SUMMER STRIPED JUMPSUIT

J has worked on a marina for years now but it's just recently that he was able to get his hands on his own boat, so naturally, we've been spending more time down at the marina and going for rides out on his boat.  This past weekend we spent some time at the marina for a BBQ and I thought, what better place for a nautical outfit than a boat yard?  This striped jumpsuit got a ton of compliments and my navy hat was the perfect finishing touch for a 90 degree afternoon.

STYLE MISTAKES I'VE MADE IN 26 YEARS

Happy Birthday to me!  Today I turn 26 and I thought it would be fun to go back in time and highlight some of my less than fabulous fashion moments.  Read on for some the fashion/beauty mistakes I've made over the last 26 years...

SUMMER WORK DAY STYLE

Man oh man, has it gotten hot all of a sudden. I think the temperatures hit 90 more than once in NYC last week without a breeze, it feels like you are melting the minute you step outside.  I always have the hardest time getting dressed on those scorching days - all I really want to wear is a bathing suit, but I have to get dressed for work, so what to wear? A structured but lightweight dress & some chic sandals is your answer.

BEACH DAYS

My family and I have been spending as much time as possible at the beach lately.  I am LOVING the warm weather...for a minute, it seemed like winter might never end, but here we are with sun, sand and golden tans.  I ordered this cover up back in March for our family vacation but never ended up wearing it.  I was so excited finally debut it over the weekend.  The pom poms are so fun!

SUMMER SANDAL STYLES

A couple of weeks ago, I shared the 4 bags you needed for summer and now I'm sharing some of my top picks for my other favorite accessory: SHOES! If I was limited to only shopping for one thing, it would definitely be shoes.  A great pair of shoes has a way of making you feel so confident even when your outfit isn't all that exciting.  Today I'm chatting about my favorite sandal styles for the summer season.  Read on to find out what they are ;)

The most popular type of sandal is this season is most definitely the platform.  You have probably seen these wedges being worn by what seems like every blogger out there (or this pair that is WAY less expensive), and I'll be honest, I ordered the Marc Fisher pair and wanted to love them.  But I just couldn't get on board.  Those wedges are lightweight and super comfortable shoe but also very chunky and it just was not flattering on my chicken ankles.  I was a little sad thinking I wasn't going to be able to take part in the platform sandal trend until I found these not as chunky but just as comfortable Michael Kors platform heels.  The best tip I can give for this trend is trial & error until you find a pair that flatters your legs, but totally worth purchasing because of the comfort factor!

My most worn sandal style this summer has been the slide sandal.  The ease & effortlessness of wearing a slide sandal matches that summer attitude perfectly.  You have seen me wear these Schutz slides over and over again this season but #notsorry because I truly can't get enough.  Not only are they comfortable and easy to slide into on my way out the door ;) but the colors are what keeps me coming back to them! SO fun!

Last but certainly not least, if you only get one dressy sandal for the summer, make it the naked heel.  This style is made by a ton of different designers but mine are Steve Madden and are under $100.  In a nude color, this minimal sandal matches all outfits and is made to match your skin tone so that it is barely noticeable!
