Sometimes I just need a little bit of eye candy to be inspired.  I love these great ideas to freshen up my surroundings.  It gives me a such sense of relaxation when I can be creative.  Here are some simple ways to add beauty and style to your life.

This post by Melissa is so cool.  It gives you ideas for dressing up your living spaces with things like belts and scarves!  I love that it can be changed seasonally and is something that you already have on hand.

Look no further than you own closet to find the perfect spring accessories for your home!

 

And here Teresa shows us how to fancy up our spaces from our summer gardens.  If I’m being really honest, I could never get away with all that glass down where my little guys can grab it.  But this would be fabulous in my office!

Enjoy your garden even more by bringing your flowers inside.  It doesn’t take much just a few flowers, some type of vessel and perhaps something old or vintage.  Yes, you can do it; if I can you can.

Oh yes.  Yes, this is very good.  Dresses and shoes.  I love me some dresses and shoes.  Syden’s article about effortless summer looks has some really beautiful ideas with   head-to-toe recommendations for great summer looks.

Keep it simple and comfortable, much like our picks for the Airplane Fashion article. Dresses are absolutely a huge staple piece in the summer – they’re quick to slide on and there are so many different materials and styles to choose from. There’s The Limited Sweetheart Dot Strapless Dress ($63, the limited.com). It’s bit on the dressy side, so don this at a great outdoor BBQ.

And now I must go shopping!  Don’t forget to take a minute and freshen up your surroundings this summer.  Do something just to love yourself, ok?
