Summer Beach Day with Sammy Dress

Spent the day at the beach literally rolling in sand and being splashed by the salty waters of Rockaway Beach. There's nothing like a good summer beach day. I've teamed up with SammyDress.com to style this super trendy crochet bikini which gives off major tropical vibes.

What I like about this bikini set is that you can wear the top in different ways, either tied in the front or wrapped around like how I'm wearing it. And to add a little flair I paired this set with a one-of-a-kind body chain from Draugsvold Jewelry.

An Easy Summer Tailored Look

There's nothing like looking put together while trying to stay cool in sweltering temperatures. Sometimes all you want to do is wear close to nothing but you have to remember that you're not on some tropical island that calls for near nakedness. Whenever I'm feeling for a tailored yet casual look I opt for either a structured mini skirt or shorts. A simple t-shirt will do justice in the summer heat, then I top everything off with a soft blazer and add a little height with platform oxfords.

Summer is finally coming to an end and I must say that this summer couldn't have been more perfect. I will miss the long days and wild summer nights. Summer to me has always been about being free and not worrying about anything in life. Every summer I discover something new about myself and those discoveries have led me to understand what my purpose is in the world. I find that during the summer a lot of change takes place, but I appreciate change because I believe that it is always for the better. I hope that your summer has been the best that it could be. I'm already looking forward to next year!

O U T F I T: how to do summer layering

The words summer and layering typically should not be in the same sentence because thinking of layering in the summer definitely sounds dreadful. But fear not I have had some long thoughts on both words and they can actually work together. 

The summer season can make anyone feel like they're going to melt so layering your clothes in the summer is only going to speed up that melting process. But it is possible to do summer layering if it's done in a more practical way. For instance, I decided to pair a long button down shirt dress and my favorite jeans that didn't make me feel like I was going to have a heat stroke. You can certainly take your summer look to new heights with layers instead of settling for the typical tee and shorts ensemble.

O U T F I T: an easy striped summer look

For the love of stripes! I think besides polka dots stripes are one of my favorite patterns. I love the classic feel about stripes and how easy it is to wear with anything. But there are times when it can get a little boring with just wearing a striped tee and jeans. So to mix things up I opted for the little striped dress pairing it with the perfect summer tie up sandals. So far this is my favorite summer look.

What's your go-to summer striped look?

p.s. sorry for the photo overload there were just too many to choose from >.<
