You’ll Love These Easy Breezy Summer Pieces

easysummerdressing

We’re finally in the dog days of Summer and after this past winter I’m not complaining! Ok, well maybe juuust a bit. With all these humid 90 degree days, it’s too hot for clothes! But since we have laws against that sort of thing, I’m going for these 7 easy weekend pieces guaranteed to keep me as cool as possible.

This eyelet top from River Island is perfect for hot days because the fabric is thin and the eyelets add breathability. You can never go wrong with a neon mini (this one is on sale at Madewell!) Next, we have this season’s staple piece, a lacy crop top from H&M. And how cute is this halter romper from Topshop! If shorts are your thing, check out these lacy cutoffs from Lord and Taylor and eyelet shorts from Roxy. Last but certainly not least, is the easiest and the breeziest of them all: a simple white eyelet dress. This one from Delia’s is on a great sale for only $25!

1) River Island Top – $34

2) Madewell Skirt – Sale Price: $60 (1 size left in 12)

3) H&M Top – $30

4) Topshop Romper – $40

5) Tinsel Shorts – Sale Price: $27 (4 sizes left!)

6) Delia’s Dress – Sale Price: $40 (2 sizes left L+XL)

7) Roxy Shorts – $50

j33j38Just 2 days till 4th of July. It’s one of my fave holidays! What can I say, I’m a sucker for fireworks. I just LOVE them. They’re magical. I also love the daytime events on the 4th: everything from BBQs, music, friends, fam, good weather. Plus, the 4th of July is in my bday month! (It’s July 16th!! : )

I felt like turning things up a notch for the 3rd and final look in this July 4th series. The previous 2 are here and here. I’ve been working out and toning up lately, getting ready for Jamaica next month. This dress from Material Girl is super comfortable and I just love the bold flag print. I paired it with flat gladiator sandals to tone the sex appeal down a notch.

Wearing: Material Girl dress (on sale now! $35) / gladiator sandals / H&M lips purse (love this and this and this) / aviator shades (sale alert) / Capwell + Co snake bangles /  Fossil watch / Curlsistas midi-rings from my new online store!! 

Lipstick: Ruby Woo, MAC
