Summer Style: Paper Lanterns in 500 Days of Summer
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.
Nice and New: India Rose Fabric Lanterns
Don't get me wrong: white paper lanterns will never lose their cool in my book. But that doesn't mean I don't crave a little color and pattern every now and then, too. Today I have a soft spot for the new India Rose Fabric Lanterns ($35-43), which are made of 100 percent cotton with a batik polka dot pattern in brown, green, and sky blue.
Summer Style: Don't Forget the Lanterns
One of the most economical and pretty ways that you can decorate your outside space is with colorful paper lanterns. Not only are they inexpensive, they also look great during every hour of your party. If you choose brightly colored lanterns, like the ones shown here, they'll create a huge color splash during the day.
Roundup: Glass Lighting in the Garden
Recently, I showed you some great options in metal lanterns to help enhance your home's Summer Style. Well, after seeing this lovely patio photo, I was inspired to find some pretty choices for you in glass as well. Who knows, maybe with a few more glass lanterns or hurricanes, your home's photos will win my Summer Style contest.
Casa Verde: Recycled Lanterns
These recycled iron lanterns ($14.95) from CB2 are darn cute. They're made from iron sheet brand packaging that still shows its original logos, type, colors, and patterns. They would look lovely displayed in multiples, strung across the perimeter of a backyard or at a garden party, and I think these lanterns would also complement a beautiful ethnic print dress.
Casa Link: Repurposed Lanterns
Danny Seo shares a new use for these lanterns that were left over from a Country Home shoot. He said he got tired of using them for candles, so he came up with another unique use instead.

Steal of the Day: Cost Plus World Market Star Lantern
The Red Star Lantern (originally $19.99, on sale for $14.99) from Cost Plus World Market would look lovely hung in multiples on an ornament-covered porch or from the branches of a front-yard evergreen. Illuminated from within by a tea light, the cutouts in this lantern will cast playful patterns along whatever interior or exterior landscape from which you choose to hang it.
Help Me Find This Lamp
This Fall when I was staying at Seven Pines, an historic fishing lodge in Wisconsin, I kind of fell in love with this cute little lantern. At the lodge it was wired into the (ancient) electrical system, but I'd be happy to have a similar one that only uses candles.
Dear Casa readers, can you find a similar one for me?

Jack-o'-Lanterns That Will Make You Glow
When it comes to jack-o'-lanterns, some of us enjoy carving a simple, toothy grin, while others go all out with templates, exacto knives, and downloadable patterns. I've found a mix of both to inspire your jack-o'-lantern creations this Halloween. These carved pumpkins look so good, they'll even add curb appeal when you display them on your porch!
