Summer Style

Summertime means comfy, fun and beautiful.

I love the heat, and here in Texas, it gets up to 100..and often.  

It’s fun to dress up and look gorgeous, but it’s practical to beat the heat.

I enjoy Rent the Runway for keeping up with the newest trends without breaking the budget

and these are my favorites from SaksFifthAvenue. 

WHITE SNEAKERS

I’m so happy the sneaker look is staying.  They are comfy and fun and can be worn with almost anything from dresses to shorts! These shoes from Saks are perfect for wearing on a super casual day, along with a linen tshirt or with an off shoulder dress like the one below!

OFF SHOULDER DRESS

Off the Shoulder is definitely the best trend, and it is perfect for dresses, and a flowy ruffles or assymetrical lines. Whether it’s linen or cotton, this is a comfortable staple for the summer.

SHOULDER BAG

Shoulder Bags are a fun trend this summer, and Saks Fifth Avenue has a great selection.  I love this neutral shade to go with everything!

OFF SHOULDER BLOUSE

Bright colors, white, black, short sleeved, long sleeved, I can’t get enough of the Off Shoulder Tops & Dresses.  It’s a touch of sassiness with sophistication. Love, love, love.

TANK DRESS

I mentioned the trend of the V neck spaghetti straps, and it’s especially cute on a tank dress.  Linen is a perfect choice for a hot summer day, and the tank dress with straps, makes it a sophisticated summer item!

TINTED SUNGLASSES

Whether it’s pink, blue or yellow, the highly reflective, tinted sunglasses are a great summer accessory. I’ve opted for pink…because it adds a nice, feminine flair to my basic black and white monochromatic look.

PLEATED CROPPED PANTS

Pleated cropped pants are an instant show stopper and summer staple. These pleated cropped pants are versatile and I  love to wear with stilettos and a satin tank to dress them up or sandals and t-shirt for an easy, comfy look!  They even do well with a cropped sweater or jean jacket if it’s cooler.

OFF SHOULDER with STRAPS

The Off Shoulder, extra ruffled blouses is my favorite trend for the summer, and having the additional small V shaped spaghetti strap is another additional trend which is quite sassy.  This gorgeous blouse is even available on Rent the Runway!

OFF SHOULDER BLOUSE

By now, you’ve figured out, I am really into the off shoulder look for the summer, but this one is trendy and cute. It’s pure sass with a touch of sophistication.

 BLOCK HEELS

When I wear heels, I’m over 6′ which can be a challenge to walk over a mile when we’re going places downtown or walking around on a normal day, so these block heel shoes have been a dream! I hope these stay as a trend for a long time….or forever.
