floral crop top.

We're getting closer and closer to the end of summer, so I've been trying my best  to wear all my summer clothes before Labor Day. This floral crop top is something I picked up this time last year, and I never got the chance to wear it. Naturally, I remembered I had it as I was packing for a short trip to Ocean City. How fitting! 

Dressed this casual top up with some fancy black pants and a pair of stilettos for a schnazzy dinner at Liquid Assets. If you guys haven't been to this hidden gem, you're missing out! Check out my review on Yelp here.

kimono.

Not going to lie, my summer uniform is typically a tank and denim cutoff shorts- pretty much the standard for most, I'm sure. In order to stand out and put my signature touch to this look, I always like to add on some accessories or a pop of color anywhere I can.

I was recently gifted this beautiful kimono that is super lightweight (perfect for the chillier summer nights) and is literally a piece of art in color and design. The ruffled, wide bell sleeves adds a unique touch of sophistication to this look.

every time has its place.

This past weekend I went to my usual hot yoga class and my instructor mentioned she overheard a family at the beach running down a list of things they were going to do next rather than enjoying their vacation. This made me think how often I plan out my day on the regular. From setting calendar reminders and alarms to writing out a list of things to do and at what time of the day. Even when I spend time with my family and friends, rather than enjoying the moment, often times I'm thinking, what do I have to do next, what can I cross off my to-do list. Who else is guilty of doing this?! 

Time is precious, we never know what is going to happen next or how long we have left with someone important in our life. So next time you're spending time with your family member or friend, or doing something for yourself (this includes treating yourself to ice cream), take the [time] to treasure the moment. Oh and if you haven't heard already, it's National Ice Cream Day so go take some time to treat yo self!

Street style approved.

From my experiences of attending fashion week in New York, Miami and Toronto, "street style" isn't always about going overboard with colors, patterns and the works, sometimes simply adding on some accessories can easily vamp up your every day look. 

There's nothing like an on-trend pair of sunglasses to get you started. My favorite are these fashion-forward, mirrored sunglasses from polette (only $18.99, what a steal) that add an instant touch of cool to any look. And of course, I had to top it off with this summer's hottest trend of "off the shoulder tops" and a fun, neon pink bucket bag from Rebecca Minkoff (on sale now at Bloomies :D) because why not?!
