trend: tunics.

One of my favorite summer trends this year is the tunic.  Tunic tops look great with straight leg jeans.  Tunic dresses are great for parties or as a swimsuit cover-up.  Tunics are so versatile and fun!

I love this Lilly Pulitzer tunic top.  I think it would look great with white jeans and gold wedges for a night out with friends or to see a summer movie.  I particularly love the coal color and teal embroidery on this tunic.

This navy and cream tunic is great for warm summer days and is a great shirt to take from day to night.

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Belted Stripe Tunic

This J.Crew tunic is great as a casual summer dress or a swimsuit cover-up.  I would pair it with Jack Rogers sandals and a straw tote.  This is a perfect item to pack on vacation, since you can use it for two outfits.

Three-quarter length tunics are great to wear to a summer movie.  They add a little more warmth (for the freezing theater) while still being cool and summery!

The Straw Clutch

A couple of years ago I got an adorable straw clutch from Lilly Pulitzer.  It is one of the best purchases I've made in a very long time! I use it all the time during the summer.  It goes with so many different outfits, whether it's jeans and a cardigan or a sundress with heals, this straw clutch is so versatile.

Lilly Pulitzer always comes out with adorable bags for the summer.  This clutch is the perfect bag to use with a sundress or a pair of jeans.

This J.Crew Brompton straw clutch is a great clutch on-the-go.  It is so classic and easy to throw together with just about any outfit.

This Ralph Lauren Claridge Clutch is a nice darker option for a straw clutch.  I tend to wear a lot of white and bright colors so a light colored clutch tends to work better for me, but this RL clutch is so perfect for those of you who prefer a little darker handbag.

This Ted Baker clutch is perfection! How can you not love a straw clutch with a bow on it?!

For a more nautical look, this Lilly Pulitzer clutch is the perfect thing.  The navy and white stripes with the anchor emblem make for a great summer bag.

Let's be honest, I love all things Tory Burch!  I wish I could afford to buy everything TB comes out with.  This Tory Burch Woven Paten Clutch is great for the summer!

memorial day.

For Memorial Day I thought it would be fun to put together a fun summer outfit in red, white and blue!

I love this red sundress from Anthropologie.  It's classic and perfect for a cook-out or luncheon (plus it has fun detailing on the back).  Anthropologie is one of my favorite spots for fun summer dresses!

I paired the dress with these gold wedges from Lilly Pulitzer.  I bought these wedges last summer and have gotten so much use out of them.  They are the perfect height and are pretty comfortable to wear for long periods of time! 

I think this Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Straw Canteen bag completes the look.  It is big enough to carry as an everyday bag, yet small enough to use for a special occasion.  I love that it is a crossboby bag, so it would be great for a day of sightseeing or shopping.

What are your Memorial Day plans?

seersucker saturday.

Since it's Memorial Day weekend, I figured it's a perfect time to bust out some seersucker.  I love wearing seersucker.  I wish I could wear it year round (since I live in Florida and it's always warm!), but sadly I like to (kinda) fallow the rules.

I love these tan Ivanka Trump 'Brisa' Sandals.  Even though they are a little tall for my liking (3 1/4 inches), they are classic and great for dressing up sundresses in the summer.

During the spring and summer I love caring pretty much any kind of straw bag! This Melie Bianco 'Anya' Clutch from Nordstrom is a great (reasonably priced) straw clutch that is perfect for church or a quick outing with friends.

I love throwing in anything nautical to complete the 'summer look'.  This anchor bead charm bracelet in ivory and blue from J.Crew is a perfect accessory for any summer outfit.

Brooks Brothers is (in my opinion) the all time best store for all things prep! This seersucker dress is the perfect thing to add to your preppy wardrobe.

Happy Saturday!

blue and white.

When I saw this blue and white sundress from J.Crew I fell in love.  Blue and white are the perfect summer combination!  Blue is one of my all time favorite colors to wear and pairing it with white makes it perfect for summer time.  Pairing this dress with a straw bag and a monogrammed bracelet makes it a great preppy summer outfit.
