SWAG OF SUMMER

Pleather. Tank. Heels. Who says you can't mix and match? I'm breaking all the rules this summer. Props to Jourdain Nicot, the lovely photographer who took these amazing photos (minus the ones from my iPhone). Checkout her website here! Or her Facebook. 

               "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." -Coco Chanel

              Stay fabulous everyone.

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN DALLAS

As the temperature has begun to skyrocket, I can officially say summer is in session. Time to break out the bikinis and bronzer (but don't neglect sunscreen people!) It excites me to announce to ya'll that I have started my summer internship with Abi Ferrin, a local Dallas fashion designer. If you haven't heard of her or haven't seen her awesome clothing line, CHECK HER OUT HERE. It's been such a blessing to have been offered this wonderful opportunity, and I'm loving every minute of it. Be watching for an upcoming post all about Abi Ferrin clothing.

          

This summer is all about taking risks with your outfits. Wear something you don't think you could pull of. Take risks with your selections. And most importantly, don't give a damn about what other people think! Be wild, be crazy, be fun, but be YOU.

ALL Kendra Scott: Bracelet   Necklace   Earrings

                       Finals are ending and everyone knows what that means...SUMMERTIME. Summer fashion is one of my favorites because of the insane(in a good way) patterns and colors you can pair together. For this summer, there are a few essentials every gal needs. 
First off, high-waisted shorts are a MUST HAVE. No matter your size, shape or height, they compliment every girl in the right ways. Don't want to spend a pretty penny on a pair? No problem. Good Will or any thrift store is stocked with vintage Levi's and Wrangler's ready to be made into shorts. Grab yourself a pair and head over to YouTube for a quick DIY and you'll be set. 
                  
Secondly, maxi skirts and dresses are hot right now. With the Texas heat on its way, these dresses/skirts provide you with the perfect flow. Pair them with the perfect sandal or wedge and you're ready to take on the sun.
                 
As you can see from above, I'm a little obsessed with Kendra Scott currently. She just came out with her new "Island Escape" collection for the summer and let's just say it's pretty perfect. If only I wasn't limited to a college kid's budget :(
                
To end this on a positive note, good luck to everyone cramming for finals, and for those who aren't, consider yourself lucky! Happy studying and stay trendy!

CURRENT OBSESSION: STACKED WRIST

The trend is known as "stacked wrist" and it is exactly what it sounds like. All you have to do is stack up your wrist with your favorite bracelet/watch accessory combo. The secret is to pick ones that compliment each other. I suggest wearing a watch because it completes the look. This look is fun to create, but don't get too crazy by stacking bracelets up to your elbow (not a good look). Below are some links to bracelets/watches that I think would perfectly achieve this look. Have fun and go wild with it!
