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.

Maxi Dress

An investment piece that all ladies should have in their wardrobe is an eye-catching maxi dress. It's a great piece that takes very little effort! I prefer to wear my maxi dress while running around town, opting for a more casual look. However, I still like to feel pulled together. The quickest way to do so is to glam it up with bright lipstick and a simple bun. Stop into all Divaz Boutique and Grand Central locations for this maxi dress plus many more!

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.

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?

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! What are your favorite colors to wear this spring?

Stripes and Bows

 

With spring right before us and the temperature slowly warming up, I am loving this Micheal Star striped dress for all occasions. The cotton fabric is great for running errands, by the pool, or even dressed up with a pair of nude wedges. The versatility makes it one of my favorite go-to's that I can't wait to live in all summer long. Today I paired it with an over sized floppy hat, gold jewelry and a weaved clutch for a causal lunch with friends. Pick your Micheal Star dress up today before they're all gone! Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
