Summer Sunnies

Summer is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean that the sun is no longer shining.

Here are my two most swoon-worthy pairs to say so long summer, and hello to fall.

 

I almost fell out when I saw these GORGEOUS glasses by Dior.  When I make it big, after I buy my first Chloe bag, these sunglasses will be the next purchase. 

 

These Sunday Somewhere glasses made their way into my collection and I am in LOVE. They are so cute and classy, I think I must get rid of all of my other sunglasses!

Summer Safari

 

The safari trend is the perfect transition from Summer to Fall. With neutral colors, but light weight materials, this fashion will take you from hot summer nights into cool autumn weekends.

The new safari takes the ever popular exotic trend and incorporates it into intricate detailing. Exotic prints are and accessory rather than front and center. Neutral colors like beige, brown and tan should sit as the backdrop and cheetah, snake and tortoise shell are featured on belts, straps, and all of your favorite accessories.

Summer Nail Trends

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that nail art is THE craze right now. From texture to 3d bows, to intricate designs, nail art is here to stay.

Here are some of my favorite nail trends for summer:

Black and white: from clothes to shoes, to nails, Black and white is carrying into the summer.

Statement nails and chevron:  Cheveron is probably one of the hottest trends right now and looks awesome when worn as a statement nail with a more toned down color

Ombre: you can do any mixture of colors but this light to dark, or two tone trend is a must have.

 

Paint splatter: It looks fun and artsy and will draw attention from tons of admirers.

 Pastel: these subdued colors will have you feeling pretty in no time.

 

Nautical:  It's only natural to think of playing in the water when it comes to summer. Try out a nautical inspired print like anchors, stripes and sailboats for this trend.

Summer essentials

Summer is quickly approaching and as the weather is warming up, here are my summer must-haves.

Clothing- A great pair of crisp white shorts, loose flowy tops in jersey fabrics, a great solid maxi. These three items can be worn casual or dressed up quickly with a change of shoes and jewelry. Bikinis are great to mix and match your favorite styles year after year. I always shop the clearance rack off season so I have a ton of different combinations to use the next year.

Accessories- a tote, throw all of your items in for the pool or beach, or use it for your everyday bag. Sandals- this nude pair from Diba true comes with bright piping that can be worn with almost any outfit. Don't forget about a hat and sunnies for sun protection.

Beauty- Sunscreen, a great bronzer (I LOVE Rimmel's bronzer and it is only $4!), Lip Balm and a bright funky mani by Jamberry!
