On beautiful Summer days, it's always convenient to have a furnished outdoor lounge area for entertaining, or just taking an escape of your own. If you have such a space, and you're anything like yours truly, you feel the urge to decorate the space just as you would the interior of your home.

Sometimes, inspiration comes in very unexpected places, and yesterday, I was inspired by a picture of a brilliantly blue bird. The indigo bunting is a small songbird that is more often seen along roadsides or in abandoned farm fields than it is in heavily forested or urban areas.

Bold, look-at-me bright makeup is a key trend for this summer, and the look is set to get even more extreme for autumn/winter.

I have a closet confession: I veer towards solids. Prints are tricky for me — I tend to tire of a print after a couple years. Is that normal?
