Summer Essentials: Fun in the Sun

I missed blogging for you all last week. I hope you all had a really fabulous Memorial Day and were able to look great while enjoying your long weekend.Have you picked up any summer essentials from Fifi's mentioned in the last post? Please post them and share. I am back with some summer essentials for your wardrobe be sure to hit up Fifi's this week to add to your closet.

Flat Sandal
Flip-flops are great and so are wedges but sometimes you need a bit more dressy than a pair of Rainbows and well sometimes you need a pair flats to wear...especially when that summer dress is already the perfect length and you don't want it any shorter.

Sunglasses
This is a no-brainer, as I mentioned in an earlier post Fifi's carries designer sunglasses. So ladies ditch those generic superstore sunglasses for a that designer pair you've been eying for a fraction of the price. You will not regret it.

Juicy Couture $60 per pair

White Pants
Who remembers the White Hot post? It was all about what else but wearing white this summer, easy enough. Well if you don't want to wear all white at least wear a pair of great white pants (or shorts) and pair it with a brilliantly bright top.

Okay ladies I want to see your summer looks! Tell us what you bought at Fifi's and how you wore it for that perfect day in the sun. We want to see you in that great find!

Summer Essentials: Kick Off

If you don't know already this weekend is Memorial Day weekend. Yay for a long weekend! Along with the Memorial Day weekend comes the kick-off of summer. I am sure most of you have time by the pool planned, along with cookouts and if you are a race fan the big race as well. I am personally hosting a cookout at my home, so along with creating a menu I'm thinking about what to wear. I'm a fashionista, what do expect?

Let's talk about some great ways to kick-off your summer with pieces you won't regret buying.

The Maxi Dress
You want to be cool and breezy but don't want to have to worry about the hassle of a short dress at an outdoor party. I usually have a hard time finding a maxi dress that will fit my short frame but I found last year, and I love it. It is such an easy thing to just throw on and run out the door.

Summer Hat
So, I realize that this may not be at the top of the must have list but it really is a great investment. I bought a white floppy hat last year and I am not looking for another to add to my summer hat collection. It is great for laying out or heading to the beach...it just tops off your look with an effortless look. Plus it is a great way to protect your scalp from sunburn without putting any product on your glamorous beach hair.

Classic Pair of Shorts
What a great way to show of your legs than in a pair of shorts and wedges...show off that tan you are working on. Or in my case, the tan I will never have. It doesn't matter tan or not a guy cannot resist a great pair of legs...or legs...so show them off in a really cute pair of shorts. And when I say cute I don't mean those denim shorts you've been toting around for the last several years.

Summer Dress
We all need a summer dress. Something short. Easy. Cute. Perfect to go run errands (like to Fifi's to do more shopping) or to be outdoors enjoying a drink and burger with friends. The perfect summer dress will take you from all that to even dinner out on a patio.

Those are the summer essentials I am going to cover for your Memorial Day weekend. I hope you all have a great long weekend and you kick-off summer with a bang. Next week I will cover a few more essentials...

If you are wondering what to pair with your shorts because you don't feel like wearing a dress this weekend think thin tees or flowing tanks. And if you are going to wear colored shorts - try colorblocking - or you can just wear a neutral. It is summer time enjoy the bright colors of the season!
