Float Away!

Who knew plastic floats are the new must have summer accessory for your pool? Create Instgram-worthy shots this summer at the beach or pool with your fun floats! Move over swan, you've got some yummy competition. Have you seen the photos of Patricia Altschul's Pink Flamingo float party in downtown Historic Charleston that were inspired by her flamingo float?

Gray Malin: Beaches

I know the first official day of summer is not until June 20th, but after Memorial Day I'm in Summer mode. Nothing better to get you in the summer mode than famed beaches photographer, Gray Malin.

Check out some of my favorite interiors featuring his beautiful photographs. If this doesn't get you in a beachy mood, nothing will! 

You can bring a piece of Malin to your home with his new coffee table book, awesome beach towels and other fun gifts! Definitely makes cute and unique hostess gifts in case someone invites you to their beach or lake house this summer!
