Even though a wedge isn’t exclusive to summer, it’s a staple that is available in a variety of styles & colors, many of which are neutral for any summer outfit. Crochet, raffia, & basket weave details offer a contrast in textures against the season’s boldest prints & neon hues.
The platform espadrille is so pretty, especially when coordinated with a floral or linen look. how would you style these shoes? How often do you wear espadrilles in the summer?

Summer is the perfect time of year to play up color in your accessories, whether you’re wearing a maxi dress, printed romper, off-the-shoulder top & linen shorts, or a t-shirt & jeans. 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!
The time is now to hop aboard the Kohl’s train with their major clearance blowouts, Kohl’s Cash (if you have it), & summer sales, including some must-have accessories to wear all year long. One of my favorite fashion jewelry brands, LC Lauren Conrad, knows a thing or two about chic subtlety when it comes to jewelry for special occasions, a professional look, or for the everyday outfit.
If a dress, top, pants, or jacket has some stretch to it, I’m all about it. In every day life with work & family, I don’t have the patience to feel constricted in my clothing, especially in summer. A smocked bust or detail in a dress makes all the difference, especially for curvier women.
I love the pop of color in the turquoise & the chic simplicity of the leopard print. I’m torn about which one to wear to my daughter’s preschool graduation, but I know I’ll get a lot of stylish use out of both this season. Not to mention, good on Target for not only the style variety, but also the vast size range for a classic summer dress!
As I continue to expand my sleepwear & loungewear wardrobe, I love finding pieces that seamlessly work for both parts of my life. When it comes to linen, I even hope that a piece will coordinate for an office summer look. As much as I do rely on neutrals for this time of year to offset with a pop of color, I’m also very much into pink bottoms!
Recently, I bought the pink pair on a whim without a sale & I’m so glad I did. the only thing to consider with these pants is that the linen is very lightweight & you should wear flesh-tone underwear to avoid any see-through moments. Currently, I have ordered the blue pair as well.
One of my favorite buy-one-in-every-color finds has expanded with another variety. This time, a blouse with so much styling potential, is available in black & ivory to pair seamlessly with so many different bottoms, but also a printed blazer, denim jacket, flyaway cardigan, & embellished bolero.
I’m making a promise to wear as many skirts as I can this summer, especially since I’ve been guilty of neglecting them. However, to do that, I need to ensure that I have the right tops to wear since I’m considering these skirts for my daily summer classes, starting on Wednesday. It’s just my luck that New York & Company had these:
While I love the color variety, I do wish there was a red, navy, & cobalt option. Also, as the retailer has been offering more inclusive sizes, this top isn’t available beyond a XXL. How would you style this top? Which color do you like the best? How often do you wear a flutter sleeve?

The gorgeous red carpet fashion at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival continues to inspire, baffle, & make giddy the internet; however, with naked dresses galore, architectural designs, elegant trains, & plenty of daring cuts, there’s so much to buzz about, including some of my recent favorites, such as model Winnie Harlow adding a modern twist to classic gowns, Asteroid City star Scarlett Johansson in a Prada throwback, Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeneyode to baby blue, & Kate Beckinsale’s drama!

