About this list:

The big events (backyard barbecues, family picnics, block parties) and the small joys (star-gazing, catching fireflies, roasting marshmallows) of warmer weather are now within reach. Living in the suburbs need not be the dull affair some consider it to be . . . if you have the right attitude, good food and fun supplies.

Qualifications:

Former city slicker now living deep in the heart of suburbia

Women's Authentic Original Wedge

First to recommend

Description

Although the uppers are shiny and gold and playful, the base of this shoe is sturdy and steadfast, enabling you to venture as far and wide as your feet can take you. A great traveling shoe, as it can be primped up or dressed down.

WinkNYC: Belted Highwaisted Denim Shorts by Serfontaine

First to recommend

Description

I've never seen so many denim options available in my life as I have this season ! I love this high-waisted but not terribly tight style of these shorts. The self-belt can be removed for more elaborate or colorful accessorizing. Wear them with a blouse, a tee, a tank, a short blazer, over your bathing suit. Try them with flats, heels, sneakers or your favorite flops. Whatever you do, make them your own.

Lilly Pulitzer Women's Club Wedge

First to recommend

Description

If you aren't a fan of flip flops and flat sandals leaving you feeling, well, flat, then perhaps this summer wedge will work for you. With just a hint of gold trimming the linen heel and vamp, these are definitely a step up from rubber.

Steve and Barry's: Men's Polo Shirt by Wonderwall by Laird Hamilton

Laird's philosophy is "We are all equal before the wave." Thus, the name "Wonderwall" which he has chosen for his new line of surf and skate clothing for Steve and Barry's. Following in the footsteps of Sarah Jessica Parker and Stephon Marbury, Laird has decided to join the movement towards designing more affordable fashion for everyone. One of his new polos would be a fabulous Father's Day gift.

Wisteria: Recycled glass wine jugs

First to recommend

Description

These wine jugs are impressive individually or as a graduated set of small, medium and large. But I would love to see them filled with huge bunches of wild flowers throughout the summer. And then brought indoors for more decorating possibilities during the rest of the year. Inspired by the design of French wine jugs.

Terracotta Beehive Oven

First to recommend

Description

Grill everything from pizza to veggies to steak, and even bread within this outdoor oven. The outer walls of the "hive" are made of terra cotta, which keeps the oven relatively cool to the touch (and safe for your guests.) Good-looking, portable and efficient, this may be the best gift you could give a grilling aficionado. (i.e. Dad, Father-in-Law, Uncle)
