Summer is creeping up fast, and with that, comes Summer fashion. Color and pattern continues to be on trend through Spring straight into the hotter months. So with each of these essentials, don’t be afraid to be bold and go for it! Color, pattern, color, pattern…Hooray! Shopping tips below.
ONE PIECE SWIMWEAR - This is a trend I’m super on board with. One piece swimsuits are so classy, chic and scream “old Hollywood glamour”. Plus, they work well with every body type. Also, I have a thing about belly buttons… I don’t like them. I know, it’s weird. Shopping tip: If you don’t want to shell out a ton of cash for a new suit, check out your local Forever 21 and/or H&M, they have a lot in store but not much online.

- 2. Jungle Gurl $115
- 3. Urban Outfitters $165
BRIGHT COSMETICS - Pastels, neons and brights are not just for the clothes on your body but also for your fingernails and face. Get funky with nail art, try on some neon eyeliner and brighten up your lips! Shopping tip: They sell Essie at CVS now! If live near a CVS, check it out. They sell for $8, which is way cheaper than a manicure and you’ll have the polish for touch ups!

Great article!! We get a lot of our stuff at Gap Outlet….for less than $5 on most stuff! (I like to look good but refuse to pay lots). We’ve never had an issue with quality either, which is refreshing. They have a bunch of fun shorts & flats right now. Bright yellow polka dot ones are really cute….just waiting for my size to come in (darn big feet).
I’m gonna check. Thanks for the tip Grasie
What about Summer Essentials for men?
Hi Andres! Check out my personal blog…I do MALE MONDAY posts for guys

Wow… I would never pay that much money for any of those! Although I do love the fashion. And thanks ^ Justine, those are way cute, but like I said, NEVER pay over $25 for flats. They fall apart too fast for that. Go to some local stores and be surprised with how cheap bright colors and cute clothes can cost. It’s usually better quality and better pricing. My opinion, anyway!
thanks Kelsey! ABSOLUTELY go cheaper if you can. i give some shopping tips on how to find less expensive alternatives but yes the photos are more about the fashion to express the trends. i’m a big fan of chain brands like f21 and H&M and thrifting to find what i’m looking for.
I own the exact same flats as number 10, and i got them for 15 at H&M! Just incase anyone thought they were cute but wanted a cheaper way to get them (:
Natural, subtle beauty, especially on the young ones, is better for your look, skin & pocketbook. Mascara & lip balm, baby.
