Summer is all about sitting back and enjoying the sun. Those days you can’t wait to get out of work and finally chill out. When it comes to fashion, summer brings light colors and comfy clothes. Free People is one of my favorite shops because their selection is a nice mix of boho, vintage and elegant choices.

The color white is often seen during this season as well. Since summer is making its way fast, I wanted to share a few of my favorite picks from some of their white selection which I feel are all great options to wear. Enjoy!

Oh, do I love paper. Even when I was a child I had a special relationship with it. I loved stationary and would always want my Mother to buy me new pads and notebooks, just so I can have plenty of paper to write and draw on. Today, I simply adore it.

Being an artist you learn how to appreciate paper more. Most of my handmade crafts are made with it as well so I have used more as the years passed. Searching for unique patterns and designs is easy thanks to all the talented people out there creating such beautiful work. From tissue paper to wallpaper, there is something to be found for everyone.

Here are some cool finds I came across upon my searches that I would like to share with you. Get lost in the magnificent glory of all these fun and gorgeous items and let them inspire you, like they inspired me.

Loving Lace & Ruffles

I am not a huge fan of David’s Bridal because they mostly carry traditional wedding gowns but I did come across some gorgeous lace dresses that made me smile. The store is good for their prices which helps out a bunch as well.

I happen to love lace and when its added to garments, it really gives a nice, antique feel to the overall style. Even if the gown is modern, adding lace takes it to a whole new level. Its all in the details. Ruffles are always nice if its done right. Personally, I don’t like when the dress swallows the bride, which you see a lot. You should always wear the dress so don’t let it wear you. Here are the ones on the top of my list.
