A Colorful Summer

Happy Tuesday, Friends! I love seeing all of the beautiful, bright colors of summer and it seems like we’re seeing all of them coming out this season! So, here are some of my favorite finds in this year’s summer colors.

Pink

Dress yourself up in all of the pretty shades of pink. From this gorgeous nap dress to this sleeveless dress to this tropical print dress, there are so many pink options to choose from. I also love this cotton candy colored open weave pullover which is perfect to wear out and about or on a beach day.

This floral tablecloth is another good pink find as well, and this set of pink beach club striped sheets would really help brighten up a bedroom.

Red & Orange

Pink’s sister color, Red, is also a great color for this summer. This red tropical print maxi dress is so pretty and the print also plays with shades of pink, green, and yellow. And this striped knit tunic is so soft and a great option for those cool summer days.

Coral is always a great summer color, especially for those trips to the beach, and I’m loving this coral summer dress. And, if you’re looking to add pops of color to your home, the book “St. Tropaz Soleil” by Simon Liberati has a bright and gorgeous orange cover and would be a great addition to your coffee table.

Yellow

What would summer be without yellow? Brighten up your table with this sunflower gingham dining bench which can be used both indoor and outdoor. And take a bit of yellow to the beach with you by grabbing this sunflower gingham sling chair.

If you’re looking to wear your yellow this summer, you can’t go wrong with this adorable lemon meringue mini dress!

Green

This green zinnia top would look great tucked into your favorite pair of jeans, or this green and pink floral print maxi dress would be a comfy, cute summer option.

And you can add accents of green to your home with these green and blue pillowcases in either a pretty floral print, a fun dotted pattern, or both!

Blue

I absolutely love these blue rattan earrings that would dress up any outfit you choose to wear them with. And this sky blue dress has such a classic look to it, you could wear it to a tea party or a family get together. This blue floral printed tory burch swimsuit has pretty accents of red and yellow, and is another favorite find of mine.

Add shades of blue to your home with this gorgeous blue linen console or this blue dalmatian print x bench. And this photo, “Bounce” by SJ Johnson, with its calming bluish teal background and pops of pink, would add a bit of character to the wall you placed it on.

White & Naturals

White will help to keep you cool this summer, especially if you’re wearing this puff sleeved top or this classic linen button down. And for a clean, neutral feel in your home, add this white nightstand to your bedroom or this white, blue-lined scalloped mirror to your bathroom.

And anything rattan, wicker, or rush is great to add to encourage a more down-to-earth vibe. So snag these rush hand woven dining chairs for your kitchen or dining room. When it comes to your outfit, this cute straw tote handbag would look great with any summer colors you wear!

This summer is all about being playful with the wide array of colors we have to choose from our rainbow. So have fun, stand out, and enjoy playing around with your wardrobe and adding pops of color to brighten up your home!

Red, White, and Blue

Happy Tuesday, Friends! We’re so excited to celebrate the Fourth of July this weekend and I’ve had so much fun gathering a list of all things red, white, and blue! To help you prepare for the upcoming fun and festivities, here are a few of my favorite items.

Red

This off-the-shoulder floral printed dress is probably my favorite find and it’s definitely on my shopping list. It’s a beautiful dress to wear to a party or celebration, and I hope to buy it and wear it while on vacation in Italy one day. I also love this gingham smocked-bodice dress which is perfect for a Fourth of July picnic in the park.

Snag this pretty eyelet ruffle strap tank top to wear with a pair of white shorts or blue jeans for a more relaxed look. And, a red and white striped beach towel is a great item to take with you to the beach or pool along with this pretty blue beach chair.

White

This light and airy white long-sleeve top with red and blue stripes has all of the freedom vibes. But, if you’re wanting a more classic look, this cotton dress or this smocked dress are perfect for those cocktail parties you might be attending this weekend.

This adorable ruffle-strap button-up tank top would pair well with jean shorts. And I love this half-zip pullover which would be great to wear out on the lake.

Blue

If you’re going swimming on the Fourth and in need of a new suit, this bow-tie one-shoulder one-piece or this tie shoulder stripe swimsuit are both super cute options! And a blue gingham tiered midi dress or sea navy, embroidered gingham top are also festive and fun additions to your weekend wardrobe!

