Today’s link round-up involves spring green furniture, summer hairstyles, makeup and accessories for the season, and ideas on how to dress all summer long.

First, Weathered Pieces shows us how to take a table that isn’t in such great shape and turn it into a cute spring green table for a daughter’s room (above).

Just in time for summer humidity, Hair Romance gives a thorough demonstration of how to create a style that looks way more put together than the traditional ponytail but still keeps your hair out of your face.

It’s time to fire up the grill. Today’s Creative Blog takes an interesting spin on barbecue sauce by using brewed coffee.

You’ve probably heard of clothing with SPF, but what about a scarf you can take anywhere and cover those exposed shoulders, chest, and back when you find yourself caught in the sun with no sunscreen on? Karla Sugar talks about Bloxsun Scarves on her blog. Sounds like a must-have.

From sandals to makeup, update your style with the picks at Mom Trends. Add these items to your wardrobe and beauty supplies and give your look a breath of fresh air.

You may know all about the lace trend, but feel it’s difficult to pull off as a mom (snags, layering to avoid exposure, etc). Your Style Scout has a few options to share.

Kid-friendly mom clothing doesn’t have to be yoga pants, t-shirts, and sneakers. Look to Charmed Valerie for a few sample outfits to stay stylish but functional.

What are your summer staples and projects?

    Cute hairstyle. Not sure I could pull it off – I have a hard time getting the twists smooth.

    That Bloxsun scarf idea is great, can’t wait for the next version that offers more choices, and then I’m all over that. Sun always burns me on the shoulders and chest, but I dislike how hot those sun-shield tops get.

    Love the spring green table and the cute pony! Makes me want to update some hand-me-down furniture that I have!

    I love these dresses. I just spent the day shopping at Burlitgon with my little girl. We found some great summer outfits and sundresses and I love their prices. We had a great day together.
