Gussy up your outdoor lounges and couches with this cushy blue pillow. It's made of water-resistant material and the pretty cornflowers give your patio a homey feel. Plus, it's something to throw if someone says something you don't agree with.

This little cotton sundress is really cool. It seems almost like a Project Runway challenge. It looks like it's made of a deconstructed, blue-striped, button-down men's dress shirt. And made in a beautiful, form-flattering way. I love the way the vertical stripes turn diagonal on the bust area.

Looky, it's like your very own blue-light special. It's a night light that charges itself during the day on sunlight and the glow of your incandescent bulbs. I like the way it's designed to look like a lightbulb encased in a cube of glass. It would look cool on the nightstand.

These earrings are so bright and cheery. They're a little more than three inches long, so they can add a huge pop of color to your outfit. They'd look nice and beachy if you wore them with sandals and some white linen pants or a long, flowy broomstick skirt.

I saw this on InStyle.com the other day. It's the cutest way to protect your 'do from the elements that I've ever seen. It's made of white weather-resistant cotton, with either green or black patent leather trim. Granted, it costs a lot more than a kitschy plastic kerchief, but it's got some serious glam.

You could get lost in the serene green color of this chunky two-inch-long Serpentine pendant. And the blue-green chalcedony beads look great next to it. They say it's supposed to make you dream of the ocean, which is fine as long as you know how to swim. The pendant comes on a 16-inch sterling silver chain.

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.

When you feel like going out dancing with your friends, throw on these three-inch chandelier earrings. They're dramatic enough to match your out-on-the-town dramatic eyeshadow, but not so loud that they take away from your awesome dance moves. Plus, they jangle and catch the light as you bop to the music.

I can has giant ice cream cone? Seriously, if I actually owned this two foot tall ice cream cone lamp, I think I would just be craving ice cream constantly. It would be like that summer where the ice cream man parked outside of my apartment all day long. But I still covet this thing. It's so wonderfully bizarre, and maybe this is because it's "soft" serve, but it even gives off a nice soft glow.

I recently bought this light cotton top, and now it's one of my favorite things to wear. It feels cool and comfortable, perfect for summer weather, and the cap sleeves and lacy trim make it interesting. And the price sure is nice. I kind of want to buy a second.
