Can't Get Enough Color. One trend that I can't get enough of is the color blocking and bright colors of spring. The playful dresses and funky color pairings continue to impress me and inspire my summer wardrobe choices. I really like the bold pieces and pairings that seem to perfectly capture the boldness of summer fashion. Eye catching pieces like these by Martha Streck suggest an adventurous fashion that involves statement pieces and bright colors that are perfect for summer. Martha Streck Elle Brazil.

Fun Trashion Accessories You Can Find on Etsy. That is composed of Etsy sellers who focus on recycling and upcycling found and discarded materials, according to their site. While there are many people online selling items they call "trashion" (some of which are less than fashionable or creative to put it nicely) there are also creative individuals using re-purposed items and traditional "trash" items to make very cool and very chic products, many of which are sellers on this site.

DIY Inspiration: Fall Festivals. One of my favorite things to do is to explore local fall festivals. I love to bundle up in a snug knit sweater and long scarf and mill around looking at the displays, watching the Autumn leaves as I pass by. Glass bottles-turned birdfeeders were another project I saw, and things like these are definitely a favorite of mine. I like these, because they are fairly simple to construct and make use of bottles, which people seem to discard frequently. Glass bottle upcyc...I als...

eco Couture: June 2012

http://ecocouture.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

It’s Midsummer again and the longest days of the year are upon us. Midsummer is celebrated around the day of the summer solstice. The actual date for the celebration varies year to year between 19 to 25 June since it is always celebrated on a Friday. Summers in Scandinavia are especially memorable as the sun never sets leaving long hours to fest. Think Maypole dancing, lots of “Skåling” with Schnapps and Aquavit, eating gads of food, and perhaps some skinny dipping too! This is easy to make at home!

A Joy Shared is a Joy Doubled. I was so excited to receive an invitation to a Sew Swap and Share party this coming Earth Day. A Fashion Swap is about getting together with friends old and new. It’s about sharing the loved stuff that has been your inspiration, while finding new-to-us stuff to take home and love. Swapping is social, sustainable, and stylish. If you are like me, you have recently done a pretty thorough spring cleaning and are ready to go. Host a Good Old-Fashioned Suitcase Rummage. If you c...

It’s no secret that I’m a vintage vixen, however the pickings are pretty paltry now that retro is trending both as an inspiration for new design as well as a tool for reworked design. I know girls and guys who spend hours digging their way through the clothes racks of op-shops and resale boutiques only to find that the gems are picked clean and only tarnished tanks and tees remain.

Use Your Own Space to Create a Personal Yoga Retreat. For me, there's nothing like a nice relaxing session of yoga to get my day started or to unwind at the end of the night, but sometimes, the cold weather gets in the way of going to a yoga class, which gets in the way of relaxation. Lately, I've been thinking of ways to incorporate a yoga practice into my lifestyle so I can get the benefits of yoga even when I don 't make it to the gym, and that's got me thinking about creating a yoga space of my own.
