SHOP HER STYLE: RHW

 

Anyone that knows me knows that I really am obsessed with like Rosie Huntington Whitely.  Her look is always spot on, she frequents all the best music festivals, and she appreciates a great fur vest... I have a feeling we could be really great friends, and thanks to Instagram, I kind of feel like we are.  She is the queen of casual layered looks, that have just the right amount of bohemian feel .  Rosie's weekend uniform is skinny jeans paired with a tailored jacket, floppy over sized hat, and great casual booties.  If you peeked into her closet you would also find an enviable collection of structured shoulder bags, moto style jackets, strappy heeled sandals, and leopard accents... Shop my RHW picks below!

STRIPES + FLORAL

Old Navy vintage tee  // AC crystal necklace // Zara skirt (similar here and here) // AC art deco stone bracelet // Reed Krakoff mini shoulder purse (similar here ) // Sam Edelman Gigi Sandal

What do you do to liven up two basic prints in your closet?  Pair them together! I am loving the stripes + floral look lately... It's a clean take on the pattern-on-pattern trend. This AC crystal necklace is the perfect pick-me-up for a basic cotton tee.  It is a great piece to layer, but is equally impressive alone for a simple statement.

BEEKEEPER

 AC Bees Knees necklace // AC pendant necklace (similar here) // French Connection romper (old: similar here and here) // AC large cuff // Steve Madden booties

How precious is this AC Bees Knees necklace! I love it alone or layered with another necklace... such an expected and fun element to add to your outfit.  On another note, I haven't taken the denim overall trend plunge yet, but I am definitely still enjoying my denim romper.  It is so easy and keeps me cool in these crazy 100 plus degrees days.  Invest in one now and take it into fall with a floppy hat, embellished jacket (love this via The Outnet), and booties. You can also achieve the same look by pairing your denim cutoffs and chambray shirt together- you can't go wrong with any wash combo!

GIFT GUIDE

I don't know about y'all, but I have had major baby fever this summer.  Some of our best friends have had their first babies over the past few months, and with the arrival of the baby prince yesterday (check out these fun facts about the royal baby), I could no longer contain my baby excitement! Having six nieces, 15 years of babysitting experience, being a teacher, and having a ton of friends starting their sweet little families- you could say I have a little experience in the area.  I love kids, and I especially love buying gifts for them (you could say I go a little crazy).  Here are a few of my go-to gifts I have found over the years.

MONDAY MUSING: VANESSA HUDGENS

AC long pave necklace // Lovers + Friends white dress // Givenchy Nightingale bag // Wildfox sunglasses // AC chain bracelet // Cult Gaia leather turban // ASOS Hollywood heel

Vanessa Hudgen's look while shopping in London last week is so effortless and fresh.  I love the feminine cotton dress paired with the leather turban.  This is a perfect summer outfit with just enough edge. Vanessa kept her accessories simple, but you could pair with a bright shoe or bracelet for a pop of color.

ALTERNATIVES.
 

PICKS

Clockwise from top: druzy stone bracelet // Garden Estate necklace //  // gold pave bracelet // coral teardrop earring // pave triple strand necklace

BOYFRIEND

 

Persol sunglasses // Madewell linen boyfriend shirt // Necklaces: Vintage (layer AC jade quartz pendant and AC coin necklace for similar look) // Zara printed clutch (other great options here and here) // AC bangle set // Rings: AC and YSL // Zara ripped denim shorts ( coveting these boyfriend shorts) // Isabel Marant Jenny boot

This has pretty much been my summer concert uniform this year.  Distressed boyfriend shorts, a breezy linen top and my Isabel Marant Jenny boots (the perfect year round boot). Comfort is key, oh and tons of layered jewelry. Also, the last thing you want to be worried about is a cumbersome purse getting in your way of having a good time.  I like something just big enough to hold a few essentials with an small strap and fun ethnic print.  What do you have on your summer concert schedule?

