In this month's Style Guide Challenge, we dove into summer with our theme
It's Hot! We had so many creative collections to choose from, but we both fell in love with this winning collection by Cinne of
by Cinne Worthington titled
HOT! off the Grill. Pulling out the grill and throwing on some juicy burgers (veggie or meat) is such a classic summertime event and a perfect starting point for curating a style guide. Cinne evokes not only a grillin' gathering (who wants to grill alone?), but she also pulls in the colors and patterns of "grilling" - very creative! Beautifully styled and balanced, Cinne has a natural eye for design and makes shopping on Etsy an artful experience. Congratulations Cinne!

, we wanted to highlight some of our favorites! Below is a Style Guide by Hana of
A Quiet Curiosity and is a playful approach to our theme
It's Hot. Hana has put together a shopping guide with each item playing off her title
Cool Cutouts and is such a fun way to express her creativity and showcase some "cool" Etsy finds! From jewelry, shoes, clothing to home decor - Hana has you covered! Loving this one, Hana!
Our next collection here titled
Cool Shade-Hot Summer is by Jill of
Be Something New. Jill looks to the tones of shade as inspiration for her style guide and pulls her collection together around the soft greys and white. We all know that the best place to be on a hot day is either in the water or in the shade - Jill brings us into the cooler side of a hot summer day with each item featured below. Feminine and modern, Jill presents a calming shopping guide for every woman to enjoy! Jewelry, clothing or home decor - what's your pick? Love the styling here, Jill!
Colors are just that much brighter when the sun is out and beaming. Maria of
O bliss jewelry takes that hot sun and translated it into a shopping guide with some bright and juicy colors! If you're a super fan of all things colorful, then you'll be sure to find something awesome in Maria's collection. Go bold with your home decor or your accessories - don't be shy of the "hot" colors of summer! Feels like diving into a fresh pool of bright sunshine - gorgeous finds, Maria!
Keeping with our tradition, we finish off our monthly Style Guide Challenges with a collection by our resident stylist Jenn of
Palimpsestic. Curating a theme based collection can be approached from so many different angles, but Jenn always adds her own quirky twist to her shopping guides. You can just feel her mind churning around the challenge theme and then smiling as she creatively pulls together her own interpretation. She always comes up with unique and beautifully balanced Style Guides and we look forward to seeing them all! It's always a joy to end our post with the spotlight on Jenn's angle - this month, we went with her collection titled
Icy Cold. What better way to cool down on a hot summer day than with something cool and refreshing? Just like Jenn ;-)
