Weekend Summer White

Hat : Panama Jack (similar) / Top : Old Navy (similar) / Shorts : Target (similar) / Sunglasses : Karen Walker / Bag : Rebecca Minkoff (similar) / Shoes : Soludos (similar) / Earrings : Gorjana / Nail Polish : Essie

There is nothing quite like white in the summertime. It makes you feel cooler in the hot weather, it enhances a golden tan and it always look chic. Know how you can wear all black in the winter and instantly look pulled together? All white during the summer has the same effect.

How I Shop : Forever 21



Many of us twenty-somethings probably have a love-hate relationship with Forever 21. We love how easy it is to test out a new trend or pick up a full look for a night out without having to think twice about the price tag. But we hate the crowds of tweens and teens, the anxiety-inducing overstuffed racks and how you always find the perfect top just to see there is make-up on the collar. Sigh.

I love Forever 21 and gotten tons of great finds from the retailer. In fact, I often have many friends ask me where I got a select item after which I gleefully exclaim “Forever!”. I am always met with the same response - “I can never find anything good when I go in there”. It’s true, the store makes it extremely difficult to find anything decent. And then even if you do, the line is long and you just give up and walk out with nothing. I hear you. But I want to let you in on my Forever 21 secret. 

Shop online! 

It really is that simple. From the comfort of your own couch you can spend as much time as you like scrolling through the options, where you an actually see what the stuff looks like versus in the store where it’s packed together. Plus, you can take your time looking without worrying about the people everywhere. This time around I have done the work for you, and pulled out a handful of my favorites currently for sale online. But go have a look for yourself and tell me the stuff available doesn’t look way better than it does in the store.

What do you think? Can you give Forever 21 another try?

White Here, White Now


It's technically not summer yet, but with the 90-degree weather we've been experiencing in Philly it might as well be. In addition to consuming as many fresh fruits as possible, wearing all white makes me feel like I am staying cooler in these steamy temps.

Be it white denim, feminine lace and or drapey silk, all white looks fresh and modern. 
Just be careful to watch for spills!
