How to Wear: Summer Pants

Hello beautiful ladies! 

So, I had a great weekend celebrating my younger sister's birthday! I spent Saturday eating far too much, seeing "The Other Woman" and driving to Novi for dinner with my family. I wore something a little warmer, it was a chilly day so I wanted to wear something summer-y but comfy. I recently bought a pair of peach pants at Nordstrom Rack and I LOVE them! I bought them originally to wear them with heels, but I wore some glitter flats instead. 

Take a look at my photos from the weekend below… 

My Outfit: Nordstrom top & Pants // forever 21 druzy stone necklace // Gap jean jacket // 

Old Navy glitter flats // forever 21 bag

My Sister's Outfit: Everything forever 21 except necklace, which is from Pitaya 

I love how easy this outfit is. I actually felt like I was wearing my pj's all day! :) 

It's hard to wear long pants in the summer, but I adore these flow-y style pant that is becoming very popular this season. If you are getting sick of dresses, skirts & shorts these pants are a great alternative! 

I made up a few looks with some ideas on how to style these chic and simple summer pants! 

1. This is similar to what I wore this weekend. I love solid prints, flow-y fabrics and heels.   Keep the jewelry simple with this look, a tiny necklace or midi-rings are great!

2.  I adore floral pants this spring/summer! Because the pants have a louder print, wear a basic gray or white t-shirt to tone it down. Very chic and easy! I do think adding a statement necklace goes really well with this look.

3. Crop tops are everywhere this season, and if you are comfortable wearing them, pairing them with a breezy pant is a perfect look for summer! I love how the red stilettos add something extra to this outfit. It's important to keep your neck bare with a top that has more volume to it. I like adding earrings to keep the focus on the layered top.

4. This look is doing the opposite of the 3rd look. I choose something more loud for the top, and simple sandals for the bottom. If you don't like wearing heels, these pants go great with flats and sandals as well. Don't forget a gold statement necklace either!

5. If you want something more cozy and comfy, but still cute, I love this sweater with these pants. Again, sandals go great with this pant style! I also like the boyfriend watch instead of big  earrings or necklace. This look is perfect for a rainy day!

If you are going to a restaurant or a movie theatre where you know the air conditioning will be pumping, bring along a solid blazer or jean jacket to stay warm indoors! 

I hope you enjoyed my looks & styling tips for this easy summer style! Please feel free to comment below with suggestions, tips & your opinion on these looks, I love hearing from you! 

Much Love,

My Spring To-Do List

Happy Thursday! Thank goodness Friday is just a little ways away, am I right? 

I was thrilled to find the sun shinning today.

And the warmer weather has finally started because it was 70 degrees outside! YAY! 

I found a great list on one of my favorite blogs, The Glitter Guide, the other day. They listed their spring to-do list, and this gave me a great idea to make my own, and also share some of the things I want to do over the next few months with all of you! 

Here is their list….

And here are some of the things I want to do this spring, I hope you will have a chance to do them too!

I have several books on my to-read list, but I really want to read Rachel Zoe's new book "Living in Style." it sounds so good!

I want to spend more time exercising. I want to do more yoga, bike riding etc. And I also want to start eating more fruits & veggies. I want to get ready for swimsuit season, while also having fun exercising & eating well.

 It is a great time to go through your home & clean things from top to bottom! I always do my spring cleaning in April, and I go through my clothes at this time as well. When going through the items I want to keep, I also spend time looking at blogs and Pinterest to get ideas for spring trends & new outfit inspirations. I took the pictures from today's post from Tumblr. I love looking at my site to get inspired when re-decorating or changing my wardrobe.

Don't forget to get outside, roll down your windows & let in the fresh breeze! It feels amazing after months of cold and cloudy weather. I like to eat outside at restaurants as often as I can in the spring and summer,
really take advantage of this when you can!

Try out new recipes, buy a bottle of wine you've never had before, 

make a fruity cocktail, buy fresh flowers to add to your coffee table...

Embrace the season through everything that you do! 

 



Now is also the perfect time to buy a cute new umbrella, a sweet floral fragrance, and a new shade of lipstick!   

I hope you enjoyed my list of spring to-do's! What are the things you love about spring? 

Much love,
