Black & White Beach.

Black & White Beach.

Stripes & polka dots are my go to patterns from the summer. Dress them up or "cas" them down, they add a bit of prep to any look you are going for. When styling polka dots and stripes I prefer to stick with neutrals in the print such as black & white, navy & white, red & white, etc.. However when working with a plain color scheme for the patterns I love to add a splash of color to the outfit in the form of a small accessory or accent piece. In this look i love the bright red handles of the tote to offset the neutral black and cream. A little bit of color can really change the hole look to any outfit, making it more exciting and fun.

Here's my take on mixing polka dots & stripes for a fun day at beach.

I have a sunglasses obsession! I probably have over 15 pairs of different sunglasses 

that get regular use now that sunny days are ahead of us. Since I can't get enough of them I

have put together five pairs that I feel are incredibly unique, amazing quality, & perfect for summer.
