27+ French Manicure Looks You'll Love

Are you a french manicure girlie? This post is for you. This post will show you how to step up your French Manicures for an elevated appeal.

Whenever I go to the nail salon, I always have my classic go to manicure colors, white ( I love three layers OPI Funny Bunny ) , soft pink or a classic French Manicure.

Every once and a while though, I find myself tempted to try something outside of my standard go to looks. Especially for Summer, it’s the perfect time to opt for bold and bright colors to really make an impact.

Here’s the thing, picking out a color from the endless wall of color options at the nail salon can send me into brain fatigue. So, I tend to just go to my standard. The Classic French Manicure.

You can never go wrong with a timeless and classic French manicure, however if you feel like it lacks creativity, especially in the Summer months, why not add a few eye-catching details such as pearls, chrome powder, or a gradient color scheme? The 2024 version of the French mani is much more chic than it’s ever been before.

There are so many interesting designs to choose from, so why not try something different?

22 Stylish & Simple Summer Decorating Ideas That Will Impress Your Guests

Are you looking to freshen up your home for Summer? Look no further because this post has the best summer decor ideas to add vibrant energy to your home that will make a visual statement and impress your guests. 

Summer is the season that everyone looks forward to embracing. The long warm Summer days, outdoor living & entertaining, endless hours in the pool, creating new refreshing cocktails and long weekends away.

It’s a light, bright and happy season and there’s no reason why your home shouldn’t reflect that same energy. 

If you haven’t already learned from reading this blog or listening to my podcast, how you decorate your home impacts your mood, comfort, and well-being.

So I fully encourage you to add a few tweaks to your home decor and embracing beautiful Summer themes, will keep your home feeling fresh and exciting. This way, when your family and friends come over to visit, your home feels like a warm hug.

A few things you will want to keep in mind when decorating for Summer:

• Lighter fabrics. Push the velvets into your linen closet and bring out the cottons, linens and sheer fabrics. You’ll also want to think about lighter throw blankets, too.

• Softer colors. Forget neutral everything and incorporate muted colors and soft pastels into your home decor. You can add color easily with flowers, plates and dishes, throw pillows and books.

• Make your outdoor spaces feel like indoors. One of the best ways to do this is outdoor rugs. Whether you are freshening up your welcome mat area or your backyard outdoor dining room, you will want to make the outdoor spaces feel more inviting.

Summer is always the season when we crave more color naturally. The colors of nature are healing to the soul. The first thing you can do to bring in more color & connect with the energy of Summer is by adding bright flowers to otherwise dark or cozy corners of any room.

There really is nothing more chic and classic than blue and white china. I personally swapped out my kitchen utensil holder for a blue and white chinoiserie orchid pot and it makes the kitchen feel so much more cheerful.
