If you’ve been keeping up with us during the past few weeks, you know we’ve been spending the month of May in celebration of color. To commemorate the fullness of spring and the upcoming summer season, we first featured green, then it was on to sunshine-inspired yellow. And this week, we’re seeing red! So whether you want to rev up your home, your wardrobe or your family’s energy level, here are nine hand-picked selections to infuse your warm-weather season with the vibrant cherry-inspired hue.


Cheery Infant Bodysuit. This one-of-a-kind onesie features an appliqued giraffe crafted from the artist’s original handiwork. It’s perfect for warm afternoons in the summer sun.



Personalized Stationery. Whether you’re sending a thank you note to a couple for hosting a get together, or you’re simply writing a friend to say hello, these lovely personalized cards will convey your style, as well as your sentiments.



Vibrant Swimwear. Nothing spells the start of summer like a trip to the pool or beach. Make a splash in these cheerful swimwear pieces. This suit is a chic, yet modest piece for mamas.


 


And this suit is charming for little girls. (Yes, the site is in French, so it’s more for inspiration.)



For Dads, these board shorts are comfy and classic.



And little boys can channel Dad’s style with these trunks.



Strawberry Gift Tags. These tags are a whimsical, seasonally appropriate adornment to any gift that may need giving.



Flirty Maternity Dress. Moms-to-be can beat the heat and still look cool in this candy-apple-red maternity dress.



Diaper Bag/Tote. Summer means toting around an arsenal of gear designed to keep the kiddos entertained. Stash this bag with all your essentials, and you won’t mind carrying their snacks and sunscreen.



Growth chart. Chronicle their growth with this adorable growth chart.



Strawberry Jam. Nothing says warm weather and long afternoons like strawberries. Stonewall Kitchens has bottled that flavor with their Strawberry Brandied Apricot Jam; spread it on toast or scones in the morning for a delicious way to start the day.


Berry Shortcakes. And speaking of food … take advantage of summer’s plentiful bounty of berries with this tantalizing dessert recipe.

  1. Yummo- although my kiddo’s are nearly full grown, I adored maternity time, wishing I could wear that dress – carry that tote, but (we) will just have to settle for some strawberry short-cake!

  2. Well you could always fill that tote with sunglasses and a good book and carry it to the pool! You’d look dashing doing it!

  3. Great finds! I love shopping from home :)
