Wow – June. The summer season is officially here! It’s time to sit back and relax and we couldn’t be happier about it. Need some new blogs to add to your weekend {or daily!} reading? We couldn’t get enough of the following five inspiring blogs:

What does living over 10 years in the Big Apple look like? Since most people never cross that marker in the concrete jungle, it’s hard to say, but if we had to guess, it looks a lot like THIS blog. Appropriately named, Decade– stylish, edgy, confident and SO New York, illustrator Bernadette Pascua takes us through her latest fashion editorials as a stylist {she styled the above image- bananas!}, to her latest {and necessary!} purchases, to apartments found in far away corners of the web.

It would be a tragedy if the language barrier kept us from checking out international blogs. It would mean we’d lose out on enjoying gems like Relleo Mein. This food blog epitomizes a picture being worth a thousand words. We can semi-translate the recipes {sadly, Google Translate isn’t always as good as it thinks it is!}, but really, we’re not reading this blog to make the dishes- we come for the pretty and the pretty we get! Dessert and bread lovers {a.k.a. everyone with eyes and a stomach!}, check this blog out- it’s packed with the not-so good for you food!

You definitely have to be connected to fashion to rock BASIC outfits and still make heads turn. And we’re pretty confident that’s exactly what Sietske, the blogger behind Connected to Fashion, does. She strips down to the core pieces of her closet in the most fashion forward way. Have jeans and a tee ever looked so good? Probs not.

Share Design is a great source for all of you design junkies out there. It’s much like an Apartment Therapy or Design Milk- not your typical personal blog, but a go-to place for that amazing house tour you’ve been looking for, the latest trends showcased at design conferences and the “It” wallpaper of the season. We usually like to peruse it to bank design inspiration and pin, pin, pin!

Interesting layouts and avant fashion lines are what Lawn Party is all about- think brands that often go overlooked: Seaworthy, Kieley Kimmel, Giant Lion and Ulla Johnson. If those names are new to you, then this blog is exactly where you need to be. We’re constantly being versed on hot {new to us!} designers and being reminded of the lines we haven’t checked on this season, but need to! This blog is kind of like knowing the questions to a big test beforehand- it’s your one-up, your answer. All fashion and jewelry lovers- specifically the fashion students and designers- you’re welcome.

Was there a blog that completely moved you this month? Maybe it was a heartfelt cry into the cyberworld? A beautifully styled dinner party with friends? A creative and exciting moodboard? We want to know where you found it!

Go on, share away- what were the blogs you loved this month?