Dress up your home for the fourth by adding some blue accessories, like a blue fringe pillow or a lake striped pillow case. And this set of wicker nesting tables are so gorgeous! Decorate them by adding a pretty blue and white round tray that’s laid out with some of your favorite things.

Grab a Yeti wine rambler and a blue gingham cooler to take with you when you and your family go to watch the fireworks and you’re all set to have a super fun and fabulous Fourth of July weekend!

Last, but definitely not least, these heeled raffia sandals would dress up any outfit you plan on wearing and they’re absolutely adorable!

We all have so many reasons to celebrate this weekend, and I’m really looking forward to spending it with my family and loved ones. I hope you, too, have a fun-filled Fourth of July!

Quick Ship Items From Serena and Lily - Friday Favorites - Margaret of York.jpg

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

Happy Friday, Friends!

The pandemic has changed many things for us these days. Unfortunately, it seems that one of the things it’s changed is the ability to get furniture and items for your home in a timely manner. You end up playing The Waiting Game while your purchases take months to finally make their way to you, and that can be an issue when you’re ready to get your home updated and in order. For those of you wanting to find furniture that you can get as soon as possible, I’ve gathered a list of quick ship items from Serena and Lily to share with you. And the best part? All of these will ship within 1-4 weeks!

Living Room

I love quick ship cushion options when it comes to couches and chairs. This Mattituck Armchair, Costa Pinstripe Sofa, and Pacifica Loveseat in driftwood all ship out within 2-4 weeks. Not to mention, the blue pinstripe sofa would be a fun, coastal-like addition to your sunroom and the driftwood loveseat would look perfect on your patio.

This Market Side Table has a fun, white top that comes off so you can store items inside! Or snag this Blake Side Table in natural, fog, or indigo, and add the matching Blake Raffia-wrapped Console along with it which can fit two stools underneath.

I love the beautiful mix of materials on this Cabot Square Coffee Table which would look good with any living room design, or this Driftway Coffee Table in coastal blue would add a calm, cool vibe to your room. This Driftway Console Table in chalk or a Beach House Entry Table would add extra table space for showcasing some of your favorite items. I’m also loving this Bar Island Partners Desk which is such a great find because there’s enough room for two people to work side-by-side.

And, of course, my FAVORITE super versatile South Seas Bar Cart can be on its way to you in 2-4 weeks as well!

Dining Room

The legs on this Reese Dining Table are so beautiful and get me every time, and it’s an absolutely gorgeous table to see in person. It would be a beautiful addition to any dining space. But if rectangular dining isn’t quite your style or doesn’t fit your space, the Downing Dining Table and the Beach House Breakfast Table are pretty, round tables that would also make good dining options.

The Tucker Counter Stool in midnight and the Tucker Dining Chair in fog or midnight are great quick ship options for your beach house and they’re easy to wipe down and clean.

Bedroom

Need a new bed frame for your bedroom? With its gorgeous wicker frame, this Del Rey Bed is to die for and there’s no footboard to worry about getting in the way of long legs. The Whitaker Four Poster Bed in king-size is available for quick shipping as well as the Costa Bed. The Coast Bed would also be a great alternative to the Balboa Bed which is backordered until December.

If you need a new dresser, the Driftway Wide Dresser in chalk, the white Pierson Dresser in wide or tall, and the Balboa Dresser are all great quick shipping options.

Beach Must-Haves

Happy unofficial summer! The sunny season is officially here and there’s no better way to spend it than soaking up the sun’s rays on a beautiful beach somewhere. So make sure to prep for that much-needed vacation by gathering all of your beach must-haves. It can be overwhelming to remember everything you need so I’ve rounded up all of my favorite beach essentials.
I love having so many options when shopping for the perfect folding beach chair. One of my favorites is this cabana chair bundle. Not only does it come with its own pillow, but you can choose from over 100 different patterned fabrics when designing your chair and pillow pair. Or you can grab this teak beach chair in a classic white or pretty gingham coastal blue. I also love this striped chair that would be perfect for the beach or for using at any outdoor event.

