While this shoe isn’t necessarily my style, I do love a fashionable flat in a neutral hue that offers styling versatility. Not to mention that the pointy toe elongates the leg line too!
One of my favorite summer purchases has to be an unexpected swim find, which has the ease of loungewear & versatility of athleisure for the pool or beach.
During a recent road trip to an out-of-state water park, I wore this with my swimsuit & shorts underneath during the drive & then between rides. I wish it was available in other colors as the white & metallic combination would be very chic. How would you style this piece? How many cover-up options do you have?

Barbie is everywhere these days & why shouldn’t she be? With the new Greta Gerwig-directed film about to hit theaters nationwide, it is a Barbie world! While we can’t all done look-alike dresses from the beloved doll, like Margot Robbie flawlessly does at major red carpet events, we can celebrate the style icon by Mattel with some affordable & inclusive gear that can be dressed up or down for any occasion, including when going to see the highly anticipated film that also stars Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, & more!
It’s not secret that white skirts, whether mini, midi, or maxi, are on trend for the summer time; however, inspiration from celebrity street style offers a variety of ways to wear this seasonal staple year-after-year.
Selena Gomez, Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift, Olivia Wilde, & Priyanka Chopra Jonas in white midi & maxi skirts
I love how it’s a lighter contrast to a heavier knit on a cool morning or evening, as well as a dressy way to coordinate a graphic tee or polish off a crop top for a special occasion. Not to mention, white-on-white monochrome is classic for the hotter days when you want to feel & look effortless. Here are some affordable & inclusive suggestions to get inspired by Selena, Katie, Taylor, Olivia, & Priyanka’s white skirt style.
Summer is the season of slides & flats, especially neutral & colorful pops to coordinate with any outfit. As you make more & more summer plans, staying comfortable in a low slide that can be styled many different ways is essential!
The tortoise detail on the buckle is by far my favorite part of these slides; however, the fabric also dresses them up for not only a fun weekend getaway, but also for a casual Friday at the office. I’m super excited that these sandals are currently marked down & might just get myself a pink pair! How would you style these flats? Which color do you like best? How often do you opt for slides?

During a recent jaunt to Kohl’s (with some Kohl’s cash to burn), I was pleasantly greeted with a smocked tank that can seamlessly be styled from day to night in a variety of ways. I bought the green & have already worn it with linen pants & ankle pants for work & weekend, loving the flowy silhouette.
While I can’t recommend this top enough, it is made from a rather sheer fabric, which is why I stayed away from buying the white. The square neckline is perfect for some shorter layered necklace or a long chain. Not to mention that this would look great tucked into shorts or paired with a mini, midi, or maxi skirt.

If there’s one silhouette that I love & will never stop wearing, it’s a peplum, which is both flattering & forgiving for any occasion. For my plus-size, curvier Style Darlings, I’ve found just the right top to pair with white ankle jeans & slides, a pencil skirt & stilettos, leggings & knee boots, lace short & wedges, or belted with a maxi skirt. Take a look at some colorful & affordable options!
I adore both of these options, even though I’m not usually one for a voluminous sleeve moment. For such an affordable price, it only makes sense to invest in multiple colors in these.

With all the necessities that go into planning a vacation, road trip, weekend getaway, or beach day, a sturdy & spacious tote is a must! Aside from a canvas find with a playful saying in it, consider crochet to accessorize your next summer adventure, especially with just under 16 inches in height & width!
The shoe of the season is a slide, which is available in multiple varieties this summer, including flower details, metallic tones, jewels a-plenty, & multiple straps. Additionally, to play up a “hardware” look, enter: the buckle.
With vacation plans booked & plenty of beach days ahead, a versatile, stylish, & affordable coverup is essential. While a classic, oversized button-down shirt is a classic choice, I love the idea of a caftan, as if it’s a maxi dress to keep you covered & cool.

In my continued pursuit for unique white & burgundy tops, I considered sleeve lengths of all styles, but struggled to find a well-fitting top that offered some sort of detail or interest beyond a basic tee, especially when I have been searching for something for work outfits & to pair with statement necklaces.
If interested in ordering these days, I’d recommend sizing up as I originally ordered XL, but then returned & repurchased XXL. I can’t wait to style these with fit & flare skirts, patterned bottoms, denim cut-offs, & pull-on pants. How would you style these tops? Which color do you like best? How do you like to wear lace?

With graduations, family parties, & all sorts of outdoor events coming up, a neutral, but glam pair of sandals are perfect to move from day to night & weekday to weekend.
I love the raffia texture of these sandals, reminiscent of the raffia flats I recently posted about, & it’s a perfect combination with the jewels that will dress up any look.
They’re lovely with my chambray dress, though a bit snug on my average foot around the ankles & across the top (where the jewels are). I wish these were also available with different jewel colors, but I’m looking forward to breaking these out with a variety of sundress looks & summer outfits. How would you style these shoes?

With temperatures rising, I’m always looking for comfortable & lightweight clothing to wear that’s stylish & special. Usually, I downplay my accessories game since I don’t like the feeling of various metals on my skin when spending the day outside in the sun. However, there’s a chic ease of a bracelet with a maxi dress & wedges, tank & linen shorts, or blouse & joggers, which is why I’m recommending these fabulous finds:
All over social media, I’m seeing sundress after sundress in bright, playful colors in linen, cotton, & other fabric blends, inspiring shoppers to style up looks for baby showers, graduation parties, & daytime weddings. However, this particular dress in selling out fast!
I love the green option—being my favorite color—but also the stripes & florals are definitely popular for a reason. Any of these dresses will look fabulous with colorful beads, raffia earrings, or stacked bangles, as well as with a crochet cardigan & braided slides.
Just like my penchant for the same clothing items in multiple colors & patterns, jewelry in varying metal tones is a must-have, especially when recently & deeply discounted. This time of year is perfect to gift baubles to a bride-to-be, recent graduate, or bestie for a birthday in chic white gold, classic yellow gold, or (my favorite) rose gold. These 5 picks from Walmart are $24.99 & under—marked down from $69.00 & up, & I can’t decide which are my favorites!
Last summer, my love for linen (& caring for linen) began with these tanks, which are available currently for linen shorts or wide leg pants, denim cut-offs, peasant skirts, or ankle pants.
I love the ease & loose fit of these tops, along with the classic neckline. These are summer staples for me on weekends when my style priority is comfort. How would you style these tops?

While a loose-fitting t-shirts can be styled up & worn casually all summer long, a smocked top in a flattering silhouette adds a feminine touch when heading out to a concert, beachfront walk at sunrise, or family picnic.

Not to mention, one of the trendiest textures for accessories is raffia, which makes a bold & playful statement all season long.
During a recent pursuit of burgundy tops (for school spirit days next semester), I came across an Amazon retailer that offers a stylish top in 27 varieties. As I plan my summer wardrobe, vacation ensembles, & filter out older pieces to donate, I’m always on the hunt for some staple stand-by pieces for upcoming busy weeks & weekends.
I have already ordered the burgundy, black, Kelly green, & cobalt blue, along with 2 of the printed varieties. They run true to size & I love how they can be styled with jeans, a pencil skirt, linen shorts, wide leg palazzo pants, faux leather pants, or ankle pants for any time of the year. Also, I’m excited to style these up with drop earrings or a statement necklace, as well as cluster studs & charm bracelets.
Deals on seasonal staples aren’t that hard to come by, but one that’s a can’t miss is a quality rib tank top full of styling possibility—with linen shorts & slides, a midi skirt & statement necklace, a button down shirt & cut off jeans, a tailored blazer & pencil skirt, & more!
