SUMMER SUIT

Leifsdottir shorts via Anthropologie (old; similar here); forever 21 tank; Gap blazer (similar here and here); shoemint heels; Nosilla Vintage clubmasters; vintage clutch

Summer, Summer please don't go. Of course I wait until the end of this summer to wear this pair of shorts I purchased last summer and fall in love with them. I think this may have been wear number 4. I love them paired with a silky tank and blazer for a relaxed summer suit. 

IN THE NUDE

DVF Beyatta dress // Sunday in Brooklyn Astral skirt // Zara leather sandals // MAC lipstick in "Velvet Teddy" // Tibi cutout jacquard dress // Theory Simbra blouse // Catwalk 88 nude clubmasters // Essie in "Sand Tropez" // Topshop boyfriend blazer // J.Crew Janey flats // Elizabeth & James Katia shorts 

Other than gray, nude is my favorite neutral. I love how chic the color looks and how well it pairs with every other color. I especially love neon and nude together. 

POOL DAYS

July is flying by but there is still time left to hit the pool before summer ends. Here are my favorites for a great pool day.

SUMMER SOIREE

Nothing says "summer" like an outdoor dinner party. When the weather warms up, I love to get outside   to cook and eat. I also loved to host other people if I can. My ideal summer party consists of great food, bright colors, and and great conversation. Check out what would complete my summer get-together:  

bowls // pillow // cake stand // flatware // chair // sandals // maxi dress // glass // pitcher // napkins // bar cart

BACKPACKING

 I never used my backpack in school but, I definitely want one of these cool backpacks...

LWD

Leifsdottir dress (via Anthropologie) // Target sandals // Gap bag (very old!) // H&M sunglasses // vintage jewelry // Revlon "Really Red" lips 

I love dresses in the summer! This is the perfect summer dress. Linen, white, and a little quirky is exactly how I want my summer dress to be! I'll be wearing this beauty until it gets cool. Yes, I will wear it after Labor Day. 

NEON STEMS.

Gap pants // American Apparel tank // Forever 21 jacket // Target sandals // Anthropologie aviators // L'Oreal "Now You Sea Me" nail lacquer 

These neon chinos are sooo comfortable and bright. They are easily my favorite pants! I can wear them everywhere. I threw them on with a neutral tank and jacket for a busy Saturday back home! I am kind of loving olive green paired with neon yellow. I can see me wearing this color combo well into fall! 

TEE

Gap jeans // Hanes t-shirt // Gap tweed jacket // Zara heels // Aldo clutch // H&M sunglasses // Anthropologie earrings + bracelet 

I love a good white shirt. I own tons of white shirts in almost every style imaginable. My favorite has to be a plain white t-shirt. When it comes to the perfect white tee, I have always been a fan of Hanes t-shirts! They are light and comfortable and often in multi-packs. I've literally been a fan since college. You can throw them on with your favorite skirt or under an embellished jacket. I often opt for a boy's large because I love the slimmer cut. You should try it out and tell me what you think! 

SUMMER STAPLE

romper ASOS (also love this one) // blazer Gap ( really want this and this) // shoes Chinese Laundry // bracelets Anthropologie necklace + vintage bangles 

The weather this past weekend was perfect! When the summer rolls around I always want to be outside! This weekend I was able to hang out and enjoy the city and the beautiful sunshine. I got this romper a couple years ago and it's my go to piece when it's warm and I want to throw something on that can be dressed up or down. Plus, it has pockets which pretty much sells me on anything. The back is really low, so I like pairing it with a summery blazer. What's your summer staple?

SKIRT.

Skirt Jcrew ( loving this and this too!) // Tank + Blazer Gap // Shoes + Clutch Aldo // Earrings Anthropologie // Bracelets Vintage // Ring BCBG // Lips Revlon "Rose Velvet" 


I purchased this skirt when I was trying new silhouettes (like here). I had it for a while before I actually wore it because I thought the length was very awkward. I'm not the tallest girl and I thought it might shorten me too much! I must say I'm kind of obsessed with it now and wore it twice this past weekend. I think my gambles are paying off because I love them! 

COMFORT. ZONE.

Pants Anthropologie (also love these and a jumpsuit version) // Tank J.Crew // Clutch Vintage // Bracelets Target + Aldo // Rings BCBG + F21 //  Lips Revlon "Hot Coral"

Lately I've found myself buying clothes in silhouettes I don't normally wear. These palazzo pants can be filed away in that category! My best friend and I saw these on a girl in the mall and had to have them. We were lucky enough to find two pair in our size. They are literally the most comfortable pants I own and I'll be wearing them often. Well, that's if I ever get them back from my mother. 

MELLOW.

YELLOW. 

Trench Vest Old Navy (was an old jacket I got altered to be a vest) (similar here) // Tank J.Crew // Jeans 7FAM // Lace-up Sandals Chinese Laundry // Bracelets Anthropologie, F21 // Clutch Vintage