Don’t forget to grab an umbrella for those moments when you need a break from the sun! This is definitely a beach must-have. You can pair this tide stripe umbrella or this white umbrella with their matching teak beach chairs. I also love this scalloped umbrella with contrasting piping. Or a striped navy blue or a bold navy blue umbrella would be a good addition to your beach trip.

And you will definitely need a really good beach towel. Pack these blue cabana striped beach towels in your beach bag. These Turkish beach towels come in a variety of different colors and are quick-drying. Last year I used these monogramed Turkish towels on my girls trip to Palm Beach. I’m also partial to this vintage stripe towel and this Riveria scalloped towel.

Bring a quilted beach house blanket along so you have a place to comfortably relax on the sand. And for those moments when you need a refreshment or two, use this pinstripe cooler or this insulated wine tote to keep your drinks cold and a reusable snack bag to store your smaller food items.

A good beach bag can make or break a successful beach day and is always top of my list of things to pack for my beach must-haves. I love this waterproof tote for its size and how easy it is to wipe clean. This straw tote with striped handles is so cute and I love the colors of this oversized tote. Then I use these clear travel pouches to keep my smaller items all corraled together. They can easily go from your purse to your beach bag. To protect my skin, I use Supergoop’s Unseen Sunscreen and a face covering like this sunhat. Weezie just debuted their tote that perfectly fits their straw hat and I’m excited to test it out this year.

I’ve received a few new swimwear items to try out this summer. There’s this adorable two-piece skirt swim set and this classic wrap one-piece that I plan on pairing with this beautiful beach sarong. You can find more of my vacation picks over on my Shop page.

I’m so happy it’s finally summer and I can’t wait to enjoy some of my own summer days relaxing on the beach with my family. The last beach must-have I’ll be making sure to bring with me is a good book to enjoy, so don’t forget yours!

Friday Favorites | Home Essentials

 

Friday Favorites - Margaret of York (6.18.21).jpg

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

It’s another beautiful Friday and I’ve spent my week working on a gorgeous install. I love being inspired while creating with my favorite things – soft shades of coastal blues and textured naturals in raffia and wicker! When working on my own living space or someone else’s, it’s so important to keep home essentials in mind because they’re the sugar and spice that give a home its personality. For this Friday’s Favorites, I’ll share some of my fun finds to inspire your own creative home design.

This Friday’s top find is this 7-piece blush dining set. This shade of pink is just lovely and the style has such a classy feel to it. If you’re wanting a smaller option for indoor or outdoor dining, a marble top bistro-style table would be the perfect addition, and you can pair it with these woven rattan dining chairs in sage or grey.

I am also loving this bright, yellow-striped sofa which has a cool, retro look to it, and it’s perfect for inside or outdoors. A white sofa would be a good option if you’re wanting more subtle seating and grab a patterned ottoman or two to add a little extra fun to your arrangement.

When it comes to lighting, I’m drawn to any option that has a raffia or wicker shade. Whether it’s a floor lamp or a table lamp, a natural shade adds such beautiful texture to your living space. Pendant lights, like this modern version of a candlestick lantern, are also great additions to help elevate and brighten a room!

I especially love adding light blue highlights to my living spaces. Whether it’s the simplicity of a pair of blue gingham and striped towels to hang in the kitchen, a Beautiful book to help decorate the coffee or end table, or a coastal blue wave duvet cover to dress up the bedroom, shades of blue help to encourage some much-needed calm around the house.

One of my other favorite home essentials is a wicker bar cart or rattan bar table because they’re so versatile and can be used in any part of your home. Store your bar cart with your favorite wine and drinking glasses or decorate it with a candle and a vase full of flowers to give it character. I also love placing a beautiful mirror above my bar cart to fill an empty wall and build on the space.

When deciding what essentials to use in your home, pick the items you feel drawn to most and the ones you know will add a little bit of charm to your home. And, if you need more inspiration to help you find the right essentials to fit your home, take a look at some of my favorite Serena and Lily finds, my Summer Home Refresh ideas, and the items I have in my own Living Room.

My Living Room Round Up

 

IMG_6194.JPG

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

When you have a large family, creating a living room space that is livable and functional for everyone is a must and it’s possible to do so in a beautiful way. When I design, I’m always keeping in mind family-friendly furniture that is durable, easy to clean and wipe down, and able to be dressed up with pretty little details. So, I want to share with you my living room round-up to help you find the perfect fit for your own family’s living space.

