Sailing Away

Top: Forever 21 Pants: Zara (Similar here, here, and here) Shoes: ChloĆ© Earrings: BaubleBar Necklace: BaubleBar Purse: Gucci (also avail. here) Sunglasses: Illesteva
This outfit would've been a perfect Fourth of July outfit but it's also a perfect summer nautical outfit. I don't know if it was the red, white, and blue, the culottes, or the tassels, but it instantly gave me a complete nautical vibe. I wanted to pair this outfit with these slides but since I was going out to lunch, I decided to pair it with my ChloĆ© scalloped flats for a little bit more of a dressier look. As for these earrings, everyone needs to purchase a pair! The earrings are so lightweight and tassels are huge this season!

Palm in my Hand

Dress: Topshop (Jumpsuit version) Sandals: Topshop Purse: Rebecca Minkoff Necklaces: Y-shaped necklace, long pearl necklace Sunglasses: Illesteva
I've heard that in some parts of the country the weather is starting to drop but not Miami, we actually reached the 100s this weekend. When the heat gets unbearable I don't even try to put on bottoms and turn to loose clothing, like this slip dress. Slip dresses are the easiest answer to surviving the summer heat because they're lightweight, they're easy, and they don't get stuck to you. I wore this dress a few weeks ago to the Refinery 29 festival and although it wrinkles easy, it is the perfect summer dress! There's a month left until summer is officially over, but in Miami the heat isn't stopping so I recommend purchasing a few slip dresses because you can dress them up or down and still remain cool.

Flarin' it

Top: Asos Jeans: Nordstrom Shoes: Steve Madden Purse: Nordstrom Sunglasses: Illesteva
I was obsessed with flare jeans for years and then I decided to give skinny jeans a shot, and then boyfriend jeans and I never grabbed a pair of flare jeans; until now at least. With the 70s trends coming back I decided to purchase a pair online and not even try a pair on and I am so glad that I made this impulsive purchase. I snagged this pair during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for under $40 and I couldn't be more satisfied with the fit and the material. When it comes to an impulse purchase or something I know I will not be wearing for seasons to come I try to spend as little as possible. If I would've found a pair of nice flare jeans at a fraction at the price I would've purchased them. The best part is that flare jeans elongates your legs and you look so much taller. Of course I paired them with an off-the-shoulder top to finish off a 70s inspired look. I finished this outfit with my highest wedges and I felt like I was floating because the wedges are so lightweight and are so comfy! I kept the accessories to the minimum since the flare jeans and the off-the-shoulder top has enough of a flow detail that you don't need a statement necklace or bracelets.
