Serene Dreams: Beach House Style

A good friend of my family recently purchased a condo on the beach for the family, and I can't help but be envious of it and the lifestyle they would lead there.  I think one of the reasons I'm so fascinated with beach life is due to the simplicity of the styling that's inherent to a beach house... in addition to the easy going nature of beach natives!

Above are some room inspiration photos for my future beach house (because I will need one someday) which also helps to influence a few outfitting options below courtesy of Polyvore:

This last outfit is not truly inspired by these photos, but the bright colors remind me of a beach sunset!

Happy Paris Day!  Wish I was there...

There are literally over 100 shirtless Parisian men strutting around Champ Elysees today... based on the lines witnessed outside the store today, it looks like they are here to stay!  By the way, how amazing are the photos with the Eiffel Tower in the background?!

Maxi Dreams

Last night, I lucked out and found a fantastic bargain at H&M... my very first maxi dress!  It's a jersey racerback in solid black.  I've been looking for just the right maxi dress for more than one spring season now, but could never find one that looked right on me.  I can't wait for this rain (ick) to stop (finally) so I can try it out!  Until then... I'll be dreaming about the many ways to outfit my new find.

DIY: Chain Bracelet Round 2!

From the multi-strand bracelet using varying chains, I moved right along to the one color, vintage look.  Once again:

I saw, I liked, I made...



Ta da!  Now you can flaunt it.
