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.
‘Tis the season for sundresses! Whether you’re trying to beat the heat or stay stylish, there are so many options right now that can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion. Take a look through these 5 fashionable, affordable, & inclusive dresses to build your next look!
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? How often do you wear t-strap sandals? Where are you shopping for summer footwear?

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.

English actress Emily Blunt takes over Harper’s BazaarUK for the July 2023 issue, displaying all the poise, charm, & humor we adore in her complex & amicable on-screen characters. However, now while promoting her latest film Oppenheimer, due out on July 21st, the award-winning star & producer discusses her rise to fame, life in Brooklyn with husband John Krasinski, the dual roles women play on & off camera, new project jitters, & her professional & personal insecurities, in the article written by Frances Hedges.
As temperatures rise & summer plans are made, cute & functional swimwear is necessary for a fun time! Aside from a swimsuit that I’m feeling confident in, I love a cover-up that doubles in style & purpose, like a printed dress that can go from poolside to the next destination.
I love the fruity option most, especially with sparkly slides & a chunky bangle. Not to mention that a little chain link belt would easily transform this cover-up into a stylish mini dress.
Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence is returning to the big screen for the first time in years with her hilarious & raunchy new comedy No Hard Feelings; however, the actress’ style is no laughing matter as her luxurious take on minimalism is a breath of fresh air amid all the naked dresses on the red carpet these days.
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!
Sometimes, the most statement-making jewels don’t include any sparkles or gemstones. I love a strong piece on gold, silver, or rose as a neutral against brighter pieces like a red blouse, purple dress, or green sweater.
SHOP:floral earrings @LOFT (on sale: $24.99, use code: CYBER for extra 50% off).
Depending on the look you’re going for, I wouldn’t recommend wearing these pieces together, but they’re perfect with more subtle accessories for any occasion any time of year, including a summer wedding, weekend gathering with friends, or date night.
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.

Sometimes the hardest part of a day at the beach is planning what to bring. Having not only a stylish, but spacious bag to carry all your beach essentials in makes all the difference. Depending on your company or destination, you may want some options in your summer accessories arsenal.

Statement jewelry may not be a go-to for every shopper, but the color combinations & shapes are hard to pass by, especially since summer means wedding season.

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?

Not to mention, one of the trendiest textures for accessories is raffia, which makes a bold & playful statement all season long.
Tonight’s Tony Awards have been an exciting & surprising night that celebrates the best of Broadway, but not until after the elegant & bold red carpet that took place.

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.
