Welcome to the week, friends! How was your weekend? I had a lovely one with the fam. We spent Saturday on the shores of Lake Michigan, digging big sand holes and riding on the truck/ship combo known as the Duck. Sunday we celebrated Rembrandt's birthday with a trip to one of our local art museums that was hosting a family day. <br />
<br />
Have you visited an art gallery or museum lately? Have you taken your children? I took my two little ladies yesterday, and we came with our sketchbooks and pencils, ready to capture some inspiration. They loved every moment, and we could have easily spent more than our 2.5 hours waltzing through the galleries. If you haven't read it yet, check out Gabby's post on <a href="http://www.designmom.com/2012/07/art-museums-kids/">visiting art with your kiddos</a>. Check the comments esp, great ways to get more out of the experience!<br />
<br />
Here are some great summer finds for your next trip to the art museum (or anywhere else wonderful this sunny season).<br />
<br />
Those <a href="http://www.garnethill.com/shoes-accessories/shoes/view-all-shoes/">shoes</a>: A nice cork wedge to help you go up and down those flights of stairs as you ponder whether the modern art or the kinesthetic sculpture garden or the Renaissance oils were REALLY your fave.<br />
<br />
These <a href="http://shop.stelladot.com/style/b2c_en_us/featured-shops/fall-2012-collection/new-romantics/geneve-lace-earrings-3763.html">earrings</a>: These lovelies are just the right amount of dangle mixed with a touch of sparkle.<br />
<br />
That <a href="http://www.garnethill.com/pima-mini-ruffle-knit-top/sale-clearance/womens-fashion/knit-tops-tees/245809?defattrib=&defattribvalue=&listIndex=15">flattering tank</a>: The levels of shirred fabric on this one compliment curves and the tone will coordinate with summer's great pops of color.<br />
<br />
This <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/95929?article=95929-K#article=95929-L">sweater</a> to keep you cozy: Not to be granny on you, but museums can get chilly so keep this bright mustard cardie in your purse or on top of the tank, just to show that you know how to mix it up with color.<br />
<br />
That <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=83610&vid=1&pid=294001&scid=294001012">leather</a> yumminess: This tote is supple, large, and can hold all the supplies you take into the museum and all the gifties you take home from the shop.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/cachet-wirebound-sketchbooks/">sketchbooks</a> and <a href="http://gifts.barnesandnoble.com/u/drawing-tools/379002971">pencils</a>: I find spiral-bounds to be child-friendly and ready to go anywhere they're needed. We stretched out on the floor right in front of our favorite paintings to capture the colors. These pencils are lead free, and they come in a CD case. Super handy and great quality for the price.<br />
<br />
That, that <a href="http://www.garnethill.com/lace-tiered-skirt/womens-fashion/skirts/view-all-skirts/236544?defattrib=&defattribvalue=&listIndex=10">skirt</a>: My fave piece is the amazing tiered lace skirt. I've seen lace detail a lot lately, and this lace is done well and wearable. It comes in two colors, and you'll have a tough time deciding which is more awesome.<br />
<br />
