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! 


How to Wear: 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,

Spring Wish List

Spring Wish List

Hello! Over the weekend I went to Chicago with my family. We stayed downtown and I was able to do some shopping while I was there! I haven't been to Chicago for a few years, and I forgot how much I adore Michigan Ave. and The Magnificent Mile! I spent Saturday shopping at my favorite stores such as; Nordstrom, Forever 21, H & M, and most importantly, Zara & Topshop! We don't have either Zara or Topshop in Michigan, so I was thrilled to find both stores in Chicago. I've been to Zara a few times, when I lived in Florida. But I had never been into a Topshop before. I quickly fell in love with everything in that store! I could have spent hours there, trying on beautiful clothes & getting inspired through their style. I did buy a few things, but throughout the day I saw some amazing pieces that I didn't buy (even though I wanted to!) And I thought it would be a good idea to share some of them on my blog. I hope you enjoy my fun finds, and that you can be inspired to go out and do some spring shopping!

Some Of My Favorite Spring Things...

Spring Favorites

Now that it is March, we can finally start to see the end to this long and cold winter here in Michigan! Despite the large amount of snow that still lingers outside my house, I can write this post with excitement, because spring is hopefully on it's way! I decided to make a list of my current favorite spring things. I have a very large list, so this is only the beginning  of my favorites! I will soon be posting spring looks, spring break vacation outfits, and ideas on spring cleaning & getting your home ready for warmer weather! I hope you can enjoy my favorite things about spring… I would love to hear what you love about spring as well! 

Maeve embroidered dress

I adore floral prints in the spring. Who doesn't… am I right?!

J Crew white tee

Baseball shirts are definitely making a big comeback in fashion right now, and I love it. They are really comfy, I love this one from J.crew!


J.Crew straight leg jeans

I can't wait to roll my jeans up and wear anything but boots!! These jeans are great for a casual look, or you can always dress them up with a fun pair of heels!


Valentino studded shoes

These shoes are gorgeous! I love the straps, the studs, and the pretty pale pink color!


Roman Luxe wide gold band ring

I have been obsessed with druzy stones for awhile now. You can wear them with just about anything. Its an instant way to glam up any outfit!


Pink shades are great for spring. Keep your makeup subtle on the eyes and checks, and pump up your lips with a nice pink gloss!



Who doesn't love a gorgeous bouquet of flowers on their coffee table or desk? I love brightening up a room with fresh flowers as often as I can!



Kate Spade fig candle

I almost always have a candle lit at home. It makes your workspace, or living room feel 100 times cozier!

Finally, if you didn't watch The Oscars this year, it was amazing! Ellen hosted, which was hilarious (I love her!) and there were some great wins for some phenomenal films. But as always, my favorite part of The Oscars, is watching the beautiful actresses walk down the red carpet in gorgeous designer gowns! My favorite dress this year was made by Prada, and worn by the adorable Lupita Nyong'o, from "12 Years a Slave." She looked like a modern day Cinderella, and I swooned every time we got a glimpse of that stunning gown!


Thanks for reading this post! I will be posting again on thursday- so keep your eyes open for more from Shop Jolie!
