I'm home for
This weekend was absolutely lovely, and on Sunday (when I took these pics) I spent the whole day outside, reading my new book and hopefully getting a tan! It was one of those days when I wore a swimsuit all day long, which is the number one sign that your summer is going well.
Of course, as lovely as my hometown is, they still don't appreciate people walking into shops with nothing but a swimsuit and flip flops on, so I constructed a cute cover-up with an old button-down top from Anthropologie and a flowy skirt from Urban Outfitters. One of my favorite summer styling tricks is to tie a button-down top at the waist when paired with a high-waisted skirt for a flirty look. Besides, I was wearing an adorable itsy bitsy teeny weeny (blue) polka dot bikini from J. Crew and wanted to show it off, so I let a bit of it peek out.
Swipe a red lip on and you immediately look 129% more put-together. Plus, I love how the red lip combined with the tied shirt gave my look a retro 50s vibe!
Anyways, here's the whole outfit, and below, how to get the look for yourself!

Get your prep on with J. Crew's new arrivals.
Things have been a little rocky for J. Crew recently. Your favorite preppy-cool brand has struggled in recent years with a crisis of identity. When Kylie Jenner and the Instagram crowd are leading fashion trends, where does a brightly-colored, gingham-obsessed heritage brand go? Well, after trying to shake up their image a bit, Jenna Lyons & Co. have truly embraced the preppiness of J. Crew, and it has paid off.
Now that J. Crew isn't trying to be something it's not, it's unveiling some truly fun clothing that will keep you looking stylish all summer long. From off-the-shoulder tops to trendy rainbow stripes, these pieces are for the girls who love color and aren't afraid of standing out from the crowd.
And because there are so many great new items, I've styled seven outfits for a number of summer occasions, so you can literally wear nothing but J. Crew all summer long!
Casual Weekend Brunch
I saw this iridescent clutch at The Grove a few weeks back and fell in love. Any accessory that could potentially blind people due to sheer shininess is an accessory I want to have. Because the clutch is such a standout piece, let it do the talking and pair it with a comfy T-shirt dress and trendy flatform espadrilles. Add a pair of sparkly earrings for some extra bling and you've got the perfect weekend brunch look.
9-to-5
Who says you can't incorporate the whole rainbow into your workday wardrobe? This technicolor-striped top is so fun for work and play (wear it unbuttoned for a sassy beach coverup), so let it do the talking and pair with muted neutrals. Draw out some of the fun color in your accessories, like your shoes and your lipstick color and pull your hair into a J. Crew catalogue-worthy messy bun for the perfect 9 to 5 look.
Drinks Downtown
I love the laid-back look that is vintage-style jeans paired with fun heels. The Roxie pumps come in a neat print with the perfect pop of color, so draw that out in a simple but brightly-colored silk camisole. Fringe earrings and a woven clutch add just the right amount of flirtatiousness for an evening of fruity cocktails in a trendy bar downtown.
Summer Wedding
J. Crew has a way of making unexpected color combinations work, so why not try lemon and raspberry? This gorgeous lace dress is perfect for a summer wedding, and this super fun necklace would bring the perfect amount of bling to the neckline. And I mean, come on, who can resist a good summer gingham?
Day on the Boat
Adventuring in the City
Backyard Barbeque
See, there are so many cute new things! And good news: you can get 25% off (or 30% off if you're a J. Crew cardmember) until midnight tonight! Score!

Every day is an occasion to dress up!
Most people wouldn't bother dressing up on a day when they have nothing to do, but I'm not most people. In fact, sometimes it's the days when I have nothing planned that I find myself getting really creative with my outfits, because I'm just sitting around and playing dress up. This was one of those days, when I saw this old knit dress from Anthropologie that I hadn't worn in a while and decided to make a cool outfit around it.
I love this dress because it really is so versatile. I've worn it with a fun statement necklace and heels to internships. I could style it with a leather jacket and ankle boots for drinks at a cool bar downtown. But this time around I paired the dress with sneakers and my trusty denim jacket for a casual cool look. Also, I had to take my dog on a walk so the high-tops came in handy!
This outfit would be perfect for a casual weekend brunch or trip to a baseball game. And it's the perfect All-American look!
