Summer Style

"It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project." - Carolina Herrera

Summer is in full swing - and I'm looking forward to these warm months ahead! During this season I love wearing pops of color and wearing super stylish pieces.

Today, I am sharing my summer must-haves that are in my closet!

Strappy Sandals

When the sun is out, I love wearing sandals! They are the perfect compliment to any outfit. Whether, the shoe has a heel or is flat, they are the summer staple I look forward to wearing around town.

The Perfect Purse

I tend to wear smaller purses in the summer to carry my essentials. Also, I love getting a handbag that has a pop of color or a neat embellishment or design to pair with my outfit. Purses can totally brighten up any look!

Daring Denim

I love jeans, and any time I can pair them with a t-shirt or bodysuit I'm thrilled. I'm loving mom jeans lately, they are so comfortable and have a relaxed feel. Also, jeans that are distressed and have a casual vibe to them are my absolute fave.

Short Shorts

Finding the perfect shorts can be a little bit tricky, but when you find the right one it's perfect! Shorts are the perfect alternative to jeans and dresses. They are ideal for casual weekends, and so easy to dress up or down.

The Ultimate Bodysuit

Bodysuits, are my new favorite thing. It is super important to find the proper fit that flatters you. This is my new summer staple that I'll be rocking on the weekends. Also, they are beyond comfortable!

What are some of your favorite Summer fashion staples? Happy Summer shopping ladies!

Cork & Fork: Classic Summer Pairings

"I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food." - W. C. Fields

Now that the warmer months are here, I tend to eat a lot of grilled foods and delicious salads! Today, I am pairing my favorite grilled lemon pepper wings and avocado salad to two amazing white wines. Typically, I am a red wine drinker, but when I'm relaxing in my backyard and soaking up the sun - a crisp white wine is my ultimate fave.

Below are my favorite pairings, and I'm matching these two dishes with wines from Total Wine.