When it comes to furniture, using this Perennials basketweave fabric is a necessity. It’s my go-to fabric for my furniture, and I’ve used it for my couch’s slipcover as well as my loveseat. It’s perfect to use in your living room because it’s high quality that is resistant to mold, mildew, and stains, and it has a great texture that has a casually luxurious look. I’ve also dressed up our couches with various decorative pillows in soft shades of green and blue since it’s a must to play around with patterned pillows.

This abalone rug is currently in my living room as well, and I love it because it’s easy to keep clean by washing it in the washing machine. On my rug, I’ve placed this family-friendly outdoor coffee table which is beautiful and has a timeless character with its wicker frame, and, since it’s an outdoor coffee table, it’s very durable and easy to wipe down and clean. Above my coffee table, I’ve added this open-weave pendant which adds such beautiful textured lighting to my living room.

I use this round rattan-wrapped accent table as an end table, and it’s one of my favorite living room accessories because it fits easily just about anywhere and it has such a fun and clean design. I love redecorating it often and changing up the items I choose to display on its shelves. You can decorate your coffee table or end table simply with beautiful glass beads, a round tray, ginger jars, a candle, a table lamp, and a gorgeous stack of coffee table books.

Coffee table books are full of inspiration, great resources, and always pretty to display! I personally love using books in shades of coastal blues, and a couple I keep on my coffee table include Veranda: The Art of Outdoor Living, Coastal Blues: Mrs. Howard’s Guide to Decorating with the Colors of the Sea and Sky, and More Beautiful.

You can also use any of these pretty details to decorate your wall or bookshelves as well as adding your favorite photos in these gorgeous scalloped frames and organizing items you’d rather keep hidden in these beach house storage baskets. And, don’t forget to hang up all kinds of living room art to spice up those bare walls.

It’s important to create a home the whole family can enjoy and it’s always possible to do so in a beautiful and functional way. If you need more inspiration on how to design your living room, check out my Summer Home Refresh ideas and read about How to Style your Bookshelf.

Friday Favorites | Summer Fashion Finds

 

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

Happy Friday! I feel like summer is bringing with it so many fun fashion trends, and I’ve gathered some of my favorite finds to inspire your shopping spree! This summer we’re wearing whites and ruffles and dressing it up with big hats and sunglasses while enjoying the upcoming summer months.

Starting with dresses, if you’re wanting color, flaunt a boho-style printed maxi dress or this pretty pink floral maxi dress. So many dresses this summer are coming with ruffles like this basic blue dress, and I especially love the ruffles on this lavender dress – it’s sweet and romantic, and perfect for a summer date. Wear any of these dresses with these white scalloped espadrilles or white sandals to keep it clean and classic.

Eyeleted clothing is also in this season and there are so many pretty options in white to choose from. I have this white eyelet maxi dress and I love it! You can also snag this white eyelet mini dress or this eyelet top and dress up your white with patterned sandals, like these fun mustard gingham slides. You can also accessorize any of your outfits with a natural, woven raffia tote or bag and a pair of gold hoop earrings.

If you’re heading to the pool or the beach, add ruffles to your swimwear with a fun plaid french bikini set and, of course, wear a big sun hat and tortoise sunglasses on those hot summer days. I also think this seychelles tunic is perfect for enjoying a cocktail (or two) while relaxing on the beach, and if you need a good book to read while you sit in the sand, check out my Top Ten Summer Beach Reads!

Friday Favorites | Summer Home Refresh

 

Friday Favorites - Summer Home Refresh - MOY.jpg

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

Happy Friday and happy June! We’re so ready for summer and if you’re wanting to refresh your home to liven up your space for the upcoming summer months, I’ll be sharing with you this Friday’s Favorites to help inspire your home refresh ideas.

One of my absolute favorite finds this week is this beautiful hanging daybed. Add this piece to your front porch to comfortably enjoy those cool summer nights, and dress it up with all kinds of pillows in colorful and patterned pillow covers.

