With promises of long days in the sun and upcoming summer vacations, I’m wishlisting quite a few items on all of my favorite retail sites. I’m currently on the hunt for the perfect off the shoulder dress, I’m still deciding on which cutoffs will be my everything, and I just scooped up a statement clutch with the most intriguingly detailed design.  I’ve also got my eye on a few other summer looks, so I rounded up my list of top 10 outfits for summer to steal. What look is inspiring you this summer? Cheers, Kat 

Too often overlooked these days, a housewarming gift is one of the easiest gestures that really just goes a long way.  Whether you’re celebrating the fresh start for a new neighbor or a loved one, don’t be overwhelmed by pulling together the perfect basket, because there really are no rules. 

A great tip to keep in mind, though, is consider sticking to a theme when collecting items to include in the gift basket. Here, I’ve chosen bright and cheery items that encourage time spent in the kitchen, the room often considered to be the true heart of the home.  I tied it all together with fresh blooms (can’t ever go wrong with fresh blooms) and a copper colander inside a simple wire basket that perfectly packages the array of treats including crisp tea towels and delicious-smelling dish soaps and hand lotions inside. 

While these ideas are great for a housewarming gift basket any time of year, this would especially make a great gift for Mother’s Day; perhaps filled with all of Mom’s favorite products and sweet treats?  Truly, MKR
