Star Spangled Chic

Fourth of July is only one week away! Next Wednesday is America's Independence Day and there will be barbecues, fireworks, and lots of celebration. This summer I've seen old glory is a new light. Shops are carrying American flag inspired apparel like denim shorts and tops. Whenever I think of the American flag on a t-shirt I think it's kind of tacky, cheesy, and boring but not anymore!

With the new amazing and stylish patriotic inspired style, we can wear our stars and stripes even after July 4th and look fabulous in it.

What To Wear - When You Rather Be Naked

This week I experienced my first summer "I-wish-I-could-just-be-naked-it's-too-hot-for-clothes" moment. I live in CT which means not only can the mercury rise, so does the humidity and the yuck. Unfortunately, sporting the birthday suit in public is frowned up (but not you Ryan Gosling!). On scorching hot days, I stick with flowly light fabric dresses. Fabrics like chiffon and cotton does wonders and helps the skin breath.

Here's 8 hot dresses destined to cool you down.

 Hot Pink

1. Asos' Oasis Stripe Maxi Dress  2. Urban Outfitters' Sparkle & Fade Silky Chiffon Shirtdress

 Print-tastic

1. ASOS Halter Summer Tropical Print Dress  2. Modcloth Confetti Caper Dress

 Mellow Yellow

1. Forever 21 Essential Blushing Shift Dress  2. H&M Sleeveless Chiffon Dress

 Mouthwatering

1. Modcloth Pull Up A Cherry Dress  2. Modcloth It's A Sher-bet Dress 

Which one is your favorite?

On sweltering days do you stick with dresses or top and shorts?

Sunglasses Are A Girl's Best Friend

I love sunglasses. They shield your eyes from the sun's harmful rays, hide tired red hangover peepers, and express your fun wonderful personality. There are so many different styles, shapes, and colors that there is bound to be at least one pair that will be perfect for you. I personally love the vintage cat-eyed shades in different colors and fun heart shaped glasses. Unfortunately, I already wear glasses so I had to get prescription sunglasses which meant I can't enjoy the cheap cute pairs that you can buy and wear off the rack. The prescription sunglasses I have now are Ray-Ban's New Wayfarer cat eyed inspired, in cream.
