Summer is the season of easy, effortless style. At work, everyone jokes that I must have 27 daytime dresses and while it sounds ridiculous, I probably have even more! I just love the ease of styling a dress.  You don’t have to stress about a matching top or bottom; in one piece, you have a complete outfit. Therefore, it’s no surprise that I also love a good romper. Similarly effortless, it’s a fun alternative to a traditional dress. This one-and-done number from Anthropologie is undeniably chic and requires very little accessorizing. Great for afternoon lunches or even a warm-weather date night, this piece has me wishing summer would never end!

MAUI BREEZE

Maui, Hawaii

Last week I went to Hawaii for the first time! And aside from the infinity pools, crushed ice and ultra-clear ocean, this place was a dream in so many ways I never even imagined. I won’t get into all the reasons why I loved it ( I mean, you would have to be loco not to like it, right?)  but I will say if you find yourself visiting Maui in the near future these are the must-sees:

  • Mama’s Fish House for dinner
  • Trilogy boat/ sail to Lanai for the day
  • The Road to Hana/Black Sand Beach

Everything in Hawaii is lovely. From the people to the food to the weather, it’s the best place to truly escape.

I love this rainbow splashed maxi dress from Anthropologie because it reminds me of my carefree days on the island. From snow cones to the state license plate, Hawaii is perfectly bright, vibrant and represented by this happy symbol.

Ah, I love it there…

Way waaay back in the day, skinny jeans were believed to be a mere fashion trend. Do you guys remember that? People (myself included) thought that the super-tight pant fad would quickly fade. I pulled on my first pair back in high school and thought, ok, this is interesting... I liked them but there were lots of critics at first. Fast-forward 15+ years and the denim silhouette is now a wardrobe staple.

All body types have adopted the skinny jean as a closet mainstay. That's why when I find a flattering pair that also happens to be INSANELY affordable, I have to share. This pair today is from Banana Republic Factory and they are now under $40! Available in an array of washes, find the one that you love and grab a pair (or three!)
