Must Have: Blazers

Style Tip of the Day #2: Must Have: Blazers

“When you start to build a serious wardrobe, the navy blazer is the very first piece you should choose. It can be a building block for an entire work and casual wardrobe.”  -Darren Brown

Blazers are an extremely important must have in your wardrobe. They should be on the same level of importance as blue jeans, except they are more versatile.

A blazer should be well fitted and well made. The fitting seams in the back and the finishings on the inside should not be loose or messy. Make sure that your blazer looks smooth on the outside and no stitches are visible. 

If you want a basic blazer that works with any outfit, i recommend plain black, or, if you do not wear much black, navy. This can work with almost every color. A blazer can be applied to any outfit. Pair it with you’re jeans and a T-Shirt for a casual city look, or a pencil skirt and blouse for a day at work. Take your blazer out at night by slipping it on over your cute, bright colored, party dress to add a sleek dimension to the extravagant party chic. If you want to take your blazer somewhere new, put it on over your bikini and gladiator sandals and head to the beach! The masculine effect of the blazer looks great over feminine pieces!

A Day at the Beach: Dainty, Vintage, and Cute

Pair dainty vintage style items with dark leather shoes and bags and some gold accessories.

Summer’s here, time to hit the beach, with style, of course. I just love this faded red and white Topshop dress ($80). It’s perfect for heading into town after a day at the beach. Remember to take your Louis Vuitton city guide with you! Lingerie inspired chloé top ($117) and bottoms ($915)are great for roaming around in comfort- and style! Also trend on the beach; wide brim hats. A stylish way to protect your face… who wears caps anymore? These cute gold and diamond coral shaped earrings ($585) add a little touch of easygoing glamour to every outfit.

High Waisted Swimsuits

As high waisted skirts, pants, and shorts have hit the trend lists this winter, summer follows with the trend of high waisted bikini bottoms. Being a huge fan of retro styles and an avid high waisted skirt wearer, i am absolutely thrilled by high waisted bikinis.
