summer, summer, summertime!

It's officially JULY and as expected the sun has yet to make an appearance in the pacific northwest. BUT I am confident that warmer weather will come. When? I'm not sure, but I do know what I'll be wearing when it does:

Easy neutral blouses and flowy tanks - It's ALL in the details! I LOVE studs, ruffles, bows, draping and subtle prints

Denim shorts - NOT the micro mini versions, but a looser fit rolled up for a casual chic look. Not a shorts girl? Cargo pants cropped at the ankle have the same effect

Lightweight scarves - The perfect way to pull your look together or keep you warm when the sun sets. I love linen blends, jersey and cotton in brights, neutrals and prints from exotic to nautical

Straw fedora or sun hat - Protect your highlighted summer locks from the sun and look good doing it in the seasons must-have hats!

Shades - Whether you love the classic aviators, the retro cat eye or an oversized Jackie O version, these will be your go-to accessory for months to come

Crossbody bag - The shape of the season has a long strap for hands-free summer fun. Chose one that suits your style and fits your essentials, then head outside to show off your laid-back look

Bright and neutral nails - Your pick, but be sure you have at least 2 coats on before baring your toes in this seasons sandals

Updated gladiator sandal - Still going strong, I love an embellished or neutral sandal that takes you from morning coffee, to the beach, to BBQs to cocktails

The perfect LWD (little white dress) - Find perfect fit for your shape and make sure its lined to avoid any incidents. This can be dressed up or down and should be worn often

Did I cover it all? When the weather heats up, there will be more to share, but until then... stay stylish!
