I doubt that I would ever think of painting a cottage these two colors. Still, the contrast between the Mediterranean blue and rusty brick red is certainly eye-catching, and there's something so innocent and playful about the combination. In fact, it almost seems as if odd, surprising colors should be de rigueur for Summer getaways.

This weekend, while shopping at the Alameda Flea Market, I nearly bought a beautiful vintage croquet set. Now, when I see how the set has been used in this space, I'm kicking myself for not making the purchase!
This foyer is practically bursting with Summer spirit.

500 Days of Summer doesn't make its debut in theaters until July 17, but I've already got an eye on the sets. Here, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt stand on a rooftop in full Summer style. Of course, the pair look quite dapper in a beautifully patterned sundress and a sharp suit, but it's the paper lanterns that complete the scene.

Friends of mine who've attended the Glastonbury Festival have raved about the experience and the music. Located at Worthy Farm in England, Glastonbury Festival attracts over 14,000 music fans, making it one of Europe's largest music festivals.
I'm really loving the cool Summer style of the festival's Tipi Field.

When it comes to pretty in pink, the Luscious Little Cottage on Tybee Island, GA, has it covered. This 1920s-era home was bought from its original owners by interior designer Jane Coslick, who wanted to preserve the cottage's feel and look.Just steps from Tybee beach, the one-room cottage has room to sleep three, while an outbuilding nicknamed The Roost accommodates an additional two visitors. The Roost was actually fashioned from a restored elevated ticket booth, and features twin beds crafted from Tybee driftwood.

While I wanted to love Bottle Shock, the film about California's vineyards featuring the blind Paris wine tasting of 1976, I had mixed feelings about the movie. However, I had nothing but love for the decidedly rustic digs that Sam (Rachel Taylor) inhabited on the Chateau Montelena vineyard.
While I can't imagine anyone actually living this exposed to the elements (at the very least some mosquito netting would've helped), I do love the overall effect of the building.

You and one other lucky CasaSugar reader could be the recipients of a $500 gift card from Crate and Barrel. The catch? Well, there's no catch, actually.
