my first and only day of this week comes tomorrow. With this I am going to get working on some new ideas, I've been scribbling away in my ever present notebook and have tonnes of things which I want to get started on. Feeling very inspired and motivated after reading my lovely new design books which I was lucky enough to get for Christmas.

I wish you all a happy, productive and inspiring weekend!

winter whites ...

Hello all,

No matter what the season, white can always be captured beautifully for many a theme. Whether used to inspire interiors, gift wrapping, weddings or fashion it always manages to catch my eye and imagination.

Below are some of my favourite finds, all using white and tonal hues. Delicate, atmospheric and whimsical. Truly beautiful imagery.

Happy Birthday blog ...

A Whistle and a Dream is two years old today.

I still love collecting beautiful imagery to post on here and hopefully inspire as many readers as possible with my finds. Although I have not been as frequent with my posting as I would have liked recently, it is a new year and with this comes my strict posting regime. Be warned people. I am back, with a daily dose of eye candy.

So happy new year to you all, and heres to another year of AWAAD
