Fashion: The Elegant Kimono

I first spied this lovely kimono about a month ago during our local Japanese festival. I was struck by its simple yet, ornate appearance. I recall years ago, wearing kimonos as dressing gowns and for date nights. You can find kimonos on eBay, Etsy, Japanese specialty shops, thrift stores, and even flea markets.

Divatosity: Reclaimed Wood

I love the look of reclaimed wood. The color and texture of the wood makes me think of a quaint field with farmhouse in the distance.

Simple Patio Furniture

I scored this simple set of folding patio furniture from Overstock.com for less than $90.00. It is lovely and easy to store. Patio furniture adds a warm weather element to your balcony, deck, and/or backyard space. Make sure that the patio furniture that you choose actually fits your lifestyle. In other words, buying a whole bunch of patio furniture to use when you are rarely home does not make the best financial sense. On the other hand, not having any patio furniture when you are the one constantly hosting the summer parties seems kind of silly.

Divatosity: Striped Palettes Are So Much Fun!

This color palette is a good precursor for Spring...which cannot get to the Midwest soon enough. This color palette makes me want to sit outside on the patio of a bistro. I imagine myself seated on an elegant black wrought iron chair surrounded by dear friends.
