SUMMER PARTY DRESS

My favorite party dress this summer is one that's sleeveless with a drop waist and soft pleats. I love how versatile they are- Great for casual or more dressed up occasions, and by tweaking the shoes and accessories, they can be styled to fit a range of personal styles. Go from glam to classic, preppy to edgy or keep it clean and minimal like the looks above.

SHOE CRUSH: BLACK + GOLD SANDALS

Crushing on these black and gold sandals. The gold plate embellishments make them a great statement sandal and they're less than $60- score! Find them here as well.

CANDY STRIPE

Not usually one for bright stripes, but I'm kinda digging this candy stripe skirt. The styling def made a difference- I call it minimal with a rainbow kick.

Get the full look with this or this oversized sleeve top + these strappy white heels.

Major crush on these bits + baubles from the Jennifer Meyer for J.Crew collection. All of the jewelry has a fresh/clean look that's perfect for summer. My favorite is the Edith jeweled cuff!
