Selina provides ample inspiration and practical suggestions for transforming a yard, courtyard, deck, porch, or even just a balcony into a lush outdoor room that’s perfect for lounging, relaxing, and entertaining. She also goes further afield, with dozens of ideas for simple yet stylish picnics, beach BBQs, barn dances, and block parties. Selina starts by showcasing her Outside Inspirations in the form of flowers, lighting, fabrics, and decorations. She then focuses on beautifying every aspect of outdoor living, from supper alfresco to restoring an old travel trailer. Easy-to-follow step-by-step crafting projects include hand-crafted floor cushions, using vintage and salvaged items as garden furniture and planters, creating a picnic hamper from an old suitcase, beautiful ideas for posies and garlands, and even a homemade tepee to give shade on sunny afternoons or shelter when you’re sleeping out beneath the stars. In addition, “Style Tips” and “Selina Loves...” sections are dotted throughout, full of inspiring suggestions for not only beautiful living outdoors but also ways in which the outside can be brought in.

Discover why Selena, the Queen of Tejano music, became one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the twentieth century! As a young girl, Selena Quintanilla sang in a band called Selena y Los Dinos with her brother and sister. The family performed at fairs, weddings, quinceañeras, and on street corners in their native Texas. Selena learned how to sing in Spanish and soon became hugely popular within the Latino community--so much so that she became the best-selling Latin artist of the 1990s. Selena was poised to be a great success, but her life was cut short after being fatally wounded by the president of her fan club. Selena's contributions to music and fashion during her life made her one of the top Latin musicians in the 1990s, and readers will want to know more about the woman who introduced the world to Tejano music.
