Fruitful

A lot of fruit clothing is on the racks this summer. That makes me very happy, but what to wear with them is the question. Do I want to put them with jeans or match them with some bright colors? I have found that both ways work, but it's summer, so why not take a chance with another bright color?

These are some of the fruit runway looks for this summer. I love Stella McCartney's dress on the left and Prada's banana shirt on the right the best.

The left is another Prada runway look, while the dress in the middle is Stella McCartney. To tell the truth, I don't know the designer of the dress on the right, but it has some cute pineapples!

This dress at H&M is so cute, but when I went to go get it at the store they didn't have it. They also have a bikini in the same print, but it just didn't work on me very well so I didn't get it. I like both pieces, but since H&M's is only $20, I think it is much more possible to get than Prada's shirt.

This pineapple shirt is even more basic than all the other fruit prints, but can give a great pop to an outfit!

Midi-skirts, cat-eye sunglasses, and geometric prints from the 50s and 70s have been making a comeback.

The print on the dress is more 50s. I really like this sundress, it is perfect for a barbecue or just anytime during the summer.

This skirt is also a 50s design. I love the thin brown belt and the pleat.

This 70s dress is so cute. The skirt is so full that it would flatter anyone, whether your hips are full or slim, this dress would do you justice.

This midi-skirt is so easy to throw on the morning and the pleat adds texture if you pair it with a basic top.

The pleat and vibrant color is perfect for summer.

Finally, Mary Kate has some sunglasses on that don't totally cover up her face. These cat-eyes are pretty toned down which is why I like them.

Dot that

Taylor Swift looks fashion forward in a tiny polka dotted bikini. I am not much of a fan of the high rise bottoms, because I think it would be very uncomfortable, but she looks great in the look. The oversize sunglasses and side braid make this a go to look in the summer.

Lauren Conrad takes the dramatic look with bright red lipstick and polka dot dress. The tiny black belt makes her waist look even smaller and her hair as always looks great.

This may not be your summer look, but when the weather gets cooler you can't go wrong with a sweater and polka dot dress. The belt brings the whole outfit together and the leggings make the dots pop.

Summer Whites

Summer's in and so is white! Not only does white help you stay cooler, but it's so easy wear.

I love this picture. The shirt is so breezy and light, perfect for a hot summer day.
This adorable dress is from NastyGirl. I love it.

White dresses are the easiest things to wear. You can easily make them colorful by wearing bright jewelry such as turquoise, or you can just wear it with plain flip-flop or Converse to dress it down.
