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? Where are you headed this summer? For more stylish posts, check out: stylish summer slides,the smocked tank you’ll wear everywhere, & colorful straw totes! Happy Styling!
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.
If you’re a fan of stylish entertainment, such as Sex & the City, …And Just Like That, Emily in Paris, & The Devil Wears Prada, then Netflix’s new film, The Perfect Find, starring Gabrielle Union, is just for you!
The romantics comedy centers on Union’s Jenna, who must rebuild her career in fashion at 40, but starts to fall for her frenemy boss’ son. Also in the film are Gina Torres, Keith Powers, & La La Anthony, all of whom bring their characters to life with the styling of costume designer Amit Gajwani & under the direction of Numa Perrier.
Take a look through the slideshow & gallery below for more of the gorgeous style inspiration from the film!
With all of the top shows wrapping up & rearing up this summer, all eyes are on AppleTV+ for when the critically-acclaimed drama The Morning Show returns on September 13th, starring & produced by Reese Witherspoon, as well as Jennifer Aniston. It’s Reese who’s taking the spotlight in the new August 2023 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, in an article written by Leah Chernikoff with images photographed by Cass Bird.
While it may be a Barbie summer, Hollywood’s most glamorous, international actresses have been traveling around the world to promote the seventh installment of Tom Cruise’s epic action thriller, Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One. However, post-Cannes, stars Vanessa Kirby, Pom Klementieff, Hayley Atwell, & Rebecca Ferguson have taken not only the film industry by storm, but the spotlight from the film with their talent & fashionable choices for a variety of premieres, including London & Seoul, as well as photo calls.

Fresh off the glamorous world premiere of Barbie, Ken is finally getting a chance in the limelight!
While the new Greta Gerwig-directed comedy totes Margot Robbie’s Barbie as the iconic powerhouse, it’s Ryan Gosling’s hilarious portrayal as Ken that is display receiving rave reviews, thanks in part of the just-released power ballad “Just Ken.”
While audiences know that Ryan can handle both singing & humor from his acclaimed roles in La La Land & Crazy, Stupid, Love., but the two-time Academy Award nominee takes his Ken-ergy to the next level!
2023 is Taylor Swift’s year & we just live in it. Not only is her tour dominating the summer, the multiple editions of Midnights have been dominating airwaves. It doesn’t end there either—Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) has just been re-released with “I Can See You (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)” as its lead single.
Accordingly, the official music video—written & directed by Taylor—stars Swiftie video favorites, including Joey King, Taylor Lautner, & Presley Cash in a thrilling spy adventure that fans are picking apart for possible Easter eggs.
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. How would you style this top? Which color do you like best? Where are you shopping for summer staples?

Grammy-winner Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts will be released in full for a moody & raw fall soundtrack. However, just this week, the first single & official music video for “Vampire” have hit the web, racking up over 21 million views!
Whether about a rumored breakup or the toxicity of the music industry, the song showcases the singer’s impressive vocal talents & steller songwriting. Additionally, the haunting music video fits the confusion & vulnerability within the track’s narrative.
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. How would you style these tops? Which colors do you like best? How often do you wear peplum?

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? For more stylish posts, check out: raffia sandals for under $15, cotton maxi dresses by Free Assembly, & new Joyspun pajama sets! Happy Styling!
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? For more stylish posts, check out: Henley pajama sets by Joyspun, linen tops for work & weekend, & beach totes for under $8! Happy Styling!
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.
Last night’s 2023 BET Awards honored Hollywood’s most accomplished & rising black film & television stars, in addition to music acts & more.

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!
