Believe In Blazers

How annoying is changing outfits a couple times a day? You're lazy during the day but have a party or night or the temperature changes during the day. It's the worst but it's for the best, right? What if I told you there was a simpler way? Ok, I've mentioned plenty of times how fashion tanks are essential during summer and how floral printing is unbelievably adorable. You know what looks great with a tank as described? Blazers. Yes, blazers. Although they were originally made for men, they now come in numerous colors and look very coordinated. The best feature, if the night is chilly as you party it up, keep on the blazer but if it's hot weather, take the blazer off! Your still wearing an adorable fashion tank. Blazers look so cute, especially on taller girls, and give a pop color without making you change into completely different outfits! Give it a try and tell me what you think! I know you'll love it, even the hottest celebrities like Blake Lively and Taylor Swift wear them!

Find What Shorts Fit You

  Everybody has their own unique skin color and not every shade that our denim comes in can pull it off. That's why I have the key to finding out which shade of shorts you should wear to suit your skin color. 

  Okay Irish babes, let's talk about fair skin. Out of light and dark wash, dark wash would be the better suit but instead, try a colored denim to give you color, just make sure it doesn't wash you out. Try blues instead of yellow, which will wash you out. 

  Now for the tan chicks. You know, the ones who sit out and then sun and turn golden. Dark wash is something you can defiantly pull off but classic denim is the best. It's not to dark and shows off a fantastic tan and goes with blonde, black, and brunettes, as well as red heads.

  Now it's time for the chicas who are a beautiful shade of chocolate. Dark wash is you best choice here girls. It goes with you darker skin better than any other skin color, so show it off! 

  Try these new looks on yourself this summer and notice how fab you look in them yourself!

Amazing Amusement Park Outfits

Going to the Amusement Park means a day full of activity and fun! However, wearing sandals and jewelry isn't exactly comfortable when going from ride to ride and walking around large parks. But wearing a t-shirt and sweat shorts isn't exactly attractive for this sort of setting, especially with all the people around. Save the t-shirts for camp, I have the perfect outfit that will keep you comfy and cute when your screaming your lungs off on roller coasters! In stead of wearing some old t-shirt, substitute for a v-neck and cami. V-necks are completely comfy but colorful and cute, it totally screams summer! And just to make sure you're covered, pick out a matching cami to go underneath. To go with your top, try regular jean shorts. They're cute but average and every v-neck goes with them! Duh! For me, I choose an orange v-neck from aero completed with a colorful image of a pair of sunglasses, a brown aero cami underneath and some basic light-wash jean shorts from my local Target. It kept me comfy and chic throughout the day as I scampered the park and if it worked on me, it's guaranteed to work on you too!

This is the outfit described
above.

These sneakers come in a series of colors and are comfortable throughout the day as you move along! You can pair these shoes with jean shorts for a classic summer look! The best part, they come in colors from yellow to blue and patterns from flowers to sparkles for a chic touch.

Raging About Rompers

Tanks and shorts during summer is like peanut butter and jelly. However, sometimes it becomes a little, well, plain when you wear them every day. But what other option is there? Ever thought about rompers? Rompers are a style that screams summer! Besides late spring, there's no other time to sport them so why not show off as many as you can while you can? A romper with a floral pattern pairs well with the weather and shows off a nice summer tan. Rompers show off your body's shape and also help you look sophisticated and stylish. I suggest trying out a floral pattern. Flowers are beautiful in general, why shouldn't look good on a piece of clothing? In addition, flowers add a prettier touch to your piece and look good with any shade of skin and any hair color, guaranteeing a great look for everybody! Try out a romper to shake up your normal style and add some floral in the mix for an extra spritz of beauty!

This romper is from
Macy's, even though
it's plain it's extra little
details still make it amazing.

This romper is also

5 Summer Accessories

  Whether you're headed to the park or shopping in the strip mall, colorful accessories add colorful flare that sums up an outfit and brings it to life. Summer is filled with color. Why not play with it? I have five bright and extravagant accessories to complete your summer look. 

  1) During the sunny weather, sunglasses are an essential item to keep the sun out of your eyes but also add a cool style to your outfit, even though they're on your face. Add a pair of sunglasses with a cool pattern like floral or zebra to your mix this summer to create a flare that well suits the weather

  2) While cruising the mall or going out to dinner with friends, why not spice up the usual wallet your carrying around? This season, choose a clutch wallet with bright colors and a cute pattern! For example, try pink and stripes or blue with polka dots! It will add color to your outfit as well as a fun touch!

