Southern Summer Style: My Top 5 Must-Haves

In celebration, or more like contempt, for this 100 degree weather...(it's LA, people! shew!), I've decided it's time to bring out those summer fashion ideas. Gotta keep that Southern summer style going out here in Hollywood!

So here's my "Southern girl with a Hollywood flair" inspired summer style must-haves!

1. Anything Chevron-esque.

Have I told y'all about the new business cards I made?! I'm totally obsessed with the navy/pink Chevron print…like to the point where I keep handing them out to everybody because they're to die for! See for yourself:

But take the trend one step further and wear it! How cute is this Chevron Maxi dress from Pinterest?! I have one almost exactly like it, and not only is it super comfy, but someone always pays me a compliment! :)

2. Sport those bright jewel-toned colors! 

Nothing says summer like lookin' pretty in pink! Or purple…or turquoise. Even cherry apple red for that matter! Let your outfits express your sunny disposition this summer. Bring out that "HAPPY" you've got inside (thanks to listening to Pharell nonstop we've all got a little ;)) through what you wear, because there's no excuse not to!

3. Pastel or NEON nails

Don't forget that sometimes the best accessory you can wear is a good set of painted nails. If wearing bright clothes is too much for you…cause let's be honest, we all like that slimming black on black outfit…then ease into the bright trend by painting that color on your nails! 

Like this:

4. Floral, floral EVERYWHERE!!

No joke…the last time I went shopping, I bought like 7 different floral outfits to the point that my roommate was like, "you have a problem." Oops! 

From sundresses to rompers, I'm all about feeling feminine and pretty in some floral garb. It screams summer to me! Plus, with a floral pattern, it makes it super easy to pair with simple accessories like nude wedges, denim shirts and studs. 

5. Nautical-inspired outfits (4th of July, anyone?!)

I don't know about y'all, but sometimes I like to pretend that I could totally live on a boat all summer, having barbecues and sailing the high seas, all while looking super cute in my red, white & blue (AMURICA) outfits and sipping a Bud Light Lime…(yes, I'm a girl and would pick a Bud Light Lime as the beer of choice any day haha).

So this summer, get some white jeans, red dresses and navy skirts, throw on some fun wedges and channel your inner Zooey Deschanel (aka New Girl's Jessica Day). If all else fails, at least you'll have fun imagining you're a boat captain!   

There are my Top 5 summer trend ideas...

Okay, okay…I have one more trend I'm totally in love with. 

These hand-chain bracelets are so pretty and make any outfit. I can't get enough of mine!!

So, there you have it. My Top 5 (plus an extra) Southern Summer Must-Haves. Keepin' country in the city! Now take these fun trends on your summer vacays and have a blast. 

And don't forget that sunscreen, y'all!

Hope Summer 2014 is the best one yet!!

Always have faith!!
