The Summer Trends I'll Be Wearing #5: Crop Top

Well, this one is pretty obvious.  The crop top, in particular this one from Nasty Gal, is the go-to summer top.  Summer is the reason why crop tops were invented in the first place.  Duh.

The Summer Trends I'll Be Wearing #4: The One-Piece

I still don't know how I feel about this trend, but I'm giving it a try this summer.  I mean, if I don't try it now, when will I?  I always thought that one-piece bathing suits were for either elementary school field trips or moms.  Fast-forward to 2014 and now every girl, in all shapes and sizes, is basking in the trend.

I think Nasty Gal has done an amazing job at featuring one-piece suits that are very cool.  Some look like there were taken straight off the Pretty Woman set (in that case, wear at your own discretion) but others, like this red one, are so doable.

The one I'm featuring below is from Billabong because I am loving the rainbow of colors.  It is somewhat conservative yet sexy.

The Summer Trends I'll Be Wearing #3: Tropical Print

Tropical Print epitomizes summer.  Luckily for us, brands like ZARA have found a way to not make us look like a middle-aged man at Disney World.  I'm seen a few cute tops but this one is by far my favorite. It is slightly a crop top, sporty chic and the print is subtle.  And at $39.99, the price is unbeatable.

The Summer Trends I'll Be Wearing #2: Low Top Sneakers

Sticking with comfortable, my second summer essential are sneakers, preferably Superga. Sure, Converse are always in but Supergas are a great everyday sneaker too.  They are not bulky and come in the coolest colors.  The black and white ones are my favorite. Those Italians always get it right.

The Summer Trends I'll be Wearing #1: Boyfriend Shorts

This weekend was the first that felt like summer.  It was hot, the sun was shining, and the days consisted of food festivals and a relaxing beach outing.  With summer comes my summer wardrobe, which is my favorite of all seasons since I LOVE hot weather.  Hot weather makes me happy because the less clothes I have to wear, the better.

So, this week I leave you with the top five summer trends I'll be wearing.  The essentials.  Comfortable and casual is all I am looking for.

Ignore the skinny legs, boyfriend shorts its where it's at. They can be dressed up or down so they will become your default for the weekends, day at the beach, brunch, etc.

Music Humpday: SNAKEHIPS

As always, SNAKEHIPS remixes another great track.  This time: The Weeknd.  Can it be Friday yet???

#OOOLook Inspo: Pineapple Chic

I wanted my first day (of a few) in Puerto Rico to be packed with sun.  But instead, I am inside my childhood home, eating a big bowl of sliced banana and pineapple.  Regardless of the rain, I am content. Who doesn't love pineapple?!

Apparently fashion seems to agree with me, as I saw an insurgence of pineapple prints last month on everything from underwear to fashion editors.  By far the best use of the fruit was the outfit on this cool chick I found on Pinterest.  She proved that strips, chunky chains and pineapples worked.  A refreshing look that is bold and sweet, just like the fruit I am eating.

Blazer / Topshop jeans / Miss Selfridge lucite heel shoes / Reece Hudson crossbody purse / Forever 21 chain necklace

The look I recreated is pretty on point, and the main pieces (chain, blazer and pants) come out to under $150.

Happy out of office! Enjoy the weekend.
