Who doesn’t start their summer by shopping for new digs? Especially after that Spring cleaning, a restock and revamp is inevitable. Starting a Summer wardrobe out right is key to mixing and matching all season long.

If you can scroll through Instagram WITHOUT seeing a hair accessory – you are one of the few! A huge (and SIMPLE!) staple to a summer outfit is the headband. Bedazzled, over-sized and embellished are the true winners here.

Lele Sadoughi Jewel Embellished Headband – A Beautiful cream colored velvet headband with gold embellished jewels that will seriously last years and become a timeless piece.

Prada Silk-Satin Headband – Clearly a splurge for a head accessory but this will be the one seen on all your favorite fashion bloggers this season!

Amazon Pearl Embellished Headband – IT’S A DOLLAR. ‘Nuff said.

Balance is key to building an outfit but I’m not much for rules. Over-sized garments are a cool way to cool down. Spacious trousers are mellow yet still flattering, a loose frock can be thrown on over a bikini and any flowing top is appreciated.

Storets Effie Marie Sleeves Dress – I love starting an outfit with white and pairing it with literally anything. You can dress this down with cropped jeans and low sandals or beach it with a big sun hat and layered necklaces.

Aje Edwards Trousers – Paired with a low close toe mule and a voluminous top (more is more) is a summer dream team.

C/Meo Collective Vice Long Sleeve Top – A floral option with billowing shoulders. Great with distressed denim. The end.

Boots are to Fall what Sandals are to Summer (probably the most obvious thing I’ve ever said). Anyway – the perfect sandal this year is square-toed with a side of extra strappy. Order Up!

LoQ – Ara in Nude Leather – Peachy “Nude” to go with everything, just honestly the most perfect sandals.

Charles and Keith Ankle Tie Square Toe Sandals – A low heel for a warm night out. Ideal with skinny denim or a midi dress.

Intentionally Blank Willow Sandal – Lime Green is an unexpected “neutral” that I adore. These are fun and fresh and definitely an attention grabber!
