I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! There’s nothing I love more than being outdoors with my family and friends. Unfortunately, South Carolina is SUPER hot during summer months so sometimes comfort trumps over fashion. The hotter the weather, the less complicated my outfits become. That’s why I like to wear easy, fun accessories that still allow my personal style to shine through even if it’s 100 degrees – Which is actually how hot it was when these pictures were taken!

A Breezy Hat // Perfect for the beach AND bad hair days… At least that’s what I use them for! I love straw hats especially because they allow my skin to breathe. If I’m wearing a ball cap and it’s hot out, the sweat that accumulates causes breakouts (Gross I know, but it happens to all of us!) so a boater or floppy straw hat is a much better alternative.

Lace Up Sandals // Something about lace up sandals reminds me of vacation. They’re easy to throw on during the day and I love changing into a heel or wedge version for nighttime. I’m obsessed with my lace up Soludos. They’re comfortable and the laces actually stay put!

Simple Jewelry // I love timeless, minimal jewelry that can be worn all year round. I’ve accumulated a few investment pieces since high school from David Yurman (This ring, cuff and link bracelet) that I wear on the daily. If you’re looking for beautiful investment jewelry, I always recommend DY. When it comes to affordable pieces that I know won’t turn colors after washing my hands, I stick to a few brands – Madewell and Baublebar have really fun and simple pieces that look great alone or stacked. A few of my current favorites: This gold cuff, this ring and these tassel earrings I’ve wanted ever since I saw them in my local Madewell!

Mirrored/Color Lens Sunglasses // These are such a fun alternative to my regular aviators and I feel like I don’t have to put as much effort as usual into a look when I’m wearing these. I’m loving this unique pair for $55 and this pair is very similar to mine for under $10!

Makeup with Staying Power // In my opinion, this is the ultimate summer accessory. I love trying new makeup products, especially during months when I’m going on vacation and spending more time outside. I need products that won’t melt off of my face! I swear by this translucent setting powder (Try this option if you have dry skin) and this setting spray. I also love this concealer, this foundation, and this matte lip cream (There are a ton of gorgeous colors and it’s under $10!)
