where have you been?

I know, I am more than sloughing in the blog updating arena... I apologize.
Now lets get serious, its JUNE and that means summer is quickly approaching! How ever will we accessorize our crisp white blouses, lightweight jeans or cuffed shorts and metallic gladiator sandals?
Here's what you absolutely need for summertime survival:

• Sunglasses - don't go wearing your stunner glasses at night, but rock them like they're going out of style when the sun is shining (or, if you reside in the pacific northwest, when the forecast calls for partial sun breaks)
  
• Be sure to find a pair that fits your face. You can't go wrong with oversize styles or aviators
  
• If you splurge on a designer pair, make sure its a flattering style that you can wear beyond one season
• A bold watch with a white leather strap - looks fresh for summer, and goes fabulously with a tan
  
• My most recent splurge was on a Michelle watch with 94 diamonds and a white alligator strap - I love it more than anything. I'm not advocating spending your first paycheck, but I'm not gonna lie it felt damn good and still does... What time is it?
• A lightweight scarf - just in case it gets chilly. Keep it playful and colorful, the more fringe the better
• A roomy tote to stash your water bottle, reading materials (pick your pleasure), sunscreen and other warm weather essentials
• Find a style that suits you and get creative with colors, fabrics and prints
• Nail polish - don't leave your nails bare when rocking sandals, its just wrong. Try one of this seasons trendy colors on your toes, and fingers if you dare
• I'm loving bright pinks, purples, yellows and electric blues

Have fun out there, stay hydrated and always wear protection (SPF is a must, sun damage is never in fashion)!
Stay tuned and always stay stylish
