Spring/Summer 2016 Essentials

No Comments
 ss16 wants

 My list of wants this season are pretty small since the 70’s trend has continued full speed into this season a lot of the pieces I acquired last year have transferred pretty easily. Off the shoulder is the main trend I’m obsessed with this year and I am definitely looking to add some key pieces to my wardrobe. Everything else is pretty accessories heavy. I’ve been digging strappy shoes for awhile and definitely need a pair of strappy flats to add to my summer rotation. I’m also pretty obsessed with the white sneaker trend. With all the events that go on this season a good walking shoe is essential and a white sneaker is one of the chicest ways to go. And of course everyone needs a chic pair of sunnies to top off any summer look. I’ve been obsessed with the Dior So Real sunnies but I can’t afford to drop $300 on a pair so cheaper knock offs it is!

It’s finally May and that means the unofficial start to summer (memorial day) is just around the corner and so is warm weather! Warm weather, aside from a bunch of wonderful things, can also mean humidity. If your hair is anything like mine, humidity means poofy frizzy hair. The threat of humidity, and a desire to change up my hairstyle more, has lead me to compile some cute summer hairdo’s that will definitely be in my hairstyle rotation as the temperatures rise. Here are my favorites so far:

 1. This awesome two minute beehive by the lovely Tavi.

2.  These Summer Twists from the ladies of A Beautiful Mess

3.This Braided ‘do by Keiko Lynn.

Retro Summer Dreams

       Despite it still being February I can’t help but daydream about spring/Summer and a time when jackets are unnecessary and skirts and dresses can be worn without leggings or tights. As I live in Minnesota and the weather can be rather unpredictable the arrival of spring is always a guessing game. But, given the incredibly mild winter we’ve had so far I can only hope we’ll have a quick jump to spring weather soon. In the meantime I’ve been soaking up all the 50’s inspired Spring/Summer fashion editorials and ads around the web. I’m as sucker for anything 50’s/60’s inspired, especially clothing. I’m always looking to add 50’s inspired element to my wardrobe, so when I saw this Prada ad and the L’Officiel editorial my mind was buzzing with inspiration and longing for summer heat. Enjoy!
