spring scarf style

Spring is the perfect time of year for scarves.

Whether the scarf is long, short, silk, knit, floral, striped, vintage, or new, you can wear one to add a dash of romance to almost any outfit.

Wrap a scarf around your neck, tie one on your purse strap, or wear one on your head to protect your hair from the wind.

Scarves are perennially chic.

I'm especially fond of floral print scarves for spring. Soft colors and sweet flowers make me smile.

I also love the idea of making toss pillows with vintage silk scarves.

The currently trendy romper pairs very well with the ever-fabulous look of a scarf.

Or wear a long scarf with shorts or a mini dress for long-short contrast.

Let the wind blow and the rain fall!

A spring scarf will go
with the flow.

sea urchin designs

I live in a beach town, where many people decorate their homes with such seaside motifs as lighthouses, driftwood, and boating accessories. I prefer more subtle beach-inspired touches, such as a small bowl filled with white pebbles I have gathered on walks, displayed in my bathroom.

The design of the sea urchin shell appeals to me for its sculptural simplicity. The nubby texture and bowl-like form seems soft, despite its true nature, being a hard outer covering meant to protect the vulnerable insides of this elusive sea creature.
