May Style Tips

• Make your own 'live stream' of inspiration - tack photos you love into a cluster on your wall, strung along a line of fairy lights, or even on a simple ribbon board. Some ideas: photos of your favorite flowers, free paint chips from your nearest big-box hardware store, or just the contents of your Tumblr!
• Dress up any ordinary manicure paint job with white or black polka dots - just add them with a tiny brush or even a tooth-pick! Polka dots add a touch of class to any outfit.
• Add cute country kitsch to any outfit with a half-apron or pinafore. Vintage patterns would be great for making your own, or choose one from your favorite lolita brand. 
• Choose a 'patron color' for the month and add little touches of it to your daily life. Right now my patron color is definitely violet and lavender; I've even painted my nails lavender, started using lavender body wash, and worn lavender shimmer on my eyes lately!
• Take advantage of the upcoming fresh fruit for breakfast! Fresh fruit, yogurt, and granola or honey is a wonderful breakfast on a spring morning. Peach is one of my favorites that will be available soon!
• Less is more - invest in at least one 'summer dress' that's light and breezy and can be worn anywhere - on a date, to the beach, or the farmer's market! I love simple sailor onepieces especially for this time of year - or be more daring and wear your favorite jumperskirt without a blouse for a more casual look.
• A must-have to go with the aforementioned - a go-to cardigan for when the sun sets! Big, squashy cardigans in pastels are wonderful for girls who want sweet pop, whereas a soft white crocheted shawl or cape would look fairytale-like over classic, romantic lolitas and summery mori-girls.
