I pretty much start eating strawberries as soon as I find them at the grocery store, and then continue to have them on hand for the entirety of the summer. It helps that I have strawberry plants that yield a ton of fruit. While simply eating a handful of freshly picked berries will always be one of the best ways to eat them, I sometimes find myself craving something a little more creative. Well, having just written that sentence, I realize that strawberry shortcake isn’t wildly creative or unique – but it makes for a super-simple and delicious low-key dessert that, with a little plating, can look luxurious.

Cardigans and pullovers have never really done it for me. I’m always afraid I’ll buy a cute patterned cardigan and never wear it, and I tend to feel awkward when I wear a pullover over another top. But at this transitional time of year, a light sweater would be perfect to throw on when it gets chilly, so I took a look around for some cardigans and pullovers I could work into my wardrobe. I’d be willing to give any of these a try.
Toile is something I’d never thought of as being used on a dress. That is, until I saw this – and now I’m kind of obsessed. Besides having a fabulous nature-inspired toile print, it looks super easy to wear – just throw it on with some delicate chain necklaces and wedge sandals, and you’re ready for just about any occasion. Plus, it could totally work in early fall with some tights and leather boots.
