Today’s link round-up covers all kinds of get-pretty-for-summer information. There are floral pants, summer makeup and hairstyles, and even a summertime snack.
The Small Things Blog teaches us how to create a lovely Dutch braid along the hairline to give our style some oomph without taking hours to complete. Cute ways to keep the hair out of my face without resorting to yet another ponytail or butterfly clip are spectacular in my book.
First, Love Maegan shows us some of her favorite floral pants for the summer. I might consider wearing some of the pairs she’s posted, but I have a feeling I’d have a hard time choosing a shirt and accessories for them. Would you wear them?
Thrifty Décor Chick tried out a new kind of paint that doesn’t require much prep work at all, and her project turned out beautifully. She layered the paints and then used some sandpaper to give the wood a distressed look in this tutorial.
Who doesn’t like pretzels and hotdogs in the summer (or any time)? Cupcakes and Cashmere shows us how to make this tasty treat that even the kids and husband will love.
At The Inspired Room, there’s a discussion about how it’s hard to settle on a design. Safe, classy, and neutral can sometimes be at odds with bright, fun, and happy. Do you have that problem, too?
Sometimes it doesn’t take much at all to liven up an outfit. Check out these DIY inspiration embellished belts that Glitter n Glue has gathered into one blog post for ideas.
Pursebuzz shows us a mom-friendly golden shadow look for summer with a pop of teal along the lower lashes. It looks pretty easy to replicate with items you may already have on hand, too, since it requires mostly neutral shades.
