Splurge vs Steal: Frayed Floppy Straw Hat

June 21, 2016

Straw hats are summer’s best accessories. You can wear them to the beach, to brunch, to run errands, you name it! They look super cute on and they protect you from the sun. I love floppy and boater hats, I alternate depending on my mood. The frayed floppy hat is a floppy hat with a twist, it’s so fun and a statement on its own. If you’re thinking of a summer getaway, check these beauties out. Today, I’m sharing with you two options, there’s something for everyone’s budget, all the time. The lack of color ‘The Russo’ straw hat is fabulous, I absolutely love it and it sells for $89. Now, if you want to be a little bit nicer to your wallet, consider this pretty Forever21 frayed floppy straw hat for $15! I hope everyone had a great first day of summer yesterday and are ready to enjoy some more fun in the sun with these frayed floppy hats.

Trendy Thursday: Polka Picnic

June 9, 2016

Picnic basket: SunnyLife picnic basket for 2 – I’m headed to the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Saturday and while searching the web for last minute fascinators and lace umbrellas in stores in New York City, I came across this perfect picnic for 2 basket extravaganza, I may or may have not ordered it, isn’t it adorable? | Sunglasses: Karen Walker Super Duper Strength sunglasses – I love tortoise print on sunglasses and even though I have this pair in plain black, I like how the tortoise clashes with the polka dot dress | Hat: Topshop boater straw hat – can’t have a full blown lawn party without a straw boater hat right?! | Dress: Saloni Grace off the shoulder polka dot dress via Intermix – this dress was love at first sight, I saw it in the store last weekend, I tried it on and it was putting on the perfect size glove. This style, off-the-shoulder, that is, is perfect for petite women, it accentuates your shoulders for a little sexy exposure while keeping your look light and feminine, the length is great because it will be cropped by your ankles in my case or it can be floor length for shorter women | Shoes: Steve Madden Christey chunky heels – I’ve been coveting these chunky heels for a while and the fit is perfection, the chunky heels make the sandals so comfortable, which is great for those outdoor events like polo watching and rose parties on boats that you want to wear heels but want to be able to stand on your feet for at least 4 hours.
