Surf’s Up

Happy Monday! The summer heat has officially arrived and gotten me in the mood for bikini shopping, frozen drinks and all things related to fun in the sun. Last week, I spent time in Florida (pics coming soon) and made my first beach trip of the season. This week’s lust list has everything I’m coveting for a stylish and leisurely summer. Well, not everything… Piña Colada not pictured.

Features

I always say that I prefer dresses to pants, but in recent years they’ve become an essential part of my wardrobe. I have a couple pairs that I wear over and over again, and take me from work to weekend. Here are my favorites and stapes for any girl’s closet:

 

1. Classic Dark Jeans– These days I prefer high-rise that elongate my legs and can be dressed up or down.

 

2. Ripped Jeans– quite possibly my favorite. I wear these with platform sneakers for a casual,cool look or statement heels for an outfit that is laid back, but surprisingly sophisticated.

 

3. White Jeans– a must for summer! Obviously white jeans look sexy with a strappy top for the summer months. But I also wear mine during transitional times with an oatmeal or black sweater and pumps.

 

4. Black Trousers– last but not least are a pair of chic black trousers. Great to pair with t-shirts and heels or a blouse and blazer for a sleek suit look.

They say April showers bring May flowers, and New York has definitely seen its share of cold and rainy days recently. Even despite the nasty weather, I’m looking forward to the return of sunshine and spring.

 

This year, off-the-shoulder tops and dresses have become some of the most popular silhouettes for warmer weather. I styled my off-the-shoulder blouse with oversized pink earrings (and matching mani) for a girly and glam look.
