Trends for July!

Hey fashion friends! So for the long time, no post. I've been super  busy working on my novel and crying over Go Set A Watchman (Don't worry you'll here all about it--Or maybe you should be worried) Anyway here are my trends for July!!

Jumpsuit

I love 70's fashion! I loved That 70's Show and American Hustle mainly because of the fashion, my favorite being jumpsuit which I'm super happy is coming back in style. They're so perfect! It's both a shirt and pants so you don't have to waste all that energy putting them on separately! Jumpsuit are prefect for going out to dinner, running errands or just hanging out with your girls!

Lace shorts 

Okay, I'll admit it, I wasn't the hugest fan of lace shorts when I first saw them. The first few I tried on were baggy and the lace wasn't where I quite wanted it. However, I've grown to love this trend! July is shorts weather, no if, ands or buts about it and while denim shorts are great and go along with everything its fun to change it up a little and lace shorts to that. They're cute, unique and come in so many different cute colors.    



Flower power 

The 70's theme this month comes up again in the floral prints I've seen a lot of this month. They're everywhere, skirts, dresses, tank tops, I even saw a shirt today at Kohls that said "Flower Child" which I would have bought if it had my size. Summer is time for growth and staying outside and taking the time to stop and smell the roses. 

Tribal print 

Tribal print as grown on me in the last couple of months. From not owning anything to owning a maxi dress and a pair of shorts. Tribal print really emphasizes the feelings of summer: fun, wild and laid back without trying to hard. They make a statement without you having to put a lot of thought into it. Bonus points if you get a jumpsuit with tribal print!

Stay tuned in a couple of days for my review of Go Set a Watchman. To Kill A Mockingbird is my favorite book of all time (second only to the Harry Potter Series) and I'm both excited and terrified by this book. 
Stay styling,
Ellen

Best Sunglasses and Swimsuit Pairings

Hello loves! Summer is finally here and I am so happy! It’s been a hard winter, but summer seems to finally set in, and I have embraced it with open arms.  One of my favorite thing about summer is the fashion! I love shorts, tank tops, sandals, and dresses, all of which were made for summer. However, my favorite summer outfit is probably a bikini and a pair of sunglasses, a.k.a the one true pairing. I love more than anything is to go for a swim in my pool and then dry off with a good book. I go through tons of sunglasses over the years, always on the hunt for the “perfect pair”.  Which is why I got so excited when Warby Parker, an online shop that sells gorgeous prescription glasses and sunglasses at affordable prices, announced the launch of their newest collection of sunglasses called “The Summer Edit” with different styles for everyone!  My eyes were particularly drawn to the more feminine styles (because when am I not drawn to all thing girly? lol). Plus, they got some aw

Fashion History Lesson: Chokers

Image
Hello, lovelies! I hope everyone is doing well today. It's actually supposed to be in the 70's here this week and I'm super excited. I'm trying not to get my hopes for an early spring...but I'm totes getting my hopes up for an early spring. Today I'd thought I'd talk about my two favorite things: fashion and history. I am a huge history buff and I actually love watching different trends turn up again in different ways throughout history. What's cool about fashion is that it's circular, even though they may look a little different with each go around. So we'll start off with one of my favorite trends going on right now: the choker. I'm obsessed with chokers you guys! Like they are the perfect way to have a little edge in your lives: whether you're trying to channel a little bit of 90's kid vibes into your style, or go full blown Edge Queen.           See? From 90's Princess to Power Witch, get a girl who can do both. Or you

My Top 24 Outfits

Hey loves! Hope you all are having a wonderful Wednesday and just having a good month in general. August is my favorite month, not only because it's my birthday month, but because I can enjoy pumpkin spice everything and Halloween decorations in 80-degree pool weather. Speaking of birthdays...my birthday is tomorrow! I'll be turning the big 24 and kinda feeling meh about it. I've never really been excited about my birthday unless I was going on a trip or something. Idk, I get weirdly sad about my birthday. Plus I feel like I celebrated it a week ago when I got my first byline in Teen Vogue  which was an amazing experience and like I'm so proud of it, and a friend came over and celebrated with me which was really nice. I don't think of doing much tomorrow. Maybe go to Barnes and Noble, but nothing really cool. Helloooo adulthood. Anyway, in honor of my 24 birthday, here are my top 24 favorite outfits that I've ever put together. From vintage dresses to fancy
