Retro Romper

















Source: svpply.com via Sunny on Pinterest













I will admit that it took me a while to warm up to rompers but now I see them as a fun, easy alternative to sundresses. They can be as casual as shorts and a tee but with a little more interest. Simple to style all you need is a belt, sunglasses, maybe a necklace, and great pair of sandals.



Call me crazy but I think if you found just the right well structured romper in a solid color it could be the the perfect substitute for a cocktail dress.

First it was ombre hair and now it ombre nails are everywhere. Ombre nails were first brought to my attention when I saw that Lauren Conrad had been seen sporting them on several occasions. The key to this look is finding five shades in the same family of colors without the transitions in shades being too drastic.



What is your opinion on ombre nails?

In The Nude



Source: vogue.co.uk via Sunny on Pinterest









Nude heels transition wonderfully from season to season. They are universally flattering, making your legs look long and lean. These shoes should be a closet staple. Nude is a neutral so feel free to pair your nude heels with almost everything. When it comes picking out your nude heels, chose a color close to your skin tone but don't match exactly.

It is time to tap into your inner child. Friendship bracelets are all the rage right now. I remember as a young girl collecting armfuls of these bracelets and trading them with my friends. While 12 year old girls around the world are making these at summer camp, if you lack the patience like me for a DIY project there are a lot of beautiful options available to buy.

I have chosen a few of my favorites. I am a little crazy for the purple, black and gold one from Max and Chloe. I suggest purchasing one for yourself and picking up an extra for your best friend.

Belt It Out

One accessory that I am loving more and more is a belt. A good belt can completely transform an outfit into something new. A belt can be used to add a splash of color to an outfit or to break up a solid colored look. Some belts are more detailed and can really show your personality. Whether you choose a wide belt or a skinny belt you can really change your look. I love how you can take a girly dress or top and add a leather belt to toughen up the look. Or how you can take a glittery belt to add some shine to your look.

Here are some of my favorite belts for under $50.

Belt it Out


Buckle belt, €30
Esprit floral belt, $23
Banana Republic wide belt, $30
Dorothy Perkins flower belt, £20
TopShop leather bow belt, $32
Snap belt, $15
Leather belt, $32
John Lewis pink belt, £29
Red herring, £5
Glitter Belt, $5.99


I love how some of these belts have prints, like flowers on them. Think of the colors you can add to your looks like green, sky blue, and pink just by adding a belt. I also love the flowery red belt from above. This doesn't even look like a belt to me and belts like these can be a great way to make a look more feminine.

Trend Report: Cuffed Sandals

Part boot, part sandal cuffed sandals are popping up everywhere. For those of us who don't walk around with mile-long legs cuffed sandals (just like ankle boots) can create the illusion of even shorter legs. A solution to this is looking for sandals with thinner cuff that would create less of a visual barrier. Another solution is to pair them with short-shorts or a shorter dress.

Here are some of my favorite cuffed sandal under $50.

Sheer maxi skirts have been around for a while and were made popular by celebrities such as Mary Kate Olsen. While at first I was not a fan of the look it has grown on me recently as I seen it more and more on some of my favorite blogs and now I can officially say that I love this light, flowy, perfect for summer look. This trend is perfect for layering and by carefully choosing the type of skirt and the styling the look it is easy to avoid showing too much skin.