Now that spring has sprung & 2 local trips are planned between now & early June, it’s time I start looking ahead to summer—in style! While linen does wrinkle & require care when washing, it is a breathable, comfortable, & classic material for a dress. Even better, a flattering & inclusive dress that can be styled up or worn casually.
My favorite is the green, but I did recently get the green eyelet dress I posted about back in February, so I think the blue (navy) will be a formidable option. I do wish there was a thicker strap, but the puckering across the waist is so flattering.
It’s taken me a while to hop aboard the puff sleeve trend train, but as these gorgeous spring styles are rolling into my ‘Gram (@styledarlingdaily), I can’t help but think about all of the styling options!
I’m nuts for the minty ‘agave’ top, especially with tropical linen shorts & neutral mules for vacation, windowpane trousers & block heels for work, a pleated midi skirt & ballet flats for a family party, or jeans & sneakers on the weekends.
Let’s all give it up for the one & only Sofia Vergara who got denim joggers right! The actress-turned-fashionista has nailed it when it comes to a combination of comfortable, stylish, & affordable pull- on jeans with a joggers twist. I can’t wait to wear them all the time, especially since I haven’t worn jeans since before my pregnancy in 2018 started to show!
At the recommendation of another blogger, I ordered these in the lightest Bel Air wash, only because the darker Oceana wash was sold out in my size; however, now that I’m in love with his comfortable & trendy these are, I’ve already ordered the Trinity wash before it’s too late!
With all of the great end-of-the-season sales, I’m reveling in the final days of luxe, winter textures & deep, rich colors. Velvet has had a resurgence in all forms, especially when it comes to pieces that can work for both loungewear & work.
Try pairing this with plaid pants, faux leather leggings, dark denim jeans, wide-leg satin pants, or joggers. Also, the neckline is perfect for layered necklaces or a bold statement piece. I wish this too was available in other colors, but I guess that’s what happens when it comes to final sale items.
Walmart is really stepping up their pajama game with the Joyspun brand, which also now includes adorable sets in fun patterns, if you’re in need of sprucing up your sleepwear options!
SHOP:Joyspun knit notch collar top & capris 2-piece set in dark navy lemon, black soot, completely pink dot, lavender touch tile, peach cobbler floral, multi stripe, neela blue stripe, & neela blue travel @Walmart ($16.98, available in sizes S-3X).
I’m not a big fan of button-downs at night, but the patterns on these sets, especially the lemon & blue travel options, have me excited for warmer weather nights!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Style Darlings! To bring a—temporary—close to all the loved-themed goods, I wanted to post a reminder that self-love, in whatever form works for you, is the best way to honor yourself so that you can love others.
For the full-time work week, more than half the week includes a 3-piece outfit topped by a cardigan. This means that I need OPTIONS! My go-to store for cardigans of all kinds (that are also quality) is New York & Company. I miss their stores so much, but the variety of EVERYTHING on their website is making due—obviously if you’ve seen my cardigan collection.
Now is the time of year that the winter must-haves are getting marked down to make wave for stylish spring duds, which brings me to post about these $10 long-sleeve cardigans!
Even though the holidays are over & everything is all hearts now for Valentine’s Day, I’m a sucker for sparkle & even stars on sweaters. Also, plenty of stores are bursting with spring-ready items, which means that there’s still prime time to get a great deal on final sale pieces, especially neutral cardigans that will jazz up any look.
SHOP: star sequin v-neck sweater in beige melange & charcoal @LOFT (on sale: $59.88, extra 60% off with code: LOVE, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL). After the code, they come out to under $24!
I have both of these & can’t wait to pair them with my printed trousers, in windowpane or houndstooth, along with brighter contrasting pieces in red, purple, or magenta. Since cardigans—especially sparkly ones—are my ultimate style weakness, I can’t wait to wear these over & over again, maybe even on date night with a metallic shell & faux leather leggings, like these:

British fashion legend Vivienne Westwood passed away today at the age of 81. Her career began in the 1970s, proving relevant every decade with its blatantly refreshing combination of punk meets glam. Westwood’s signature corseted design with a deconstructed sweetheart neckline has drawn the attention of celebrity A-listers for good reason, especially as many stars have returned to the label time & time again, including Euphoria’s Zendaya, singer Gwen Stefani, Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain, The Crown’s Helena Bonham-Carter, Wednesday actress Gwendoline Christie, the always stylish Kate Beckinsale, Disenchanted star Amy Adams, The Great lead Elle Fanning, pop singer Katy Perry, Westworld actress Thandiwe Newton, & of course, Sarah Jessica Parker’s iconic Carrie Bradshaw in her gown from the Sex & the City film, which reappears in the upcoming second season of And Just Like That.
