Printable Seashell Coloring Pages, Not Just for Kids

You're never too old to color, are you? Well, you might think we're crazy, but we've actually had a party with our adult lady friends, where we brought out coloring books and crayons as a way to interact. We had a blast! Lots of giggling went on, as well as childish fun. 

We don't have any kids around the house anymore; however we still thought it would be fun to share these seashell coloring pages with you today. They would be great for the kids when they are home sick, on vacation or on a rainy weekend.  What better way to share your love of seashells with young people?

{Beach Fashion} Chanel's Must-Have Seashell Clutches for 2012

We promised you a peek at Chanel's 2012 Spring/Summer seashell inspired bags in yesterday's article, so here you go! (by the way, what did you think of the seaside inspired photo shoot in France?)  We loved the black and white shots celebrating Chanel's newest collection.

Wow, is the first word that came to mind when we saw these sea shell clutches. 

{Beach Fashion} Chanel's Seaside Spring

The timeless Parisian fashion house, Chanel, has turned Spring into a water wonderland with the help of the infamous, Karl Lagerfeld. Its Spring/Summer 2012 campaign features models, Joan Smalls and Saskia de Brauw, who were photographed by the French label’s creative director, Karl Lagerfeld.

 The pair of models posed at the Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc, in Cap d'Antibes, France, and in the nearby Mediterranean waters. The pair is photographed while engaging in sporting activities, while looking effortlessly chic (of course) in airy dresses and signature jackets.

Beach Walk - Part Two, Lighthouse on a Farm Estate

As promised, we're heading back to Leadbetter Farms today for the rest of the tour. (Part 1 - Beach Walk)  So after a bit of research, we learned that the private lighthouse, which can be seen for miles away, actually houses a water tower and has a few stories of living space within.  The estate is situated on 600 acres and the lighthouse stretches 140 feet into the air.

We encourage you to visit the links at the bottom of the article for photos of the interiors of the buildings. They are amazing, whimsical and the most unique we've ever seen.

Nautical Details Found on a Beach Walk {Part 1}

As promised the other day, once we discovered our seashells, we grabbed the camera and walked along one of the beach paths which winds through the dunes.  The dried plumes against the blue skies made for a lovely site. There is a certain beauty this time of year, especially when there is a bit of a breeze to make them sway.
