Charcoal Campsite

I love a slight harem pant because it slims and elongates your legs, while adding a little curve to your hips. Plus, they’re super comfy!

Mix basics and prints to spice up a simple outfit.

These wedges are so comfortable and easy to walk in. I always say I can run a mile in them!

Fairy Tale Forest

These lightweight tank dresses are my favorite for the summer. Easy to pullover, for those slow simmering days.

It’s flowy fabric and simple cut keeps you cool while squeezing in some tan time, as you wait for that friend who is always late.

Party Week Day 5: Champagne Shimmer

I am ending party week 2012 with a nice dinner outfit. This simply cut dress has some character with its sharp metallic shimmer. It’s an easy formal look, perfect for social events. This first impression shows that you are stylish without trying too hard.

I hope my Party Week series gave you some outfit ideas for this summer vacation. It has only just begun!

Party Week Day 4: Color Concert

Summer is not complete without attending a concert. My favorite musical venue is Nikon Theater at Jones Beach. The ocean view makes even the nosebleed seats incredibly enjoyable. The refreshing sea breeze keeps you cool as you dance and sing your voice away to your favorite artist.

Keep the outfit short and simple, while playing it up with accessories, so you can comfortably dance all night long! Loud colors and glitter will pop in dark venues, so you won’t be just anotherĀ fan girlĀ in the crowd ;)

Throw on a sleeveless denim jacket after the concert as you enter into the chilly night, with ears still ringing from the bass.

Party Week Day 3: Sprinkles and Sparkles

Today’s look is inspired by everything girly and cute: cupcakes, puppies, tea parties, and pink. Have a much needed girl’s day dedicated to mani-pedi’s, shopping, and gossip this vacation!

I just love the easiness and comfort of this dress. The ruching creates a super feminine frame.

Party Week Day 2: Coffee Bean Cutout

Here’s to a more formal event, one that involves hor d’oeuvres and champagne glasses!

Form fitting and long creates quite a nice silhouette. Add on some geometric wedges to emphasize the diamond side cutouts.

Party Week Day 1: Bubblegum Pop-Up

In celebration of summer vacation starting for most universities, this week is Party Week! I will post a different party outfit every day, for differentĀ occasions, so you’ll be styled and ready for any plans that await you!

This tight-fitted dress is a fun outfit for the club. The soft lavender color is amplified by its sheen. So if you’re not afraid of a loud look, then go for it!

And it’s not a problem if you don’t have any parties to go to, just as long as you throw a better one yourself with your closest friends! :)

Brandy Melville Haul

I am completely obsessed with Brandy Melville! Ever since I discovered this soho boutique last year, I’ve been hooked on their super soft knit sweaters and cotton tanks. Everything is one size fits most, which is a true statement. Their perfectly loose clothesĀ accommodatesĀ all sizes, so don’t be put off by that! It’s like Cali all year round in that store, and I’m a sucker for beachwear. This edgy boho boutique is the best place to stock up for summer!

I love the play on your exposed ribs on the side, with a graphic on the front.

Don’t be horrified! This is the back view for this grunge tank.

This girly goth crop sweater so resemblesĀ Wildfox Couture.

Cloud blue, soft knit, loose tank dress.Ā The perfect beachĀ cover-up!

I’ve been waiting for these destroyed cotton candy shorts to arrive in stores for the longest time! These shorts just scream out summer to me. Might bring these out on July 4th for a cute variation of red, white, and blue.

Finally the accessories! The leather studded skull bracelet reminds me of this beautiful Mulberry Lily bag, which I wish I could afford! One day…

Parisian Parrot

An easy spring look is a cute little and loose dress. A simple silhouette is just enough when you add a fun print.

Just when you thought this was a more conservative look, a cutout detail spices up the back. The right above the knee hemline also keeps it modest.

A slouchy sweater can easily be pulled over to create a more casual look, as well as protect you from theĀ ever-changingĀ spring weather.
