Watermelon Soup…for these steamy summer days…
From Better Homes & Gardens

A little design inspiration from Cotton & Quill…

The French 75 fabric is one of our faves…perhaps because it’s named after one of our favorite drinks??

Looks like east-coast-native belle needs to consider a move…

Take this BuzzFeed quiz to see where you fit in

One belle is doing a good bit of paint color exploration…

This House Beautiful guide is helping her come up with an inspiring palette

Embroidered Rag & Bone jeans from Intermix…

Just call us fancy pants 😉

Hope these are ringin’ your belle, too!!

Sometimes trends come and go so quickly, we hardly have time to jump on ’em (in our own way, of course)…but here’s one that seems to be stickin’ around for another season or two: the cold shoulder. (Good news if you made the investment in some pieces last year…good news if you feel you missed out and want to give it a try!!)

Here are some possibilities…
