May 21st // 1 Comment

BBQs are one of the best parts of summer and with the official kick off this weekend, I’m deciding what to wear for our Memorial Day festivities. BBQ outfits need to be casual so a few go-to essentials like a sundress for summer, swimsuit and sandals are really all we need. Here are three summer BBQ outfits perfect for any plans, from your backyard to a day at the beach (I’m leaning towards the maxi dress!).

What They Wore! Color Blocking at Cannes

May 21st // Comment Here

What I love about color blocking is that it’s an easy way to wear a lot of color without looking, well, crazy. Check out my top five celebs at the Cannes Film Festival in color blocked evening gowns that looked absolutely gorgeous in this modern style. And while black and white is THE color combination this season, I love how Marion Cotillard and Jessica Biel added in some sunny yellow.
