July 4th Packing List

Oh how I am loving the summer and its warm sun.  We have already been to the beach, and I love afternoons at the pool with my boys.  It is already super hot in the South, but it is such a fun time of year.  Another holiday weekend is upon us!  Do you have any fun plans?  I'm super excited about my new humongous Marjorelle round towel by The Beach People.  Finally something big enough for me AND my arsenal of magazines!  

Is there a more chic pool hat?

I think this is the all grown up classy but still sexy version of the American Flag string bikini.

I LOVE this red and white gingham check dress!

This catchy tank is super cute all summer long. 

And these tassel earrings are so hot for summer. 

Check out my other red, white and blue picks HERE.

Off The Shoulder All Summer Long

Summer is well on it's way here in the Queen City!  It is the perfect time to don the IT trend of the season, Off The Shoulder tops and dresses.  A sexy yet demure (just right) way to don just a hint of skin, this lady-like look is one I have a feeling will appeal to all... not just the girls but the boys.  Don't you think?  I've put together a few of my favorite options at every price point, from tops to dresses, bikinis to maternity wear!

The ever chic Olivia Palermo!

Rebecca Taylor Off The Shoulder Blouse.  I love all of the detailing on this one! 

Kendall Jenner doing her thing at Coachella.

I am actually right much liking the symmetry (and cost!) of this black and white color block version by Kendall + Kylie.

Jamie Chung looking effortless in chambray.

Anthropologie, as always.

My top three... I feel like this dress was made for an angel!  This two piece ensemble... does it get any hotter?  And a culotte jumpsuit with eyelet trim?  Soooo sweet!
