short and sweet

Shorts are something that I have not worn in years--and I do mean years!--but I'm inspired to try wearing them again. Now that I'm living in a warm climate, I'm realizing that my wardrobe needs are changing, which means finding new ways to look and feel cool. So I've been searching for inspiration, and finding lots of cute ways to wear shorts. I'm loving shorts with blouses, scarves, tanks, belts, jackets, long necklaces, and pretty embellishments. Short and sweet is the look I'm going for.

take me away...

When I saw the Spartan Daybed from Restoration Hardware (top image), I swooned--I mean, seriously, almost felt dizzy with oh-my-god-I-want-that feelings.

Just picture yourself curled up inside that curvaceous form, nestling in pillows, shaded just enough from the glare of the sun, soothed by the sound of waves lapping along the shore. And, for evening, imagine sitting by the fire table, with candles all around, in their perfect bronze lanterns, while you sip a glass of sangria.

Sounds good to me! A reminder that summer will arrive...soon, soon...

(just allow me this daydream, if only for a moment!)
