A few weeks ago we were vacationing at the beach, enjoying the sun, sand and surf. The time seems to pass so quickly and before you know it, you are heading back home and wishing you could have stayed for just one more day. As our family grows, it seems like we are carrying arms loads of stuff out on to the beach....chairs, umbrella, towels, bags, toys and a cooler. It seemed to be so much more simpler when it was just the hubby and I. Here are a few items that I had in my beach tote and a few that I am totally crushing over!

Fourth of July is only a week away...I can't believe we are already half way through the year. There are so many things that I love about the 4th....the food, weather, and fireworks. Here are a few things that I wouldn't mind wearing to a patriotic barbecue or parade. These images are also my inspiration for this weeks DIY.

Chevron Inspiration

I have always been inspired by patterns. and lately I have been loving anything with a chevron or zigzag pattern. When wearing it as fashion or in home design it really makes a strong impact. Adding chevron patterns to your wardrobe or home interior can be very simple and easily changeable....like adding a chevron bracelet or chevron throw pillow to your couch.

The chevron pattern has inspired my DIY for this week so check back on Friday to see what I create.