Add some new lighting and chairs around your house. This open weave bamboo table lamp will add some texture to whatever room it’s in, and this caned picture light sconce is a gorgeous piece to help highlight one of your favorite paintings or pictures. Add new seating options to your living room with this slatted wood accent chair or this blue rocking chair. And new counter stools, like this french blue pinstripe swivel stool or this rattan framed bistro-inspired stool, are a great way to update and enhance your dining room.

This sage floral headboard or this clean and classic white nightstand would look great in a bedroom! You can even include this sage floral ottoman in the mix, or use it in another room in your home. This textured, braided hyacinth stool would look great in any room and so would this cute wicker basket.

A favorite of mine to help upgrade your kitchen or dining room is this rattan-wrapped pedestal dining table. Dress it with these colorful raffia placemats and these pretty pink and green floral napkins when setting the table for dinner, and use beautiful, fresh flowers placed in a pretty vase as a centerpiece.

Developing a Self Care Routine

 

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

June is here! It’s so crazy how fast this year is already going by, and the cool, spring days are officially melting into warm, long, and hopefully fun summer nights. Of course, these days being busy doesn’t feel like it used to, and now that the world is opening back up, it seems like there’s always something to do or somewhere to go.

There’s always work – whether it’s for my job or tasks that need done around the house. And even though the kids are no longer in school, they’ve traded school days for summer sports and other activities. And then there’s those beautiful summer vacations, but even vacations take work.

However, in the midst of it, we can’t forget to continue taking care of ourselves so that we can keep giving and pouring from a full cup.

Thinking about my own self care routine, I try my best to make a little Me Time everyday and do at least one or more things on my list. So, here’s my list of self care routines to help inspire your own self care ideas.

Morning

In the mornings, I like to wake up early, maybe even an hour before I expect the kids to be up, and have some quiet time to myself while enjoying a cup of coffee. Sometimes I sit on the porch and soak in the warmer temps. If it’s a cooler time of year I like to curl up with a blanket on the sofa.

I always start the day with a workout. The best way for me to clear my head is with a morning run. And nothing makes my morning runs better than listening to an uplifting and motivating playlist to set the tone of my day while wearing a good pair of shoes and comfy workout clothes. Sometimes if I am in a hurry I like to grab a coffee or juice from my local coffee shop after.

Mid-morning / Midday / Afternoon

Eating healthy throughout the day always keeps me feeling my best and it’s one of the best things we can do to love and care for ourselves. I make sure to nourish my body not feed it. Lot’s of greens, veggies, and fruit. Sometimes I’ll pull out my juicer for a green juice or make a smoothie.

I also love spending time working in the garden, doing some yard work, or planting and replanting my indoor plants in beautiful pots. I especially love working in the dirt when I’m stressed because it helps keep me grounded.

Night

Having a good bedtime routine that helps you relax and wind down can be another essential self care tool. A relaxing bath is a great option, especially if you weren’t able to get your morning Me Time. Relax in a bubble bath or use a good bath bomb or bath salts to help soothe you.

Then, end your night with a little bit of reading before bed and wind down in a nice, comfy pair of pajamas.

As this summer starts, do me a favor and make a little time for yourself each day. You won’t regret it and you’ll have a better day just by taking time to love and care for YOU.

Serena and Lily Memorial Day Sale

 

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

It’s officially my favorite time of year! The Serena and Lily Memorial Day Sale starts today and EVERYTHING is 20% off!

I’m a huge fan of Serena and Lily, and I use many of their items when redecorating and redesigning my own home or working with clients. So, in honor of this annual sale, I’ll share with you some of my favorite finds to help inspire your shopping and summer redecorating ideas. I’ll mix in some of my Serena and Lily favorites that are on my personal shopping list along with some of my favorites I already own – so, let’s go shopping!

Living Room

I love this Watson Loveseat! A beautiful addition to any room needing a little extra seating, its fringe detail, and traditional lines keep it classic while adding some texture. And you can dress it up with a beautiful throw blanket or a lumbar pillow in a classic print.

The Balboa Collection is one of my faves and I’m so excited that they’ve added a handwoven, rattan round coffee table to the collection! Stay with that rattan theme and add my favorite Brighton Table Lamp as a fun accent, or use the mix of materials in this Larkspur Table Lamp to inspire a more playful redecorating theme in your living room or bedroom.

