Trending 6.23.16

Here's what's #trending in my world this week! 



[1.0] YGR!
Lilly Pulitzer brought back the You Gotta Regatta print for a hot minute-- get on it fast, ladies! I am MELTING over this romper! I just got hired for a summer job at a boutique nearby, so maybe with my first paycheck!? Masters degree loans, be damned! I need some Lilly! Hahaha.


[2.0] CROAKIES!
I might be alone in thinking this, but to me, croakies are brilliant! Add pearls to them-- they become a practical piece of beauty! Check out these pearl croakies by KJP. I think they'd look fabulous attached to my glittery Kate Spade sunglasses! They would dress up any pair of sunnies, and, think of how functional they are!




[3.0] OFF THE SHOULDER!
This darling dress is extremely affordable (currently 50% off!) and super lightweight/summery. I love that it's gray-- I don't own much gray, and this would be a perfect summer hue to add to my wardrobe. Also, look at that cute detailing on the ruffle- precious!



[4.0] EASY DAY DRESS!
This is the dress version of the tank top I had been lusting after a few weeks ago. Sadly, the tank sold out really quickly, but this is still available. SO cute!  Throw it on with your Jacks, and you have a 30 second outfit (the best kind of outfit!).




[5.0] WATERMELON!
Okay, THIS is everything! The ruffle! The daintiness of it! The watermelon! I'm in love! Also, I love this price point in a watermelon print dress, too. Critters will always be on trend, in my opinion.



[6.0] FLAMINGO AND PINEAPPLE TOMS!
I am all for Toms and their mission. I've had several pairs of wedges, classics and booties over the years. When I saw that there were FLAMINGO and PINEAPPLE Toms, hand-painted by Haitian artists, I lost it! HOW stinkin' cute are these?




[7.0] THE DRESS FOR A SUMMER WEDDING TO TOP ALL OTHERS!
This dress in pink or blue (sorry, I don't care for the color orange.. haha!) will make you the second most beautiful belle of the ball at your next summer wedding. How gorgeous is that? And the price is very reasonable! I am loving the bow back detailing, too!




[8.0] TEAL GINGHAM!
This Modcloth beauty ties in the back. How fun is that? I love gingham (as evidenced by my last Belle On Trend post), so this dress is right up my alley for summertime!





[9.0] MORE TEAL GINGHAM!
Okay, these shoes are my new obsession. I will watch these like a hawk until they dip in price a bit, but they are SO CUTE!  And, with the thicker heel, they look comfortable, too! And the ribbon to tie on your ankle! AH! All you'd need to add to these shoes is a plain cotton dress-- something solid-- and you have a perfect outfit. Easy!




[10.0] PEARLS FOR DAYS!
This is one of the most beautiful necklaces I have ever seen. Banana Republic constantly has 40-60% off sales, particularly with your BR card, so I'd never pay near full price for that statement piece. But, it is breathtaking! All you'd need for an outfit with that necklace would be a white tee shirt, dark jeans and a pump. WOW. Just, wow.


What's on your wishlist currently?

Lemon Colored Dresses!

Thanks for reading! I am feeling so excited because I'm almost to 30,000 website views, and it just makes me feel like I'm really doing this! I mean, a lot of these views are mine or my dad's at the local library back home in Ohio (hi, Dad!). Haha! But it still means so much to me! So, thank you!

I wore this yellow-on-yellow combo last weekend for dinner at Wildwood in Geneva (I highly recommend the grlled Mahi Mahi with shrimp! YUM! And their brunch outside on the patio is amazing, too!) with Mike's parents and brother, Joe. Mike's parents came in town for the weekend, and we got to spend a fantastic dinner with them on Friday and mass with them on Sunday :)







My J. Crew Factory jumper is a few years old, but below are some equally as bright yellow options!




I love the pockets and button detailing on this!

The eyelet of this is perfect for summer!

I love that this encompasses the off-the-shoulder trend.

A perfect sheath dress for work.

How fab will your tan look in this?

This looks exactly like Lilly P!

I love how lightweight this is!

This one is summer wedding ready!

The fit and flare of this Factory find is to die for.


This dress fits so well; I have it in magenta!

Another excellent work option for the summer!

Those pockets, though!

The bold stripes add so much personality to this one.


As far as shoes go, I am all about a wedge with a dress. It's comfortable but still elegant enough to elongate your leg. Here are some of my favorite wedges:

Kate Spade and glitter-- what more could you ask for?

Stripes, bows and Kate Spade-- again, to die for!

My old faithful-- neutral Toms wedges.

On sale for $51! And come in beige, too!

You cannot go wrong with Jack Rogers (on sale!).

These look so much like my old floral Toms wedges pictured above!


How are you styling your lemon yellow this summer? It's such a cheery color to welcome the warm weather!
