Tomorrow is Canada Day and I’m sure Canadians across the country are counting down the hours until it’s time for that delightful summer holiday to begin! If only the rain would let up where I live, tomorrow will be the perfect day for hanging out in the sun, enjoying some delicious summer fare (fresh fruits and veggies and barbecue, of course!) and resting and relaxing with friends and family. The picture above perfectly illustrates where I’d like to be tomorrow: poolside under the sun, with a fruity drink in one hand, a magazine in the other, and oh-so-comfortably ensconced in one of these chairs.

I’m loving these chairs. These bubble wicker chairs add so much style to outdoor living and can instantly turn your backyard into an effortlessly chic retreat. I love the orange and turquoise combination, too! How summery!  All pieces are constructed with a rust- and corrosion-proof aluminum frame and have a baked on enamel finish. They’re available in three different colours of wicker and a variety of fabric finishes, too. They don’t come cheap ($2,295.00 USD) but some things are worth the splurge!

If I were a rich girl … These absolutely gorgeous pieces from Anthropologie are simultaneously rustic and romantic and are enough to make me swoon. The prices are a little steep for my modest means but that doesn’t mean I can’t desire from afar. From left to right, here’s what I’m drooling over:

Battersea sofette
This statement piece has a hand-tufted back and seat and is made of a flax linen upholstery. Looks a little like something you’d find in grandma’s living room but retro never looked so good!
Price: $3,934.58

Cascara side table
Made of iron, MDF and brass, this rustic-looking, barrel-shaped side table is original and sure to be a conversation piece.
Price: $522.34

Dawn song rug
These beautiful rugs are a sure way to bring spring into your home. Pictured right, this robin egg blue rug features a mother robin feeding her young. Sweet. Made of tufted wool and rayon with a cotton backing.
Price: $391.10 to $1,965.98