  3) Are you wearing fashion tanks and shorts this summer? Well, the perfect accessory for an outfit of that sort or any summer outfit is a large necklace. Instead of a normal heart chain, trade for a big beaded or feathery necklace for a chic look. 

  4) Necklaces aren't the only piece of jewelry that comes big and bright! To match a big necklace, add a, we'll, big bracelet! For a boho sort of look, try thick bracelets with beads and gems. It provides a look of pure chic taste!

  5) Heading to the pool? The beach? Quit carrying around the standard drawstring bag to carry your towel and lotion! Swap for a nice, patterned tote! It's big enough to carry all of your beach essentials while keeping the look instead of clashing it. Try roses, animal print or zig zags and have people beg to be you down by the shore!

The Perfect Night by the Shore Outfit

During the summer, we all love to hang out at the amusement park or go to the boardwalk or go to a restaurant down by the bay with our friends. This is the whole point of summer! After all, we wouldn't want an outfit that's lazy or mis-matched to take away from the night. Good news, I have the perfect outfit to do all three of these, or any other fun summer activity! Throw on a fashion tank, as I've said before, it gives off that summery touch even if the nights get cool. And since they often do, match that top with a pair of capris or even jeans if it's late summer or if it feels right for the night. Here's a little tip: choosing a shirt with ruffles gives off a better look of your body. I recently purchased a fashion tank from Forever 21 completed with ruffles all around in shades of grey and black. For now when the nights are warm I pair the top with dark capris but once the temperature starts switching to fall mood it's time to pull out dark wash capris, or even better, black skinny jeans. Match your own fashion tank with capris or skinny jeans for a comfy and cute look for a night out with the gals. With the slight wind pushing back your hair sweetly, you'll look priceless. 

This tank paired with
a pair of dark capris (keep
in mind these capris aren't as
wide as they appear) pull off
an amazing summer night outfit.

Here's a closer look at the
fashion tank which looks great
with long hair, styled to perfection!

Lovely Lace

One of the most complicated and beautiful materials is lace. The problem is, when people think lace, they think of frilly, big dresses or ugly designs. That's where they're wrong. Lace comes in modern patterns that are simply beautiful and eye catching. Lace provides a fancier touch to an article of clothing but depending on what kind, it can still keep the piece looking easy and modern. Keep in mind that too having a full lace shirt or a shirt with too much lace can be overwhelming. Try something like a shirt with a lace border or a lace tank with another layer underneath. Pair it with denim or any kind of shorts (except athletic shorts) to create a great outfit, like I did. I found a pale pink lace tank top with a sheer layer underneath it. I paired it with dark denim shorts from Hollister to create a fun, summery and amazingly cute outfit. Wearing fashion tanks that flow off of body rather than stick skin tight paired with shorts, capris, or jeans for those really cool nights is the ideal outfit. Adding lace to the mix makes the outfit even more perfect. Try a fashion tank in this style to be in sinc with this summer's styles. Also, pick something up with a little lace in it to add a chic touch to your outfit! You'll look fabulous. 

This top's design pops off the chest
and flows off your body to create a
stunning look. The top layer is a
beautiful lace and the second layer is a
pretty sheer.

Fashion Hat Fun

Fashion hats are everywhere in stores, especially during the spring and summer. Eyes always look to them but for some reason, we never try them on. Maybe we should. The perfect accessory for a summer outfit when your walking to the beach, hanging my the pool, or shopping in your local outlets, is a fashion hat! My friend was coming over to hang by the pool with me the other day. When she stepped outside when I was picking her up, she came outside with a yellow floppy hat from Target! This yellow hat matched exceptionally with her yellow fashion tank and blue shorts. The fashion hat gave a stylish and sophisticated look to the fun outfit. I suggest you try out a fashion hat to complete a bright outfit. Even though it's only an accessory, fashion hats can create a whole new look and feel to an outfit. There are fashion hats for everyone. They come in a series of styles, like floppy or fedora, and a sequence of colors, like blue or yellow. Hats aren't for everyone but if you find one you love or looks great on you, go for it! It's a summer-stylish addition and it adds attention. I suggest looking for a floppy hat for the summer, it does the jobs of making you look fantastic and blocking out the sun. You can wear fashion hats anytime of the year, certain styles for certain seasons. Try Target, especially if that's somewhere you don't usually go. For simple prices they have a wide selection of fashion hats, you're guaranteed to find one to fit you and your style. Don't ignore that fashion hat sitting on display next time you're out shopping. Go for it, not many people do, and you'll be unbelievably unique, a great thing to always be. 

Here is my friend sporting her
very own floppy hat that she got
from Target at the pool.

This is the floppy hat, filled
with color and style. It goes perfectly
with a pool, beach, or lake setting.
