This sleeveless eyelet top looks fresh and summery, like newly mowed grass. It's casual enough to wear to a friend's barbecue. But it's also put-together enough that you could pair it with white pants and metallic sandals, and wear it on a date. It also comes in white.

This vase by Haruki Senda, which is designed to hold a single flower, is actually more like an outline of a vase. The flower almost seems to float in air. The vase is made of laminated bamboo and a glass tube. It's 10 inches tall.

This top looks very cool. I think I could maybe actually wear this sleeveless T-shirt on the subway in the summer and not turn into a sweaty mess. Maybe. Plus, the ruching and asymmetric bow on the shoulder keeps it from looking like a boring T-shirt. It also comes in black and green.

Okay, I don't totally understand how this jewelry by designer Melissa Borrell works. It's made of stainless steel, and apparently, it comes sort of attached to the rest of the sheet metal and you "pop it out" yourself and put it on the included chain. Although, it sounds a bit complicated, the result is a really funky, almost organic looking jewelry set.

How cute and summery are these wedges? They're made of black raffia, embroidered with cheery yellow and white cactus flowers. And they have a soft leather sole. I like that they have a strap too, because the wedge is nearly four inches. It should make them easier to walk around in.

These pendants, which measure about 2/3 of an inch long, are pretty cool looking. They're made of clear crystal quartz with mossy green minerals branching through it. It hangs on a goldfill or sterling silver chain dotted with beads. You can order a 16-, 18-, or 20-inch chain.

Ibride designs cool serving trays that make for nifty wall art. One of my coworkers put one up on her office bookshelves instead of paperwork. (I approve.) I really like this Diane design with its green color scheme and flowers. It measures 16 inches by 10.5 inches. To check out other Ibride tray styles, click here.

This is pretty pricey for a tank, but this cotton top is so beautiful. I love the color and the shape of it. And it has lovely embroidery along the bottom, pretty pintuck pleats on the top, and wide straps to conceal a bra. It's the kind of thing you could wear under a jacket at work, and then wear by itself in the evening with slacks or a skirt.

These platform sandals truly are foxy. Especially if you've got a bright new pedicure poking out from the peep toes. They have a cool retro stacked three-inch wooden heel and pretty dark teal leather T-straps. They'd look totally cute with a sundress or a long flowy summer skirt.

These hanging lanterns give your porch or deck or balcony a little romance. I like how easy they are to set up too. You just pop in a votive, and hang it from a hook or a nail. They come in two sizes, one with a five-inch-wide base and one with an eight-inch-wide base. Besides the color seen here, you can also buy them in turquoise or white.
