Simple Summer Style

Simple Summer Style by thelifeoftheparty featuring Birkenstock

American Vintage white t shirt, $71 / Aéropostale denim shorts / Stella Dot initial jewelry / Stella Dot necklace / J.Crew sunglasses / Birkenstock home decor

These jean shorts and v-neck tee are two summer staples I’m certain most women have gracing their closets. I’ve been all over the casual ensemble these days and this outfit is one of my favorite go-tos. Boring, you say? Maybe a little. Comfortable? Yes!

Birkenstocks have made a comeback but I just wasn’t sure if I was willing to revisit the trend once again, that was until I tried a pair on and remembered how incredibly comfortable they are. Not only that but also, I think women have really updated the fashion statement with these sandals. I’m seeing them worn both casually and a little dressed up. So maybe I’m just drinking the KoolAid too but they are officially on my list.

How do you feel about Birkenstocks?

Sunny Beach Days Are Here Again!

Sunny Beach Days by thelifeoftheparty featuring Kate Spade

Topshop white shirt / J Crew swim wear / J Crew swim wear / Tory burch shoes / Kate spade handbag / Jane Norman floppy hat, $22 / Kate Spade sunglasses / COOLA Suncare sun care / COOLA-6oz Sport Continuous Spray SPF 35 Citrus Mimosa

By just adding a few small but noticeable items to your beach look you can spend the day looking oh so fab while relaxing by the pool (or chasing kids poolside like I will be doing). I recently came up with a look by J.Crew using their Cove Floral (See Post here) and here they have that same pattern in a twist bandeau top bikini. Considering the pattern in the swim suite I went simple on a Topshop white beach cover and white Tory Burch Ricki flip flop with logo embossed studs. The Kate Spade New York Vita Limoni Aria tote will finish this poolside ensemble. Inexpensive? It is not. But if you are a lover of those brands it may be considered investment pieces for your style since they are of great quality.

What are some of your favorite looks for the beach. Glamming it up with a tunic and trendy beach bag? Or simple tank and surf shorts? Tell us about it?

Casual Summer Style

Casual Summer Style by thelifeoftheparty featuring a statement necklace

Zalando white shirt, $22 / Jean jacket / Reiss short skirt / Leopard shoes, $135 / Stella Dot statement necklace

For the last, I don’t know, eight summers maybe, I’ve broken out the no fail denim jacket. Really, if I think way far back throughout the many trends I’ve joined in on, the denim jacket has graced my closet since the late eighties….yes we are talking nearly three decades…quite literally a trend that will never end. It is one of those versatile pieces that can add so much to any casual look, maxi dresses, white jeans, colored jeans even shorts and pencil skirts. Today I’ve put together a combination of my two favorite patterns. Stripes and leopard, why can’t I get enough of it? Speaking of stripes a great stripe skirt is another one of those wardrobe staples everyone should have in their closets. I paired the skirt with a simple white tee and gave it a little added interest with a fabulous statement necklace.

What are some of your no fail summer staples?
