With summer quickly approaching, I can’t help but crave all things neon right now. I know the super shades are not for everybody, so I rounded up three different ways you can foray into neons with a casual, summery or chic look. Whether you start with a sprinkle or a splash or just dive right in, I guarantee the ultra brights will make you ultra happy.

Hey friends — I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My parents were in NYC for weekend adventures #2. This time around, I took them to my office to see where I work (guaranteed recipe for embarrassment!), then we wandered and ate everywhere from midtown to downtown. We also catched our very first Manhattanhenge — one of four days out of the year where the sunset aligns perfectly with the city street grids. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.
So when it came to weekend wear, a whispery white dress was the name of game. Just like the LBD, the little white dress is the perfect blank canvas for any outfit. You can let it stand on its own or throw on few colorful accessories. I obviously opted for the latter with a pastel palette. I’m all about this powder blue scarf (um hello … pom poms!) and a yellow perforated bag for the perfect pops of pastel.

I wasn’t looking forward to tallying up May’s purchases for this month’s shopping budget, mostly because I partook in a bit of pre-vacation shopping before St. Martin. My favorite purchases of the month: pom pom scarves, printed shorts and a gorgeous pearl necklace.
Surprisingly though, I managed to stay under budget since most of the pieces I bought were relatively inexpensive … What can I say? I’m a sucker for cheap thrills! Either way, my wallet is happy and my closet is full of new summer goodies! What’ve you purchased lately? Share your shopping scores in the comments below!
