Camo Green


Hope your weekend is of to a great start, mine definitely started in an energetic mode! My favorite way to pair skinny bottoms is with a loose top, and visa-versa, I like the opposite function of tight and loose, I've also used the same fit all around, but I tend to prefer the opposites. I've always liked jeans, but I have to admit that they do come in second place to shorts, I'm a serious shorts aficionado. These pants were a great score for my closet, they function as jeans because they're super versatile, but in a cooler way and it's the perfect way to give them a rest. I'm a huge bagaholic, so when I got this one as a gift, I instantly fell inlove with its quirky shape and color, and thought that the neon trimmings were the coolest details... remember it's always in the details! Hope you like this looks!

The Full Skirt




Full skirts can sometimes be tricky to pull of; they can easily be one step away from channeling an episode from Little House on the Prairie. The trick in making this skirt look super chic is by pairing it with high heels or wedges, because they usually end a couple on inches below your knee or they may even be longer, making you seem shorter. If you're really tall you probably won't have trouble with the stated earlier, but if you're short this rule is a must. Pairing this skirt with an airy tank or cami gives for a really nice easy going look, perfect for summer. I kept my look with neutral tones, but a bright color would've been a great compliment to the look! Hope you like this look!

Character


Finally, I can say that today was a cooler day, but it did have its tradeoffs, at about 7:30 AM it was already beginning to rain. Even though it was a pretty gloomy day I have to say that with this type of weather was the only way I could have pulled of a skinny jeans look. I chose this really simple blouse, which is actually a great piece for summer because of its versatility, it will look well with shorts, but it will also look great with a dressier skirt. I've learned with time that when it rains it's sometimes better to be walking in high heels because you don't get your toes or shoes wet as you would with ballet flats, so these cut out booties were the perfect selection. I love simple looks that have character, but aren't over the top and that's really the best choice for gloomy days.Hope you like this look.

A Leopard Print Day


There are moments when just an animal print look will work, and today was definitely one of those moments. I have to admit, I used to be pretty intimated by animal print, and specifically huge amounts... aka this dress, but now I love them. This dress is the perfect match for the print because of its classy shape, it's easy to cross the tacky line with animal print, so be sure about the piece. I added the belt to help create some shape and add a casual touch. I know how difficult it is to dress really chic and pretty when you're just about to melt, but having pieces like this dress will be your lifesavers for those super extreme hot days! Hope you like this look!

Denim for the Weekend



I've been on a denim uniform lately, mixing and matching denim shirts with jeans, black jeans and shorts. Today, these pictures were snapped right before heading off to enjoy the weekend, and the look pretty much summarizes the weekend... relaxing next to the beach. Since I've been wearing denim almost nonstop this summer, I wanted to add something different to the look, so I went for my leopard print loafers. My instinct was to use my leather ballerina flats, but when I saw the effect of unexpectedness the loafers gave the look I decided to leave my instincts aside. Even though both shades of denim are on the lighter wash, the shorts are slightly darker and also have the ripped effect, which creates some differentiation between the top and the bottom, a must have in pulling off the denim on denim look. I promise that the next post will have nothing to do with denim! Hope you like this post and enjoy your weekend!

Blue & Black Denim


Combining a light washed denim blouse with black skinny jeans and statement jewelry automatically ups the sophistication factor in this look. The key in pulling off a denim blouse is having it be slightly oversized for a cool and modern take on what would remind us of our years of dressing like cowboys. This would be a perfect summer office look, maybe not for a traditional office setting, but super appropriate for a more laid back/artistic vibe. You could switch the high pumps for some cool loafers and give the look a whole other style, more casual, but still really chic with a slight parisian flair. What's your summer wardrobe looking like?

Easy Sunday


I love when Sunday's are simple and easy going, and you're able to enjoy the day, not necessarily doing anything out of the ordinary, but actually being with the people that mean the most to you. Today I went for a laid back, slightly bohemian look, with ripped shorts, white blouse and one of my favorite go to pieces for summer, this Zara coverup. I'm obsessed with Tory Burch's ballerinas for my everyday, go anywhere shoe, and having them in leather or a tan color makes the possibilities endless in terms of looks. Pairing this coverup can sometimes be tricky, so I always choose to go with a simple solid color top underneath and let the coverup be the statement piece. On weekends I usually tend to prefer no fuss looks, the ones you feel the most comfortable in, and these usually tend to say more about yourself than any other. Hope you enjoyed your Sunday!

Classic Combination


There's something just so classy about the combination of jeans and a white top, it's one of those things that you know will look great. When it comes to button blouses I love Ralph Lauren's traditional fit, I usually choose them one size larger of what I actually am because I prefer them to be loose and really like how they look. I'm really into ripped cuffed jeans for summer, so it was only natural that I matched these two together. I loved how this casual look came out,it's a traditional look but with a really laid back, young twist to it. I decided to pair the look with strappy sandals, but it would also look amazing with some cool loafers for a more versatile look, I'm really into these Tory Burch loafers. What are you sporting for these summer days?

Denim on Denim


A great denim shirt is a must have in any closet, and particularly useful during summer days. This one, I've used as a cover up for the beach, paired with shorts for walks and dressed it up more (like this look). This blouse is from Old Navy and it was a great buy, it has an amazing fit, it's super comfortable and really airy, which is crucial for warm days; I have to give kudos to my boyfriend who actually spotted it, gotta love him. When it comes to denim on denim I'm all in for playing with washes, I'm not too fond of matchy, matchy, so I do prefer mixing darker hues with lighter ones. Denim blouses can work as neutrals, so you can pair them with denim jeans, go for black ones for a more dressed up version or pair it with white shorts, or really any colored bottom for a great crisp summer look. Hope you like this look.

Summer Essentials



Every time sumer comes around I immediately think I need a new swimsuit, I try to analyze the situation and make it seem a logical suggestion since I do wear them all year round... This here would be my ideal summer outfit for a nice day at the beach and walking around. I have such a soft spot for beautiful printed bikinis that this Zimmermann swimsuit would be a dream to own. When it comes to coverups I love wearing comfortable and loose, this Billabong poncho is the perfect option, besides that I'm seriously obsessed with ponchos, it's great that you get to cover up, but still show your bikini while rocking a surfer chic style. These oversized Karen Walker cat-eye shades are great way to avoid the sun and they're plastic so the salt water won't ruin them and they have an ideal color. I'm all about fringe and tassels right now, so these Zara sandals and this Tory Burch bag are perfect accessories for the summer in general and they have a killer boho/surfer chic style going for them. Finally, I'm not one to necessarily stock up on jewelry when I'm going to the beach so a simple long necklace is more than enough in my eyes, this Ippolita one is a great example. Can't wait for long summer days at the beach... What are your  plans for this summer?
