pearly white.

(if there is one thing i cannot live without during the summer, it is my favorite white skinny denim jeans. seriously, a great fitting pair of white denim is a spring/summer staple and every girl should have at least one pair. casual friday? wear a button-up denim shirt and strappy sandals for a j.crew-esque look that is clean and crisp. night out on the town? simply stand in front of your closet, close your eyes, and pick any blouse. boom! it is instantly a winner because white denim makes anything look good. just pack a tide pen to keep those pants pretty!)


You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!

southern charm.

(there isn’t anything much sweeter than southern charm…except for maybe these scalloped floral shorts. floral has been a must have this season and the combination of colors in these patterned shorts is absolutely adorable. a loose, bright blouse brings balance and boldness to these high-waisted shorts. whether you choose strappy sandals, wedges, or cowboy boots, there is one thing for sure…this look is downright darlin’, ya’ll!)


Life’s too short
to wear boring clothes.

pretty as a peach.

(summer is my favorite season for many reasons and right at the top of my list of reasons why is COLOR. from mixing and matching bathing suit pieces to picking out my new favorite essie polish, summertime shades never disappoint. and even though you can wear color in the dreary months, it is much more fun when the weather is warm and the sun is shining. during the summer, it becomes almost impossible not to be stylish. all you need is a sundress that shows off your tan and a great pair of sandals!)


Times are hard,
so we have to use clothes
to have some fun.

master of mixology.

(one of the trendiest trends this season has been mixing prints. some of the most popular combinations have been floral/stripes, leopard/polka dots, and stripes/polka dots. it is actually very simple to become a master of mixology because you can literally pick any two patterns in your closet and pair them together. bring balance by choosing coordinating colors, such as a simple black/white tee and vibrant red/yellow polka dot jeans. incorporate nude, gold, and black to finalize this look and be a combination champion)


Buy less. Choose well. -Vivienne Westwood

a hint of mint.

(mint is everywhere this season and i am loving it! mint is the perfect spring/summer neutral and there are an endless amount of ways to style this shade. for a comfy, casual look, a pair of relaxed fit shorts is the easiest and most versatile option. create an effortlessly chic outfit with a grey/white striped, cropped tee, neon skinny belt, and gold sandals…a stylishly simple look for the sunny days ahead!)