Entryway /Mudroom

Speaking of texture, this round mirror is definitely a favorite of mine and works both inside and outdoors. Use it to dress up a bare wall, or hang it in your entryway over this gorgeous Driftway Console or this simple Beach House Entryway Table.

This navy Prioano wallpaper is one of my favorite additions to my home! I currently have it in my mudroom and it makes the space feel so calm and happy!

Kitchen / Dining Room

I love this Downing 48” Dining Table and I use it in my office as extra workspace, but it would work perfectly in any kitchen or dining room. It would even pair well with a set of Sunwashed Riviera Dining Chairs in the natural or mist color, or these kid-friendly, bistro-inspired Riviera Dining Chairs.

This rattan Santa Barbara Taper Pendant goes so well over a kitchen island. And this South Seas Side Bar Cart is one of my favorite and most versatile items to use around my home.

Whether used as a side table, a nightstand, extra storage in your bathroom, or as a mini bar in the dining room, this item will be sure to elevate whatever space you put it in!

Bedroom

This Harbour cane rattan bed frame is a long-time favorite of mine. I love the mix of materials and the timeless cane pops against the white.

I also love this linen-wrapped Driftway Dresser, and if I had more space I would add this beautiful piece to my bedroom. And don’t let me forget this scallop side table. I’m such a sucker for scallops and it would make the perfect nightstand.

Bathroom

This bamboo double hamper is such a beautiful addition to your bathroom and will definitely make dealing with dirty clothes a little easier. I also have this Healdsburg Bath Collection on my shopping list, and although I usually stick with white, those tassel fringed bath towels and washcloths in sky blue are gorgeous.

Patio / Outdoors

Some of my favorite Serena and Lily pieces are perfect weather-friendly additions to your patio, such as this Trestle outdoor coffee table. Made from outdoor-ready wicker, it’s a perfect addition to your patio, but it’s also beautiful enough to use in your living room.

Another outdoor favorite of mine is these rattan Catalina Dining Chairs. I’ve always been a fan of these and they would look great around a patio table. These Outdoor Riviera Dining Chairs are also perfect to place around a patio table, and they’re easy to keep clean.

Under $200

Some of my favorite finds under $200 include this Banded Border bath towel in french blue, these teak sling removable chair fabrics which are perfect for the beach, and this Willowbrook embroidered pillow cover in white.

Replace the bedding in a children’s or guest room with this beautiful twin Suzani quilt, or dress the room up with navy, oxford stripes by adding this twin duvet cover or this striped wallpaper. And you can grab a few yards of this Basketweave Perennials Fabric for any redesign project. I like to keep it classic with white fabrics, and I love this one because it’s stain proof, mildew proof, and resistant to UV rays.

My Top Ten Summer Beach Reads

 

PG3021596-B982CC53-8E70-4FF4-A943-4A0959C77DEF.jpeg

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

I don’t know about you, but I have been needing more time to read, and – since my days are currently split between working on my business and taking care of my family – I’m hoping to do some light reading this summer.

Summer vacations always seem to be the best time to immerse myself in a good book, especially if I haven’t been able to do it in a long time. So, to prepare for those long car rides and trips to the beach, I’ve gathered together a list of the top ten books I’m looking forward to reading this summer. Whether involving a bit of romance, drama, family feud, self discovery, or travel, these reads seem like perfect additions to your carry ons and beach bags.

1) People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry

This book seems like the perfect romance to read on a summer’s day! The story focuses on Alex and Poppy, two very different people who became unlikely friends while in college; however, during one of their annual vacations their friendship takes a rocky turn and you have to wonder – will they make-up or will this vacation officially be their last?

2) The Jetsetters by Amanda Eyre Ward

This novel just might take us on a vacation of our own with the Perkins family as they set sail on a cruise from Athens to Rome to Barcelona and on. But, it’s during this family cruise trip that Charlotte and her four adult children will have to decide whether or not they want to open up and work through the baggage they’ve all been carrying.

3) Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

“Such a Fun Age” seems like a breezy read with a big heart. Touching on issues of race and privilege, the main characters Alix and Emira are taken on a path where they both must work through the difficulties of adulthood and learn a fuller meaning of the word “family.”

