Classic Summer Style | Summit Fair



The holiday weekend is almost here, it's so close!!! Today I am sharing this super cute summer look that's perfect for hanging out with family, picnicking, backyard barbecuing, or shopping and brunch. I plan on doing all of these things this weekend! What do you have planned? 

This chic striped dress is perfect for the fourth of July weekend so I paired it with my favorite mauve pink instead of red for a more girly look. I thought I'd switch up the color combo just a bit instead of being totally patriotic looking. This dress is super light weight and comfortable which is perfect for the hot and humid summer days we've been having here in KC! 

All the items from this look or linked below or you can shop them now by heading to Summit Fair!

Have a fun and safe Fourth of July Weekend! xo

Your Life Styled


Summer has been hot in Kansas City! It's been a steamy 95 to 100 degrees almost every day this week! Whooo! It's so hard to be stylish and comfortable in these insane temps! To stay cool I've been wearing some of my favorite summer dresses with simple jewelry styling. I love a bold dress that makes a fun statement without having to add too much to it. This Banana Republic floral midi dress is light weight, easy-breezy, and I love the flowy skirt and sassy slit! I always gravitate towards a dress with a vintage flare and this one has a bit of a fifties glam girl vibe! It seems like as soon as summer hits I live in dresses like this one. I love the girly feeling of a full skirt and heels.

Things I look for when shopping for the perfect summer dress:

·        * Versatility – I love a dress that can be worn for several things, weddings, lunch with girlfriends, to the pool, etc. If I can wear a dress for several different events or occasions and style it up several ways; that makes it a keeper for me!

·         *Fit & Style – I have a few favorite dress fits that make me feel my best.  Empire waist, wrap dresses, and a dress with a thicker straps or sleeves tend to fit my body shape best.  Finding what styles fit me and make me feel comfortable is the first step in knowing where to start when shopping.

·        * Color & Print  – I am a girl who loves to play with color and print. Although it’s easy for me to gravitate towards black and white, summer is the perfect time to add some new colors or patterns into my wardrobe. I always try to keep that in mind when shopping. This pretty floral print stood out to me when I was shopping online and I loved that it still has a sophisticated look.

Summer Black & White Classic | Summit Fair


Summer is in full swing! It's been hot, hot, hot, in Kansas City the last several days. Nothing but blue skies and early 90's temps..I love it! To keep cool I've been styling some of my favorite summer dresses with simple statement jewelry for an easy breezy look and some extra comfort during the warm days. Maxi dresses are always a summer favorite for me, but finding one with great fit can sometimes be a challenge. I'm short and I have a shorter waist also so a long maxi dress can sometimes look like way too much on me. Here are a few tips when looking for the perfect maxi to fit your body type. 

*Length - For me this is the most important factor because I'm shorter, but it can also be important to think about the length if you are taller as well. A maxi dress that falls right below your ankles is ideal. You don't want to trip on your skirt, but you don't want to look like your dress shrunk in the wash either. 

*Defined the Waist - Make sure your maxi dress has some kind of waist detailing. A drawstring cinch, a belt, or a seam, helps create balance in your proportions and will keep you looking slender. 

*Neckline - the neckline is another factor that makes a big difference when it comes to creating body proportion. A v-neck elongates your torso and it's important if you are shorter like me and want to pull off a long length dress. Another tip for elongating is to wear a long length necklace that will also pull your eye downward creating the illusion of a longer torso.

Cold Shoulder Trends | Summit Fair



Hey, there! I'm back after a bit of a blogging break last week. It's been pretty busy over here getting ready for my August wedding, doing some photo shoots, and working with my amazing clients on remixing their summer wardrobes. I've been scouting Summit Fair too, looking for the hottest trends in the stores right now. The cold shoulder trend is not going anywhere! These super cute tops and dresses are on display in just about every store and they are so adorable! I couldn't help but snatch-up this one from the buckle, and how amazing is this minty color! Anything that's comfortable and stylish is always on the top of my shopping list. What I love about this trend is that it comes in many different styles and silhouettes and I feel like anyone can pull it off! Give it a try next time you are out shopping!
