Summer is in full swing and I for one am ready to celebrate!
Here are some of the things I am currently obsessing over:

| Zara Cut-Out Top ($49) Vita Fede Pearl V Ring ($225) Catbird Jewelry Heart Memory Ring ($64) and Threadbare Ring ($44) Madewell Large Zip Pouch in Beachday ($32) Theory Stilla Leather and Stretch-Jersey Wrap Mini Skirt ($415) Vans & Madewell Paisley Slip-Ons ($55) Ray-Ban Mirrored Clubmaster Sunglasses ($160) |
Summer, to me, is about easy and effortless style. You can look awesome without intricate layers or dazzling coats. A crisp black and white outfit is all you need, and by mixing sultry (cut-outs and leather) with playful (sneakers and beach-print pouches) you get the perfect balance of styles.
I've been obsessing over stacked rings and am eager to grow my jewelry collection. These pieces from Catbird and Vita Fede are gorgeous and remarkably well-priced for the quality.
Mirrored sunglasses are incredibly chic and perfect for those bright summer days, and I have been a huge fan of the "Clubmaster" shape from Ray-Ban. I know I don't need another pair of sunglasses to add to my already large collection, but if I had to add another pair it would be these guys.
What are you obsessing over this month? What summer trends are you ready to try out?

SHOP LINDSEY'S JUNE WISHLIST:
the laid-back luxe of the Resort 2014 collections
Though shown during summer when baring some skin is an expectation, resort clothes are meant for those mid-winter getaways when daydreams of cutoffs and tank tops ravage our minds until we just have to escape to some exotic locale for a break from the cold. So naturally, designers revel in letting their ladies show off a little skin.
Of course, the old mini-skirt and spaghetti strap have tired out, and in there place a new crop (pun unintended) of styles that allow women to show off their figures, get some sun, and look absolutely fresh.

Not for the faint of heart, the mesh dress is perfect for the confident woman looking to show off some curves. To keep this look understated rather than overt, opt for a longer length and wear an appropriate amount of coverage underneath (I like the bandeau & boyshorts combo that Derek Lam is showing) if you aren't up for the bare-it-all nature of the Jason Wu lace dress.

The crop top has been present since the spring collections, but don't expect it to go away anytime soon. The great thing about the crop top is it's pretty versatile- you can show an inch of skin like Phillip Lim, or bare your crunch-perfected abs a la Theysken's Theory style. When wearing a shrunken top, remember to balance out proportions by pairing your crop with heavier, looser pieces for a more streamlined look.

Balenciaga; Versace; Cushnie et Ochs; Proenza Schouler
If the crop top is baring it all, the cut-out is it's girl-next-door cousin. With a cut-out piece, you still get to show off some skin and look fabulous, but without the serious ab preparation a crop top may require :)
Are you excited to try these trends or are you gonna leave them to others?
