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!

Let's Get Down and Boho - Outfit #2

Topshop Shirt $43, American Eagle Shorts $30, Tara Matthews Bikini $133. Armani Exchange Sandals $58, Juicy Couture Tote $188, Juicy Couture Necklace $48, Philosophy Falling in Love Fragrance $60 

This outfit is perfect for a warm summer day. None of the colors are vivid or crazy, so it's a nice natural & neutral look. 

Crochet is a girly trend that's definitely in for this summer. This top is very simple and gives off a boho vibe. Going with beachy waves and minimal makeup would keep the trend going. 

I love anything sequined, so I'm totally digging the bikini top. It's not completely covered in sequins, so it doesn't look little girlish. 

Falling in Love by Philosophy is one of my all time favorite scents. It was love at first site and the sweet, clean floral scent compliments this outfit perfectly. 

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.

You Make Me Blush ;)

Looking for the perfect summer blush? Look no further. . . 

1.) Mac Cremeblend Blush in Something Special/MAC/$19.50. This pretty coral is the perfect color for that flushed look. 

2.) Mac Mineralize Blush in Love Thing/MAC/$22. I love this thing for those hot late nights.

3.) Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural/Drugstores/$12. For a natural, you're making me blush, kind of look. 

4.) Urban Decay Powder Blush in Score/Hautelook/$5. You might just score wearing this pretty blush ;) 

5.) Hard Candy's Boxed Blush in Hot Flash/Walmart/$6. You'll look like you just had a hot flash with these gorgeous colors combined. (Beware of the red, it's crazy pigmented!) 

T.G.I.S. (Thank God, it's Summer)

My everything fabulous it list for summer :) 

1.) (Steve Madden $90) Gladiator Sandals/  So two summers ago? Not for me. I'm still loving this trend. No matter what anybody says, I'm never gonna give you up gladiators.
2.) (Dior $45) Self Tanner/ I want that sun kissed look, without getting skin cancer. That's why self-tanners become my new BFF every single summer.
3.) (Hawaiian Tropic $8) Sunscreen/ I used to be crazy. . . and would buy 100 SPF sunscreen. Until I realized anything above SPF 35 will do just as good.
4.) (Ray-Bans $179) Sunglasses/ Doing two things at once, protecting my eyes & looking stylish. Win-win for me!
5.) (Juicy Couture, Viva La Juicy, 1.7 oz $67) Signature Summer Scent/ This perfume brings back great summer memories. Probably because I used to wear it all the time every single summer. But hey, the beach can only make you smell so good.
6.) (Hurley $31) Bikini/ Beach, Bikinis, and Boys, the definition of summer. And how could that be complete without the bikini part?
7.) (Juicy Couture BFF Watch $195) White Watches/ With white watches being totally in this summer, having one is a must. So fabulous, yet classy at the same time.
8.) (Lilly Pulitzer $138) Bright Bags/ It's summer, save those boring neutral colors for fall & winter. It's time to have some fun ;)
9.) (Gargantuan Green Grape by OPI $8.50) Bright Nail Polish/ Time to bring out your brights and neons again, it's that season!
10.) (Mac $14.50) Bright Lipstick/ Make your lips the center of attention with a bright lipstick! Adding a pop of color will amp up your look. Just stick with a natural or neutral eye & face makeup and you'll be looking amazing.
11.) (Benefit Waterproof Badgal $19) Waterproof Mascara/ Let's keep our mascara where it's supposed to be :) Waterproof formulas are a must if you don't plan on rocking that raccoon look this summer!

The Hottest Colors for Summer

1.) Gargantuan Green Grape - OPI/Ulta/$8.50. OPI defines this color as, "Green kissed by the summer sun." I define this color as my new go to summer polish!
2.) Need Sunglasses? - OPI/Ulta/$8.50. I'm a sucker for baby yellow nail polishes, so this one is definitely out of the norm for me. But the color just screams out sunshine, and what's summer without some sun?
3.) Morning Rose - Chanel/chanel.com/$25. I love pink, but I think I love this nail polish more, if that's possible! This to die for color, is a must this summer for me.
4.) Smooth Sailing - Essie/Drugstores/$8. I immediately fell head over heels for the Braziliant collection the second I saw it. Although I have a mad obsession with all of the colors, this would have to be my favorite.
5.) Calypso Blue - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure/Ulta/$8. I think beach whenever I see this color. Even though the water's not this pretty shade of blue, it still reminds me of the oceans sparkling waves.
6.) Meet Me at Sunset - Essie/Drugstores/$8. This nail polish has the cutest name in my whole entire collection! And it's not just the name that's cute, the color is totally smokin' hot. You'll turn heads.

& those are my top picks for this summer :)
