A continuation from yesterday’s post, color story: black & white, I’m highlighting black & white again today! I picked up the comfy shirt from Madewell last summer and it remains a favorite for these sunny days. A pair of denim cutoffs and slides make for a great casual look.

I’m sure you’ve noticed my love for neutrals, clean lines, and black apparel! I do enjoy color, but I’ve never really been a fan of wearing it. More of an admirer, I guess. Here are a few black & white pieces that have caught my eye. How great are those Vince flats?!

I’ve been admiring lighter colors since the weather has been so gorgeous and sunny! All-white and some neutrals are the right mix of causal chic. A nude clutch or bag is a wardrobe must-have, and I love the minimalist style of this one from Phillip Lim.
I’m ready for the weekend!

I love the asymmetrical drape of the pleats on this LBD. They add just the right amount of movement and interest to a blouson dress. I decided on a combination of simple black and silver accessories, so not to take away any attention from the style of the dress. A fun addition to my Summer dresses!

Here are a few products to assist with oil control and the unwanted glow that comes with a muggy Summer. I have very oily skin to begin with, and when the humidity rises so does the unwanted shine on my face. Seriously, there are days that I look like I just finished running a marathon, but I really just walked outside of my house. Ugh! I’m currently in search of a lightweight moisturizer for Summer. Any suggestions?
I’m admiring this beautiful Saint Laurent Baby Sac de Jour! In this neutral color, Fog, it’s the perfect investment bag to carry for years and from season to season.

A pair of distressed jean sorts, v-neck tee and sandals are usually my Summer uniform! Chicago has been receiving cooler temps and a lot of rain these past few months. While this is better than snow and sub-zero temperatures; some real heat and sunshine would be awesome! Especially since this past weekend marked the beginning of Summer!
Have a great weekend!

Summer is by far, my most favorite time of the year. I love the heat, sunshine, and lighter apparel and accessories. Here are a few items that I’ve been eyeing and could easily wear on repeat.
