Post image for Our Favorite Hats For Summer

Hats are always one of my go-to accessories no matter what season it is. They can really add that extra touch and complete an outfit — not to mention they are perfect to throw on if your hair isn’t quite up to par in the morning. In the winter, I’m all about the beanies. During the summertime, wide brims are my favorite. They can keep you cool and shade your face from the sun, so the wider the better in my opinion!  We have a handful of hats online right now that are made out of lightweight materials in fun shapes, so I wanted to show how I would style three of my favorites:

Post image for Office Style: Summer Prints

This week’s office style was all about fun, summery prints! Prints are great all year round, but bright-colored florals and bohemian patterns are what summertime is all about. I caught some of the girls looking quite similar this week, from matching jean vests worn over sun dresses to lightweight embroidered tops paired with skinnies. I’m sure the warm temperatures inspired these girls when they were getting dressed in the morning. Take a look at how they wore prints this week! Read more »

The Imperial Palms dress looks so different than it does in the online shop. It appears here that it's easy to lace up the sides completely for more modest coverage. Is that so? Also looks longer here...

Can I just say I love you guys? First of all for the wonderful styles you give us... second for the happy and normal looking models that wear them, so I could actually see myself being able to pull off the look myself.

Post image for Our Top 10 Summer Bands

Summer is now in full swing, and I couldn’t be happier. To me, music is an essential aspect of this season. Whether I am going for a walk, relaxing on the beach, or even just chilling in my apartment with the windows open, it is essential that I have good music playing. I always find myself coming back to certain bands in the summertime — both new and old, they are the ones that always seem to capture the exact feeling of summer that I want to surround myself with. So here they are, my top ten summer bands — who would make your list? Read more »

When making summertime plans, I’m always sure to include trips to the beach, but this summer I want to make sure I don’t forget about those long days spent by the pool, heating up under the warm sun and then cooling off with a refreshing leap into the water. Read more »

Post image for Nekter Juice Cleanse Diary

Last week I tried something new: a juice cleanse. The 3-day Nekter Juice Cleanse, to be exact. We’ve talked about juice cleanses here on the blog before, and it’s definitely something I’ve considered doing for a long time now, so I was really excited to take on this challenge. Here I’ll share my experience with the cleanse, and how it helped or affected me overall! Have you ever tried a juice cleanse? Which one? Let us know your thoughts, we would love to hear!

I can't do a cleanse right now because I am on very strong painkillers due to a nerve injury. When I have healed (hopefully spontaneously, or with the help of surgery) I will try this straightaway. I can't wait to get all these drugs out of my body... :o( I have to wear an ugly neck brace too, and I am so grateful for the beautiful FP scarves that help me hide it. Really brightens up my day when I put them on. So glad it is winter here in Australia!!!
