Sweet

tank: c/o Stacy Brown Designs, shorts: similar, shoes: sold out (love these!), necklace c/o Blue j Beads, clutch: GiGi New York, bangles: c/o Chloe + Isabel
Graphic tees are a a major trend -- visit any store and more than likely you'll find a tee or tank with words printed on it. I'm loving this one from Stacy Brown Designs -- and what's sweeter than peaches? I love how fun this tank is and it's perfect for summertime.
I paired my tee with a fun necklace from a friend of mine's jewelry line, Blue j Beads. A portion of each purchase goes towards Autism awareness, so you can fab jewelry that supports a great cause.

Trending: Crop Tops

If you couldn't tell from yesterday's post, I am loving crop tops. Not just any crop tops though -- when shopping, I had a few things in mind as I still wanted my outfits to have a classy vibe to them. With structure and a high neck, that can help balance the midriff. I also looked for tops that were longer as opposed to the bra top, because no matter how trendy it is, I just don't think I could pull off showing my entire stomach if it's not a swimsuit. I also looked for things to pair the tops with that were more high-waisted so that they could almost meet in the middle. True to form, I've now found a million and one tops that I would love to add to my closet.

P.S. How amazing is that Asos floral matching crop and skirt set?! To say I have fallen in love would probably be an understatement. Both the top and skirt are on my wanted list for sure.

Trending: The Chunky Heel

Louise Et Cie A trend I'm loving these days is the chunky-heeled sandal. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but now I'm totally embracing it. My mom found a pair the other day at Belk but when I looked online, they were no longer available. I'm obsessed, so I'll be on the hunt for them this week. If I find them, I'll be sure to share, though I'm loving the above Louise et Cie, too! I would love to have any number of these below. And speaking of shoes, any suggestions for shoe organization? Trying my hardest to get (and keep) my closet organized!

Red, White, and Denim

shorts: c/o Grace in LA, top: White House Black Market, sunglasses: Ray Ban, bracelets: Loren Hope and David Yurman

This 4th of July will be spent by the water, which I can't wait for. Whether it's a pool day or beach day, I'm excited for a few days on the coast + being able to celebrate our independence! Not only this weekend, but all summer long, I'm always looking for the perfect pair of shorts. Denim shorts are a major trend, and I found these fitting especially for the week of 4th of July. Perfect with a t-shirt or even pulled on over a swimsuit, these Grace in LA shorts definitely show off your American spirit.

Denim is often the hardest for me to find. I have a pair of J.Crew shorts that are my go-to for everyday wear, but here are some other favorites.

Trending: Stars + Stripes

Is is crazy to me that July is right around the corner! In just a little more than a week, I'll be at the beach celebrating our country's independence. Though the first week of summer was on Saturday, 4th of July really seems to represent summer.

I have a few fun ideas to keep my style festive during the holiday weekend, but I've found so many other fun options that will keep you thinking stars and stripes forever.

Trending + Giveaway

One of my weaknesses is jewelry. Whether it's a fun stack of bracelets or a dainty little necklace, I love that a simple piece of jewelry can add so much to an outfit. Though I often opt for more simple earrings, I love just about any kind of necklace.
Necklaces of all kinds are trending at the moment, and I have so many on my wish list (big surprise there). Statement necklaces, druzy necklaces, monogrammed necklaces . . . you name it, it's on trend at the moment. I love that there is such a variety of options out there because my mood definitely determines my accessories. I often choose simple pieces for work, but love throwing something big and fun on for a night out.
I would love to add any one of these necklaces to my jewelry closet. Yes, please.

If you're looking to add a new piece of jewelry to your collection, it's your lucky day. We are giving away this gorgeous J.Crew statement necklace. I, for one, would love to have it!
