Summer Staple: White Shorts

Summer has officially commenced and with the current heat wave, i've been distracting myself with ensembles consisting of bright hues, light flowy fabrics, and simple silhouettes. These white linen shorts are the perfect summer essential; they're great to pair with heels or for casual outings. I'm currently loving the orange and teal color combination of this necklace it compliments my orange blouse perfectly. This summer ensemble can be found at any of the Divaz Boutique locations or Grand Central Clothing. What is your favorite summer staple?

Dogeared Necklaces

 

When it comes to jewelry I'm typically drawn towards more simple pieces that I can wear every day. These dainty Dogeared necklaces fit just right and I love that each one has a significant meaning. I recently got a few as graduation gifts and decided to layer three of them for a subtle yet meaningful touch. They're great to give as gifts or I even love the idea of getting a matching set with my best friend or sorority sister. They've even been spotted all over young Hollywood, and now you can find a large selection at any of the Divaz Boutique locations or Grand Central Clothing. Which necklace is your favorite?

Coral & Teal

With the weather hitting triple digits, maxi dresses have been my favorite go to. Not only are they effortlessly chic but they're also extremely versatile. I love that you can dress it up for a wedding or style it  for lunch with your girlfriends. I particularly love this coral maxi dress and its unique, flowy mesh printed bottom that compliments the warm weather so well. I paired it with a teal patterned clutch and a layered gold necklace. Lately I've been filling my closet with this color combination as it has been my favorite palette this season. What is your favorite color combination for spring?

Spring Accessories

 

One of my favorite ways to dress up simple basics is with bold accessories; preferably one with lots of texture and print. Its such an easy way to refresh your wardrobe and has luckily become one of the hottest trends for this season along with color-blocking. Whether you plan to incorporate them with your current staples in your wardrobe or add them to more seasonal clothing, accessories are a great way to add the finishing touches to any outfit.

Color Blocking

Color is every where this spring and I couldn't be happier with it! I love color blocking simple basics like this ultra soft Micheal Star tank top and bright banded mini skirt. When combined they make a fashionable statement! This skirt is our number one selling item due to its versatility and color selection, which we have in nearly every bright hue. Grab one today before they sell out! Not a fan of color blocking? No worries, you can always pair any of our bright pieces with a neutral!

Travel Essentials

 

Packing has never been my strong suite. However when it came to my most recent trip to Mexico I knew exactly what to bring for a weekend on the beach. For some reason, packing for the water is always so much easier! This trip I packed my brightly colored Vitamin A swim suit along with a straw bag to carry my beach essentials and a crochet cover up that evoked the relaxed feel of the trip. With the summer right around the corner its that time to stock up on brightly colored swim suits, matching cover ups and an over sized Audrey Hepburn-esque hat.

Garden Party

This beautiful weather has lead me to spend more evenings outside enjoying the weather. As the temperatures begin to rise I immediately shift into dresses with unique detailing. I like that this maxi dress has a casual feel, but also feminine with the revealing open back. Hope all of you had a wonderful Spring Break! 

Take a Bow

 

With it being the first official day of spring, this dress only seemed appropriate to celebrate. Might I add this could just be the cutest dress I’ve ever slipped on. Bright colors, an over sized bow and a cinched waist, it pretty much ticks every box on my fussy dress criteria list.  There is something about a dainty bow that gives an outfit a feminine and fresh look.  Bows have made numerous appearances on the runways this past season and I plan stock my closet full of this pretty trend.  I paired this dress with turquoise jewelry and an oversized straw bag, perfect for those days by the water. What trends are you currently coveting?

Mixed Prints

 

Mixing unexpected prints is huge this spring and has been gracing the runways worldwide. It's one of my favorite ways to update my wardrobe and put together something out of the ordinary. I thought it would be fun to mix a Chevron print romper with an oversized snakeskin clutch. The key for mixing prints is pairing like colors. I love how these two prints end up complimenting each other! What do you think about mixing prints?

Bright Ruffles

Lately, when getting dressed in the morning I've started to wear the same mundane outfit so I decided to spruce up my closet with this yellow one shoulder ruffle top that moves so beautifully. Paired with gold jewelry and a navy mini skirt to match this warm weather we're having. I love mixing different textures and patterns to create a look that is both feminine and fun. What textures are you mixing this season?

Color Summer

 

With the weather heating up, white is my favorite go to color. White is the perfect blank canvas to show off your tan, experiment with bright prints and add that extra unexpected pop of color you wouldn't typically add. This week I paired my white Joe Jean skinny's with a bright blazer and an orange quilted clutch for a casual put together look. All of which you can find at any three of our locations along with a huge selection of bright accessories and tops to spring into summer with. What is your favorite go to color?

Spring Hues

 

 With spring finally here, color blocking and statement necklaces are my two favorite trends that will be getting worn a lot this year.  This coral hue is one of my favorite colors to wear this spring, with both my make up {particularly lip sticks} and in  my outfits. Which is why I love this dress so much and particularly favorable to the intricate detailing on the sleeve and sheer flowy sleeves. Perfect for an early morning brunch with the girls!