VERSATILE WHITE

Alexander Wang sheath dress //Maison Scotch panama hat // AC turquoise multi-strand necklace // Sigerson Morrison accent studded booties // Black teardrop earrings // Primary solid python clutch // GLAD black shoeboots 

 

I love a great dress you can wear day or night, and a simple white one always seems to do the trick! The shape of this Alexander Wang dress is so simple and chic.  It's the perfect option for those Saturdays when lunch with the girls turns into an afternoon of shopping, and before you know it you're racing to meet your husband for dinner.  Just swap out your accessories and you're good to go!

 

FRESH FACED

 

 

Clockwise from top left:  Kate Somerville face tan towels// Kiehl's BB cream with SPF 50 // Bobbi Brown shimmer brick // Revlon Brow Fantasy // Dermalogica Microfoliant // Dior Show mascara  // Guerlain terracotta bronzing powder

 

 

My summer make-up motto has always been "less is more."  They key to looking fresh faced all summer long is healthy skin, and my secret weapon for that coveted glow is Dermalogica daily microfoliant.  It's a light exfoliant that you can use every day, and doesn't dry or irritate your skin.  Since I don't like to get sun on my face (hence the SPF 50 BB cream), I use Kate Somerville face tanning towels to keep my face looking perfectly sun kissed.  Being the product junkie that I am, I have rounded up my favorite beauty essentials that I always have on hand.

 

 

MONDAY MUSING: OFF DUTY

You expect models to look fabulous on the catwalk, but to me they look even more stylish off duty! I love how effortless and perfectly summery these three looks are.

TRAVELS

beautiful Colorado sunset

 

Well, back to reality (and the heat!).  We had the best time with family and friends in Colorado.  This trip was more relaxing than usual... no 14,00 plus ft mountain climbing or intense off road biking (I know, I'm so outdoorsy).  We just enjoyed our time there, relaxing at the park or sipping a cocktail on the porch while watching the sunset.  There was a lot of fly fishing, pretty little hikes, and a day trip into Crested Butte. My husband has been a fly fisherman since he was a toddler, and I have adopted the sport casually during our summer trips to Lake City.  Big news- I outfished my former fishing guide husband for the first time! Pretty proud of myself... and I'm going to soak it all up because it will probably never happen again.  Although I spent most my days lounging in t-shirts or fishing shirts, I did scoop up this Wallaroo hat... I love the style of it and all their hats are SPF 50!  

 

Happy Friday, AC fans, and have a lovely little weekend!

CHAIN REACTION

 Charles Henry tank dress // AC chain necklace// Ray Ban aviators // AC bangles // Sergio Rossi shoes (similar here and here)

 

 

Everyone needs this great chain necklace from AC! I love it long, layered with other necklaces, or doubled up...  It's the perfect accessory against a busy pattern like the one on this dress.  The batik inspired print is so fun, but the simple cut of the tank dress keeps it classic and clean looking. You can dress it up with heels (I treat yellow accessories as neutral!) or down with flat sandals and chambray shirt.  I always love a cute cotton dress to keep you looking fashionable and cool on those hot summer nights!

LOBE LOVE

 Old Navy vintage tee // AC earrings // Vince white skinny jeans // AC bangles // AC rings // Ray Ban aviators //

This go-to outfit is all about the earrings.  I love the Art Deco shape and variation of bright colors in these AC statement earrings- you could pair them with just about anything! I wear them dressed down during the day with my favorite white jeans and grey t-shirt, then throw on a flowy yellow dress and wedges for happy hour.  They are the perfect way to spice up your favorite summer staples!

HAPPY FOURTH

 

Happy 4th of July, AC fans! Aside from Christmas, this has to be my favorite holiday.  I love any excuse to enjoy an ice cold Cornona with a hot dog and and kick back with friends and family.  Just heavenly!  We are spending the 4th in Colorado for the first time, which I'm pretty excited about... we won't be watching any fireworks because of the burn ban, but there will be plenty of all-American festivities.  Hosting a backyard BBQ?  I've been looking for an excuse to try out this key lime parfait and grapefruit margarita recipe.  However you spend it, I hope you have a safe and fabulous Fourth!
