What To Wear...summer bbq

Hey ladies,
Summer is finally upon us and one thing most of us will be going to are BBQ's! I mean who doesn't love grilled food? I have always had dilemma of what to wear to a summer BBQ because there are some key elements to help you decide what to wear.

1. Will there be a pool/beach?

2. Is is hot or cool?

3. Is there a lot of standing or grass?

There are some basic necessities that you will need to bring when attending a BBQ, so follow carefully....

Dress

Sleeved dress, $47 Chilli Pepper blue summer dress, £27 ASOS wide shoes, $61 Madewell shoes, $210 Dooney bourke handbag, $198 D G orange handbag, $218

Romper

Summer romper, $188 Romper, $26 DV by Dolce Vita leather platform sandals, $59 Dolce Vita checkered shoes, $153 J Crew boho jewelry, $30Ted Rossi bracelet, 145 CAD

Swimsuit

Bikini bathing suit Miso bikini bathing suit, £20 Oasis flat shoes, $30 Call it SPRING strappy shoes, $35 Madison Harding thong sandals, $174 Bikini bathing suit

I think comfort is key when it comes to summer bbq's because you do not want to be hot (jeans) or too dressy. Rompers and dresses are my go to summer bbq wear along with flat sandals(so I don't get a heel stuck in the grass or if my feet start hurting. Ohh and always remember to bring a swimsuit if there will be a pool or beach!

What are your go to outfits for summer bbq's?

10 Must Have Dresses

Hey ladies,
Have you ever been invited to a wedding or event and say to yourself, "I don't have a dress for that occasion!" So you go shopping for yet another dress? I think every girl has been there at some point or another but what if I told you if you had these 10 dresses you would have every type of dress for any occasion. I think we all would love that because sometimes we all cant go out and spend hundreds of dollars on yet another dress that we'll never wear again! I am going to show you a dress from Nordstroms and Macy's.

*I would try to keep all these dresses as classic as you can. Stay away from trends because those will go out of style and you dont want to spend alot of money on a trend, unless you have the money to do that.

Spring Trends.... jean shirts

Hey ladies,
I have been in love with the denim shirt look for years now. I think its just an easy shirt to throw on for a lunch or running errands. I actually bought my denim shirt at Target over a year ago, so I cant find the one I have but I did find some other one's that you guys might like.


            Banana Republic, $69.50                         Trouve(nordstroms), $88                         Eddie Bauer, $39.99                     


 Here are some celebrity inspirations...
  

Do you guys like the whole denim shirt look?

Summer Staples....swim cover ups

Hey ladies,
I don't know about you guys but I am so excited for summer! So one of the most important things for summer is of course swimsuits but we all can't walk around in just a skimpy bikini so we all have to invest in a cover up!
I have found some pretty cute cover ups from 3 different places, all ranging in different prices! I am definitely a fan of a cover up that doesn't necessarily look like a cover up. I like something that I can wear while shopping or to an outside restaurant.

  
Victoria's Secret, $68                                   Victoria's Secret, $55                                    Victoria's Secret, $48
    
Victoria's Secret, $60                                          Target, $20                                  Target, $20                                 Target, $18
  
Jessica Simpson(Macy's), $52                  Kenneth Cole Reaction(Macy's), $92          INC(Macy's), $63

Which on of these cover ups do you guys like the most? Would you be willing to spend more money of a good and versatile cover up? Where do you guys get cover ups from?