4) Tokyo Ever After by Emiko Jean

This contemporary fairy tale is the story of Izzy Tanaka, a Japanese American girl who finds out that her father is the Crown Prince of Japan. Unsure of which path to take, Izzy is stuck wondering if she’s good enough to be the princess of Japan or if she’s better off going back to California. This book reminds me of “The Princess Diaries,” so it’s bound to be a fun read!

5) The Chicken Sisters by KJ Dell’Antonia

Perfect for the beach or a summer book club, “The Chicken Sisters” is about two different families, their restaurants, and which family deserves to have their chicken named “The Best in Kansas.” A book that focuses on the importance of family and heritage by adding a little bit of fun and competition is sure to keep the reader hooked.

6) The Vacationers by Emma Straub

When The Post family goes on a two-week trip with their extended family and friends, nothing goes according to plan as secrets start to come to the surface, old wounds are opened, and forgotten rivalries pick up where they left off. I’m not sure I’d want to be on that trip, but who doesn’t love a good-hearted story with a bit of drama?

7) Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes

Another great romance to grab before heading to the beach, “Evvie Drake Starts Over” focuses on love, loss, forgiveness, and starting over – even when it’s hard.

8) Summer of ‘69 by Elin Hildebrand

I love a good book that brings with it all of the nostalgia of the past, and this one sounds especially fun! Filled with so many pop culture and historical references from 1969, this coming-of-age story seems like the perfect summer read.

9) Beach Read by Emily Henry

Of course when talking about beach reads, this book had to be added to the list! In this story, two authors – Augustus and January – are both suffering from writer’s block. So, to try and help encourage their creativity, they challenge each other to write a book like they’ve never written before…while doing their best to not fall in love.

10) Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier

“Rebecca” is one of those classic books that seems perfect to take on any trip. More of a mystery than a love story, it begins in Monte Carlo where the main character (whose name is never mentioned), is quickly swept off her feet by widower Maxim de Winter. When she moves in with her new husband, she feels the weight of his late wife’s legacy and she wonders if she’ll be able to find a release from Rebecca’s hold.

I’m looking forward to grabbing a good book or two and relaxing by the water with my family this summer. And I hope you’re able to grab one of these books and make more time to read, too!

Friday Favorites | Five Summer Clothing Essentials to Find on Amazon Fashion

 

amazon.jpg

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links that I may earn a small commission from, at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I would or have used myself.

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but summer is one of my favorite times of the year! I get to spend more time with my family as well as taking some extra time on the beach in Michigan relaxing and being inspired. I especially love it when I get to take it all in while feeling comfy in my clothes during those warm summer days.

Often when I’m looking for simple summer clothing items to add to my wardrobe or if I’m doing some last-minute prepping for a vacation, I’ll do a little bit of shopping on Amazon to look for those summer wardrobe staples. So, this Friday I’ll be sharing with you my five favorite basic summer clothing essentials to find on Amazon Fashion.

1) Tee shirts

Tee shirts are a basic item that we often need more of than what we actually have on hand. Grabbing a couple of these basic tees – in white or grey – will give you a simple and easy top option for a busy morning or a walk on the beach. But! The best part about a basic tee is that you can dress it up by adding a kimono, cardigan, or jean jacket into the mix.

2) Button-down Blouses

A comfy, casual blouse is another one of my favorite summer clothing essentials to search for on Amazon. As another multifunctional top option, all different types and colors of blouses are great to dress up and use to play with your outfits. And! They’re not only great for summer, but they can be worn all year round!

3) Dresses

You can find so many cute and stylish dresses on Amazon that won’t break the bank, and I especially love it when I find a comfy and classy maxi-dress that I might need for a last-minute event or to take with me on a trip.

4) Skirts

Skirts are another good, fashionable item that you can find on Amazon to get your wardrobe ready for summer. There are so many styles to choose from, and you can pretty much dress any skirt up with a pretty blouse or down with a basic tee.

5) Sandals

Sandals are a summer must-have! They’re so easy to add to any summer outfit, whether you’re wearing shorts and a tee shirt, a comfy dress, or just your bathing suit, you can find a variety of sandals on Amazon to search and pick through for any occasion!
