Are You Ready Boots? Start Walkin'!

Summer boots are extremely popular. With the excitement and rave over them, it is vital that we don't style them the way we would in the fall or winter. You have to be very careful. For example, breathable linen booties are ideal for the warm weather because they won't overheat your feet. Fun prints are great against a bare leg and pairing your booties with cute breezy dresses always amplifies the look. Keep an eye on the boots you toss on. Fringe can be overwhelming and thigh-high boots can make you hot and sweaty which leads to itching and potentially dry skin. Below are some popular summer boots and great ways to own the look.

Kate Bosworth shimmers, per usual, in a multi colored sweater, jean skirt and adorable summer booties. She dazzled the look with perfect beach waved hair. Darling!

Rachel Bilson models some sexy leopard boots with a simple navy tee and jean shorts while out and about in the city of angels.

While making an important call (probably to hottie boyfriend, Justin Bieber) Selena Gomez owns knee- high boots (better than thigh-high) which she accompanied with a peace sign top and white shorts.

The Classic Cardi

Do you ever experience a moment while traveling where you get chilly? Or, perhaps you get cold in a restaurant? A breezy night by the beach? The perfect accessory for those occasions is a comfy and casual cardigan. Below are some of the best ways to work a cardi into your everyday style.

Ashley Greene rocks a caramel colored cardi while exiting a local airport. She owns this look with a simple white tee, ankle jeans, matching handbag and classic dog carrier.

Of course, my girl Kim perfects the cardigan look with bright and fun colors for summer. She works a pink cardi with a white top and ripped jeans while adding a feminine vibe with nude heels and spicing it up with a bright neon tote. 

Rachel Bilson always dresses so carefree, which I admire. Here she looks california fresh in a blue cardigan, gray tee, cuffed boyfriend jeans, neutral flats, brown belt and detailed shoulder bag.

For Those About To Rock...

While baseball and fireworks are the activities which are scribbled upon our calendars and vastly ignored until within hours of their occurrence, music festivals are the most anticipated and most intensely craved aspect of summer.

I Spy Polka Dots!

Fashion, it seems, has come full circle, again. Polka dots first became popular on clothing in the late nineteeth century in Britain. Lately, the fashion world has started moving back to a more ladylike style. Polka dots are always a classic, yet uplifting and fun print that can make any outfit. But, don't be fooled. Not all polka dot prints are fab. There is a fine (dotted, of course) line between sophisticated and silly. Try monochromatic dots and pair them with neutral or plain pieces (jeans, white t-shirt etc.)

She does this look just right, with adding minimual jewelry while her top and belt make the statement for her.
