One thing I love to do is accessorize my outfits with hats, scarves, cute bags, etc. Summer is the perfect time to play up your style with fun accessories. I leave a floppy straw hat in my car at all times during these hot months to throw on while running errands or bring the kids to swim lessons. Sunglasses are always within reach whenever I am out and about.Ā Besides hats and sunnies, I am very fond of scarves. There are so many ways you can use an adorable little scarf. Today on CCG, I have picked out my favorite cute scarves for Summer and give you ideas on just how to wear them!
Quick Read
Over the years, I have collected my fair share of retro sunglasses and never leave home without a pair or two in my handbag. Not only is quality eyewear an important way to keep sun damage around your eyes to a minimum, but there are so many adorable options out there to chose from. For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to the retro sunglasses trend with cat eyes being my favorite. Today on Champagne Colored Glasses, I write about my favorite vintage sunglasses trend you need this Spring season.

My favorite time of year is here and with that comes pretty Spring dresses and cute shoes! Although I am a flats kind of girl, I do occasionally find some cute heels that I just can’t resist. From dainty and feminine to bold and colorful, shoes are a great way to polish off that perfect Spring look. In todays post, I have put together some of my favorite shoes this season and most of them are under $100! If you’re looking for some springtime footwear, I’ve got you covered!
I am a huge lover of loafers and continuously catch myself reaching for them every chance I get. I purchased a pair of crochet ones last month and I can’t get enough of them. Another favorite of mine are flat espadrilles which I wore in these looks, here and here. One shoe I absolutely adore is this pair of Jeffrey Campbell gingham flats, which are on sale for $36! If you are looking for a neutral tone to pair with multiple outfits, check out these cute shoes by Born. Last but not least, one of my favorite pairs of loafers are by Stubbs and Wootton. You can even customize your own with initials or even pictures!
So spend Tuesday “Shoes-day” perusing my selection of Spring shoes and let me know which ones you love most!
Neil and I spent the morning downtown sipping coffee and eating yummy croissants from our local French bakery. We love walking along the cute shops here in town and sitting out by the fountain. It was particularly cold and windy that day, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time.Ā I usually plan an outfit around a special top or dress, however, here I based my look all round this fun Kate Spade roundie bag.
This dress reminds me of an ocean wave š #blueandwhite #springdress #springdresses

This past weekend it snowed here in the foothills and now today itās going to be 80ā¦. Today will be spent gardening. Iāve noticed that when Iām in the yard planting flowers in my flower box and spend time out there, it really makes me happy and relaxes me. Whatās something you do that makes you happy?
SAVE AND SHARE THIS TIP! Want your fresh #hydrangeas to last longer? I have the perfect tip for you! You can repeat this tip multiple times on the same bouquet to get maximum use out of your fresh blooms! Simply, cut a small portion off the bottom of the stem, dip in ALUM (found in the spice section of the grocery store) and stick in cold water. I promise you, this trick works. If you are a hydrangea nut like me, and hate spending so much on flowers, then try this out and let me know! #hydrangea #homehack #hydrangealove
