Today is officially the first day of summer. After living in a city that had mild, cool weather year round, I’m definitely excited to experience the seasons again here in New York. I could live without the humidity, but you can’t win them all!

In honor of the new season, I’ve rounded up some fun links to get your summer started right.
I can’t wait to try this Mexican Street Corn Salad. It looks like an easier to eat version of elote – yum!
We went on a Zabars shopping spree this week – so many delicious treats!
Recycle an unworn dress with this tutorial for turning an old dress into a maxi skirt. I may have to give this one a go.
Host an easy summer brunch and serve Basil Bloody Marys. I’m a sucker for a good Bloody Mary, and these come garnished with pepper jack cheese – sold!
Dress up your brunch table with a vintage seaside table setting – so pretty and colorful!
Here’s a sneak peek of a DIY project I’m working on – more details soon!
Apparently, you can use castor oil to create a DIY lash/eyebrow serum. I’m intrigued.

This Strawberry Coconut Smoothie looks delicious, and it’s pretty darn healthy, too.
Isn’t this courtyard pretty? I’m trying to figure out how I can get over the fence that surrounds it.
I must be on a strawberry-coconut kick, because these Roasted Strawberry and Toasted Coconut Popsicles are on my short list, too.
Here’s a great roundup of 25 DIY shorts for summer.
Just for fun … you must check out the hats from Royal Ascot’s Ladies Day.
