Heather brings some relaxed style from overseas
by Heather Summerville
I recently spent a week in Barcelona--my first trip there--and totally fell in love with the easy-going, bohemian vibe of the city with its gaggle of scooters, maze of cobblestone streets, and, oh my goodness, the food. What I wasn't expecting, however, was the current wave of sporty-sleek fashions I saw all over the street.

Make a statement with a stylish critter or twoBy Heather Summerville I recently came across
Jennifer Angus' work at the
Newark Museum. Her installation, Insecta Fantasia, is made up of thousands of insects--pink grasshoppers, cicadas, weevils, and more--all pinned in perfect geometric patterns on the walls of two rooms. From far away, it looks like wallpaper that's at once beautiful and eerie. It was a truly fascinating site, especially considering if I'd run into any one of these bugs alive I would've sprinted in the opposite direction.

Heather finds three must-have decorative wall mirrors.By Heather SummervilleFor as long as I can remember, and in as many houses as I can recall, every woman in my family has hung a small wall mirror in the entryway next to their front door. My grandmother always swore it was for luck, but I suspect that the real reason was to make sure she didn't have lipstick on her teeth before she left the house.

Heather rounds up the best outdoor-furniture finds.By Heather SummervilleFor the first time in nearly a decade of living in New York my apartment has a deck--well, technically, it's a small, flat patch of roof outside my kitchen window. But any real-estate agent in New York would call it a deck, and for once I'm going to agree.

Heather Summerville on the next hot summer trend.By Heather SummervilleCrochet has always appealed to my hippie tendencies: it's romantic, it's crafty, you get the idea. But I've never considered it entirely sexy, until now. Over the past two weeks, I've been spotting crochet-back dresses everywhere--on girls at restaurants, once on the subway, and even on street-style photographer
The Cobra Snake's website (see photos below).

Coming to terms with my tie-dye obsession
By Heather SummervilleA few weeks ago Emily Hsieh--the stylish woman behind
Lucky's always ahead-of-the-fashion-curve
Shop Girl blog--wrote about
American Apparel's new tie-dye
leggings, which I'd been tempted to buy numerous times, but could never
follow through on. My fear was that I'm just not cool enough to pull
off such a hippie-gone-rocker look.
