Hazy summer days: St Martin's Courtyard Presents

Now that both coursework and exams are finally over I have some time to relax and have been escaping to my floral (would it be anything but?) Cath Kidston tent in the garden for some reading time.
I am particularly taken with the delightful Issue 1 of St Martin's Courtyard Presents, the new bi-annual magazine from a new shopping destination in Covent Garden, London. The publication is free from St Martin's Courtyard shops and restaurants. I was immediately taken with it as soon as I saw the dreamy images of hazy summer days with pretty clothes, cake and hydrangeas- which are, of course, three very important things and make wonderful photographs here.
The magazine also has some interesting pieces such as a Q&A with wardrobe consultant Eliisa Makin, a guide to creating a contemporary floral table arrangement from The Covent Garden Academy of Flowers, and a scrummy looking recipe for mixed berry pavlova. There are also some pretty nice shops listed in the directory. All in all it has put me in the perfect mood for summer.
Many thanks to St Martin's Courtyard for sending me a copy of the magazine to enjoy and providing me with images 4 and 7.

Fantastic images.

I love your patterned tent too. Although when it comes to Cath Kidston I'm in the 'stars' camp! :) Can't get enough of the new ones against the blue background.
