Summer Blaze


Summer can feel as hot as blazes! But just like I shared with you last week about dressing up a pair of shorts here on this post, you can still stay cool and look chic.

Shorts by nature are casual so when you contrast with dressier tops you create a nice modern balance.

Blazers can often convey a heavier, and sometimes stuffy vibe.  But in lighter fabrics and colors they won't weigh you down but simply add structure and shape to your body/outfit. Not all blazers are created equal, the key is in the details.  Functional cuff buttons allow you to roll up the sleeves for a more relaxed look.

Keep your underpinning loose and airy such as a camisole or cotton tee.  You can showcase even more of your personality with a graphic tee.

Same goes for shorts.  If you're more of a preppy gal opt for colored, printed or striped shorts, if you're more casual/sporty opt for distressed denim and if you are on the classic side of style choose a high waist short in a neutral shade.

Accessorizing with dainty gold jewelry adds just the right sprinkle of shine and doesn't overwhelm the overall look.

Mixing super casual pieces with dressier pieces not only allows for versatility of your wardrobe but presents a modern style that's worth admiration.

Chartreuse & Checks


Warning:  My gingham game is strong this season #noshame

These pants are in my favorite fit! I like them so much I've collected 6 pairs (some solids some prints).  They sit perfect on my waist and in a tailored ankle length are perfect for flats and heels.

This gingham pair is so fun for Spring/Summer.  I love that it's navy, my favorite neutral, and that the print isn't too small or big.  I wanted to pair them with a fun color so I went with chartreuse.  Think of it as lemon-lime.  I actually painted my sunroom chartreuse.  I really need to get around to posting more of my home design!

You gals know I'm all about white and a white blazer really brightens and compliments any color or print.  While I haven't worn this blazer in real life because it's not quite time (after Easter gals!) it's a sophisticated staple for Summer.

You're going to see a whole lot more gingham in the upcoming weeks with lots of fun colors and styles :)




Functional cuff buttons are a must for my blazers!  They add detail and allow for cuffing.  It adds a fun casual element to let the lining show.
