Distressed jeans don’t always have to mean an outfit full of attitude. It can actually play a nice counterpart to a more uptown look, keeping an outfit like this from getting a little too polished. It makes for the perfect blend of feminine and edgy, topped off nicely by a statement necklace that adds a subtle hint of texture to a similar colored top.

One of my secret ambitions is to own a summer camp. Perhaps it was too much time spent watching the original Parent Trap or reading that one Babysitters Club Super Special where they were all camp counselors, but as a kid, I was obsessed with the idea of summer camp. I even spent my time drawing maps of
imaginary summer camps I would one day own or attend.
As an adult, my fascination with summer camp hasn’t changed, though now I’d rather own a summer camp for grownups.
So it’s no surprise that my go to summer look might be described as modern camp counselor. I love shorts and a basic top for summer. Swap the tennis shoes for ballet flats, the whistle for a long necklace, and the clipboard for a clutch, and you’ve turned the camp counselor look from fashion victim to style icon.

One of the things I love about summer is that style doesn’t have to be complicated. A great, summer weight black dress, a statement necklace, and sandals are all it takes to be comfortable and pulled together at the same time. You can always top it off with a hat for an extra dose of style.

Shorts don’t have to scream casual. In fact, with shorts, it’s totally possible to put together a polished look that will hold up on even the hottest of days.

I’m not the kind of person who dresses in holiday specific colors (I’m talking about you, St. Patrick’s Day) but I would make an exception if I had this amazing, painterly red, white, and blue skirt.

Jeans, a basic top, and tote are the perfect combo for running your Saturday morning errands. Then, just pop on a great necklace and wedges you’re ready for the cook out your friends are hosting Saturday night!

Let’s face it. This time of year is full of events. Graduations. (And graduation parties.) Bridal showers. Weddings. Baby showers. Awards ceremonies. The list can seem endless.
This outfit would be pretty much perfect for any of them.
Though, of course, if you were wearing it to graduation, you’ll want to skip the cardigan under your gown. You can always toss it on later, especially if you attend a school in the snow belt (like I did) where it’s been known to flurry during graduation.

Summer is just around the corner and that means picnics, cook outs, barbecues, and outdoor parties. Here are eight outfits to help you arrive looking stylish, no matter the occasion or location:
1/ a seaside soirée // 2/ an outdoor music festival // 3/ craft beer and lawn games // 4/ a picnic date in the park
5/ an evening bonfire // 6/ a brooklyn rooftop barbecue // 7/ an outdoor luncheon // 8/ a pool party in palm springs
If you couldn’t tell by now, I’ve got the long weekend and summer on the brain. One of my favorite things about summer is getting to wear shorts. (Even though I love clothes, I don’t always love being totally covered up. I’d rather rock shorts and a t-shirt over winter layers any day!)
When it comes to making something as basic as shorts and a t-shirt work, it’s all about the little details, whether those are the sweet scalloped pockets on these shorts or a bracelet and summer weight scarf you tossed on to complete the look.

I feel like I’ve been working non-stop lately, and I really can’t wait for this long weekend. I’m hoping to be able to take some time off. This outfit would be perfect for a relaxing morning at the farmers’ market, sipping coffee and chatting with the vendors.
