1.) Plaid shirts are always a classic and going with a bolder color during the summer makes it more fun! Wearing glitter hemmed shorts will definitely make you sparkle ;) A cute bright ring that matches your shirt is a great accessory to add and I'm in love with those heart Guess sandals! 

2.) Plaid shorts are harder to pull of then most plaid things. Wearing a longer cardigan over a plain tank will keep you comfy and cute. Sparkly sandals would look great with your look and adding little matching sparkly earrings would be the perfect final touch.

3.) Scarfs are always fashionable! Just wearing a plain slouchy tee underneath won't take away from the scarf and dark washed denim shorts with black flats always look great. Mixing in a silver necklace and cuff will really edge up your look! 

4.) If you want to show just a little plaid, then pairing your outfit with a plaid bag is the way to go! And on those cooler days, throwing on a fitted plaid jacket would show everybody how stylish you really are :)

Hello, Beach - Outfit #3

Roxy Bag $88, Walmart Bikini $16 for both top & bottom, Delia's cropped tee $20, Abercrombie & Fitch shorts $41, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bracelet $105, Marc by Marc Jacobs Ring $52, Ralph Lauren Sandals $248, Chanel Sunglasses N/A.


In case you haven't figured it out yet, but I have an insane obsession with the beach. It's freezing here in Chicago during the winter, so summer's my perfect excuse to visit my love, Lake Michigan. I guess you could call it a summer fling. And what's the beach without a bikini? So I always end up going on a man hunt trying to score the cutest swimsuits.

This pink heart patterned one charted the top three on my list. It's only $16 at Walmart for the whole thing! It would look amazing with a tan and some light washed jeans. With such a bright pink, all the cuties will notice you wearing this ;)

Crop tops are trendy this summer, and look great with shorts. I love flowy, loose fitted ones the best. They show some skin, without being overly sexy. They're also perfect for going to the beach. Easy to take on & off before hitting the water.

My favorite part about this outfit is the Marc by Marc Jacobs bracelet & ring. The red & pink together are so fun for summer and add the perfect pop of color to the top off the look. Colorful jewelry is always in for the summer!

Be That Girl - Outfit #1

Coach Poppy Nautical Bag $298, Juicy Couture Earrings $48, Juicy Couture Surf Board $950, Betsey Johnson Shoes $100, Abercrombie & Fitch Bikini Top $24, Guess Lace Top $27, Abercrombie & Fitch White Shorts $69

When I see this outfit I think fearless. It has so many different trends going on all at the same time; nautical, lace, and girly. But all of them combined make it so unexpected and interesting.

I love lace tank tops like the one above, they're effortlessly cute for summer. You can just throw on a bandeau or bikini top underneath, which makes them the perfect beach cover up.

White shorts will never go out of style. Abercrombie & Fitch still holds the number 1 one spot for my favorite place to buy them. They fit my body perfectly.

If you're really loving the whole nautical trend like me, then this Coach bag is the perfect way to show off your affection. But if you find a bag that's just as cute, with a smaller price tag, I'd totally go for it. Making big splurges for a trend that might only last one season, is a no no.
