A beach tent

I didn’t know I needed this, but now it’s very clear that I do. A beach tent from Australian company Hollie & Harrie.

Maybe I can have one shipped to the condo in Hawaii so we have it for vacation in two weeks. I’m feeling very desperate for it, can you tell? It seems so perfect for having a little one at the beach.

    I love this!
    It looks fairly easy to replicate…don’t you think? maybe not for airport travel but at home?

  2. Kristina said on July 21, 2011

    Totally, but the FRAME. How does one make a collapsable frame for travel to and from the beach? That’s the big question.

  3. Heidi said on July 21, 2011

    Wow! Brilliant! And now I need one too.

    This is probably the only way I could ever take a beach vacation—I’m a ghostly-pale redhead who burns upon stepping outside. What a great find!

    oh dear.
    i love how i can go from never even hearing of something to absolutely neeeeeeding it – all in about 25 seconds.
    this is perfection. i need it.

    Those tents are darling!

    These are so pretty and simple for the beach. I love the yellow one! The past two weeks the beach has been covered with large pop-up tents that look hard to assemble and not nearly as pretty!

    ah. been looking for good shading devices for the babe. none are so attractive as this…….!

    wait. you’re going to be in hawaii in two weeks? we’re going to be in hawaii in two weeks!

    i’ve been eyeing that tent for about a month, but we simply do not go to the beach enough (or ever) to justify it.

    LOVE.

    now I just need to move back to FL to justify it. ;)

    Love these! Definitely a necessity!

    So very jealous of you West Coast-ers that Hawaii is relatively close!

  15. Jasmin said on July 26, 2011

    I am Australian… & spent a lot of time at the beach growing up. We had one of these shades. They’re fabulous!

    that looks so incredibly dreamy. i don’t think i could ever muster the energy to leave from under it. i’m getting sudden pangs to order one immediately!! thanks so much for sharing.
