Summer is here and that means a little less accessories for me. For these warmer months I tend to find everyday pieces and stick to those – only changing out earrings with my looks. With the heat here in Houston, it’s all about the shorts, flowy cotton dresses and oversized sunnies. With that said, I still love to make a statement, even if it is subtle. That’s why I fell for this elegant petite script ring from James Avery. It is one of those simple pieces you can wear everyday, but adds such a special touch to your look! This ring is offered in a wide range of sizes, even small enough to wear as a midi ring! I went with my initial, and chose it for my pinky. I have always wanted a pinky ring with my initial but I didn’t want it to look manly so, when I found this piece on the James Avery website it went right into the cart. For size reference I ordered a 3.5.
This outfit is pretty much my summer weekend wardrobe. High waisted shorts and a flowy cotton top. I went for a classic black and white palette to tie this look together with silver accessories including my double buckle belt. This shows how truly versatile a ring like this can be! I wore it with something extremely casual and it still looks as perfect as it would with an evening dress. James Avery has some more the most beautiful sterling silver pieces, all so unique and perfect for gift giving, or treating yourself. Head to their site by June 4th and if you purchase 2 charms you get a charm bracelet or necklace chain for free! See their site for more details!
So this post is a bit on the late side, but I just had to share my favorite looks from the Elaine Turner Edit Box, and give you a little run-down of what it is!
So Elaine Turner launched a new shopping experience via her boutique website where you can have a stylist curate ensembles for you to try, enjoy, and wear to events; then send back what you don’t wish to keep and purchase the items you fall in love with!

Hi friends! I just wanted to share a few favorite statement sleeve pieces I have been wearing on repeat lately, enjoy! P.S. if I couldn’t find my exact pieces I have linked similar. 🙂
This is the cutest little dress for the warm weather! With stripes and a statement sleeve and hem this piece is super girly and adorable! I styled it with rose gold mirrored sunnies, wedges and a bright embroidered clutch.
This outfit is all about the accessories and the sleeves on this top! I tied in the fire coral/orange to the beaded elements on the sleeve and it really pops with the navy and white stripes.
And lastly I wanted to share this cool blue poncho! This look is perfect for summer, yet I know the thought of a poncho or layering piece in the summer seems strange but in a light color and cotton construction, its perfect! I also paired it with white jeans to keep this look light and fresh!
With summer officially here and swimsuit season in full swing, I thought it would be the perfect time to share a swim look with you all! Now in saying that, I would like to add that I have not shared a swimsuit picture before. That is not to say that I am ashamed, but that I understand I am not a size zero, nor am I super toned as most of the fashion bloggers are in their swim shots, so I did have some hesitation in sharing swim looks but with a brand like Femme De La Mer, I had no worries! This swimsuit brand creates ultra flattering, well constructed suits that leave you feeling your ultimate best at the beach, poolside or in my case, a photoshoot.
Their suits are double lined and have seams in all of the right places. The material holds firm and does not dig. I also love the leg hole design as it is created to prevent ride-up! Once I slipped on this suit all of my hesitations, nerves, and insecurities went away! I love how flattering Femme De La Mer suits are on and couldn’t recommend them more! Seriously, not only is the quality amazing but the design and utter confidence you feel when wearing the suit totally make it worth it – which is why I had to share this brand with you guys!
The style suit I am wearing is the Monroe in the print Bora Bora
 
On a recent trip to Forever 21 I stumbled across this dress and immediately fell in love with it! It reminds me so much of the 40’s and I had to have it! The length, tapered collar, button front, tie waist and floral print all add to its charm. This dress is super lightweight and perfect for the warmer temps!
For accessories I wanted to keep this look pretty casual so I styled it with espadrille wedges (similar), my faux tortoise Quay sunnies and to tie the look together I added a bright classic red lip. Seriously I’m obsessed with this style, and will be on the hunt for more dresses with this silhouette in the near future!
When I think of a luaus or Hawaiian print my first thoughts are of those terrifyingly tacky shirts people wear on vacation. You know… those vacation shirts that should not exist? Yea, those! Luckily there is a fabulous alternative to the Hawaiian print that has received such a bad rap!
Enter this beautiful dress from SaraBoo! The color palette is the first thing that really takes this print to the luxe level. And with the added cut-outs and shift silhouette, this dress is the ultimate representation of vacationing at its best!
Seriously though this is the perfect summer dress for vacation or any daytime event! The material is lightweight and easy to pack! It is unlined but does not require a slip. I decided to pair this piece with my favorite Mirina Collections necklace, my ceramic white Mickey Mouse watch(I was really channeling vaca vibes) and sparkling sandals from Olivia Miller. The silver accessories really pop against this print and complete the look perfectly.
So before your next vacation ditch that campy Hawaiian print top and get your hands on this fabulous dress from SaraBoo! Your photo reel will thank you!
I love getting my hands on a terrific dress any chance I can. So when something like this amazing piece comes my way, you can’t help but celebrate! This is one of those pieces that almost transforms you! Immediately I felt confident and gorgeous, ready to step out and conquer my day. …I wish all my clothing had those powers!
So this dress is extremely lightweight and has a full button front. The high-low hem is perfect for finding wind and creating a gorgeous flowing effect. I paired this piece with a neon clutch from Nine West and woven stacked heels from Madden Girl. Together, these simple accessories pull the tonal hues from the floral print, giving the colors an excellent pop!
I received this dress from Borrowed by Design, if you haven’t heard of them, they are an online retailer that offers rental and purchasable dresses where a portion of the proceeds are donated to charitable causes. Check them out for gorgeous trendy pieces as well as formals!
When I think of plaid, usually fall and winter come to mind, but I recently received this dress from Shein, and have changed my perception! This white plaid t-shirt dress is lightweight and short sleeved, making it the perfect choice for the summer months. I also think it is a perfect back to school piece!
I have paired this lightweight dress with ankle booties and a fun navy hat. With the Houston heat at its peak, I find myself reaching for hats pretty frequently to protect my face and hair from the harsh sun rays. Not to mention, hats totally add a special finishing touch to any look!
This dress is unlined so I recommend wearing a slip with it, or shapewear for a smooth finish. The length is perfect for a more conservative look and the silhouette screams fun! The best part of all is this dress is only $14.00! At that price I think it is a must for summer and early fall!
I love getting my hands on a great romper. These one-piece items are really amazing because they can create a stylish look without all of the added layers. If you are like me, and live in a very warm climate, rompers truly are your best friend! I recently had the opportunity to partner with SaraBoo, a Brazilian Boutique offering fashionable pieces to make you feel your absolute best!
One of the pieces I selected was this incredible romper. From the front keyhole accent, gorgeous print and skirt hem, this romper has it all! The fit is perfect as is the length, even for taller girls! I enjoy pairing this piece with glam sandals and sunnies like these Olivia Miller sandals from Stage, and metallic geo sunglasses from Mirina Collections.
I selected this romper in a size medium and it fits just as described. I would say order true to size from SaraBoo. Check out their site for amazing finds for vacation wear, night out clothing and even wear-to-work! Better yet, use code RED20 to get an additional % off your order! Happy shopping!
So this top has become one of my total favorites! The lightweight chambray highlighted with embroidery and a tie front make this top perfect for this summers’ trends!
Here I have paired it with black high-waisted shorts and fringe ankle booties for the perfect look to explore the city!
