Summer Favorites

With summer heat and humidy at it's peak lately, I've been turning to an old favorite: light dresses and keeping my hair off my neck. I am the kind of girl who loves to wear her hair down and keep it simple but lately I've found my hair up more often than not. Because I've been trying new updos, bringing braids back into the mix was necessary. I've said before that this is my favorite summer hairdo and I forgot why until I pulled my hair up and off my face this morning.

LBD + Silver

Dress: Ann Taylor Similar Style  Shoes: Steve Madden  Watch: c/o The Watch Company  Bracelets: Stella and Dot  Necklace: gifted  Purse: Apt. 9 Similar Style

Two of my favorite ways to dress up an LBD: a bright purse and fun jewelry. I was so excited to finally pull out some of my silver jewelry after The Watch Company reached out to me regarding their watches. As I've mentioned many times, especially here, I've been looking for a new silver watch for awhile. While I can't get enough of my gold Michael Kors, I thought it was time for something that went with gold AND silver jewelry. When this watch arrived in the mail I knew it was just what I was looking for. The silver band with gold accents is a great accessory that I can pair with all of my jewelry.

Eiffel Tower

Top: Pleione Similar Style  Pants: Gap  Shoes: Via Spiga  Watch: Michael Kors  Clutch: Apt. 9 Similar Style  Nail Polish: Butter London Disco Biscuit

A couple of months ago, I posted about wanting an Eiffel Tower shirt to add to my collection. I'm not sure what it is about black and white (plus the Eiffel Tower apparel) that I am so fascinated with, but I think it is because this look is so timeless. I mentioned in my post that I would love to wear the shirt with skinny jeans and heels, so I dressed it up a little more with black pants for work. The bright clutch was a simple way to stand out in the snow yesterday. 

I don't know about you, but I can't WAIT for warm weather.
