Favorite Summer Essentials

rings | black sandals | crossbody bag | bracelet | backpack

I’m entering my early late twenties next week, so I rounded up a few thing that will hopefully help ease the pain — after all, there’s nothing a shiny new cuff can’t fix!  But in all honesty, I’m not the kind of person that dreads getting older because every year is better the next.  My style evolves, my interests shift and new adventures await.  I’ve been all about biking around the city lately, so backpacks and crossbody bags are at the top of my radar.  Comfortable sandals are a close second and I’m actually loving this modern twist on Birkenstocks.  As for everything else on the list?  It’s my party and I can shop if I want to!

Lou & Grey Cabana Stripe Dress

I told you I was on a bit of a black and white kick lately.  I scooped up this striped dress last week and have already worn it on a few occasions.  Between the neutral palette and the loose fit, I promise you, this is one of those dresses you can live in.  All.  Summer.  Long.

Black and White Summer Essentials

It looks like New York might finally be rubbing off on me.  This summer, I’ve been gravitating toward more neutrals than neons.  I’m especially loving the high contrast between black and white.  I know it’s not earth-shattering, but in a season full of brights and bolds, it’s refreshing to tune out the noise and keep things simple and sharp.  I recently picked up this black and white striped dress and have my eye on these crocodile print shorts.  What monochromatic pieces are you currently craving?
