Scent Your Home For Summer

Seasonal scents excite the senses, and often evoke memories of years gone by.  The scent of lemons might remind you of Grandma's lemon meringue pie. Coconut will undoubtedly make you think of suntan lotion on a sandy beach, or a poolside pina colada.  Today's edit certainly smells like summer, and why shouldn't your home? Scroll down for great gifts and home scents.

These mists not only remove odors but also prevent them from forming. With scents like Sea & Dune, and Marine, your home will smell like sandy shores and ocean waves.

D.S. & Durga Big Sur After Rain

I have been to Big Sur many times, but never while it was raining.  This scent is described as "Rain water in eucalyptus groves off Highway 1." To me this beautiful part of California smells like redwoods, cypress, salt water, eucalyptus, mixed with a little lavender. It's heaven for the senses. I bet this candle is, too.

Plan a Party For The 4th Of July

Caftan Chic: 17 Looks To Love

{ Via: Camilla }

Caftans are chic again. They probably always have been since Elizabeth Taylor was married in one. And why not? It's a relaxed and whimsical way to look glamorous.  Wear one down the aisle, at the party, on the beach, patio, and poolside. Scroll down and dare to be fabulous! 

Helene Crochet Sequins Kaftan
So pretty in the lightest shade of purple. The main body of the cotton crochet kaftan is lined, which is a good thing. A close up look reveals shiny sequins.

Free People

KII Caftan

Easy wear and care, this caftan billows and flows with you. Under $200

Natori

Peace Train Mykonos Kaftan

Chic in crochet. Wear this over your swimsuit around the pool or at the beach. A very special piece.

Free People

Boho Embellished Short Silk Caftan

It took 660 minutes to complete the beading on this stunning style. The price reflects the craftsmanship. It would be wonderful with narrow leg white silk pants, too. It's fabulous!

Natori

Wanderlust Caftan

100% chic in cotton. Under $120

Echo New York

Ocean + Main Mykonos

Ethically sourced and made in Los Angeles, this is my kind of caftan. It's slightly sheer, but bra friendly. It's made from light as a feather upcycled cupro cotton. 
Ocean + Main

 

Andres Otalora Turbay Fringe Caftan

This dress took my breath away. It's pricey. The good news is that it is a pre-order so you only have to put 50% down now. That helps.

Moda Operandi

Popart Cloud Silk Caftan

Loving the pop of print! It's washable silk, which makes this style even more tempting.
Trina Turk

Ocean and Main Boatneck Caftan

If you know me, you will know how much I love this look. It's navy not black, paired with fabulous fuchsia. Made of satin and silk.

Bergdorf Goodman

Farm Rio Pineapple Garden Kaftan

Always cheerful and colorful, Farm Rio creates a feminine and flattering look to be worn everywhere.

Anthropologie or Saks Fifth Avenue

Tommy Bahama Colorblock Caftan

Made from 100% viscose so it will drape and wash well. The criss cross neckline is a nice detail. Others have it, but it's on sale at Tommy Bahama. Under $90

Tommy Bahama

9 Seed Off The Shoulder Caftan

I have ben eyeing this style for a year. It has never gone on sale! But if you want a little arm coverage and maximum shoulder exposure, this style is for you (and me). It's maxi length, and created in a breezy cotton gauze. Under $200.

Shopbop

Bel Kazan Kaftan

Love the geometric print of the pattern. It's bold and modern. Under $150
Anthropologie

Onsen Caftan

The perfect lounge at home piece. It's created in a textured cotton weave. Available in sand dune or white.

Natori  and  Sakes Fifth Avenue

Rianna + Nina Mesogios Manitari Kaftan

Loving this happy print. It's now on sale for more than 50% off, but still a bit pricey.

Bergdorf Goodman

The Beetles Caftan

Apologies for this bad image of a stunning caftan! The beading is exquisite. Wear this to go dancing. It's on sale.
