“Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time”

– Jean-Michel Basquiat

Happy Friday and happy almost 4th of July!! I am heading home to Columbus on Monday for a week to celebrate the 4th with my family and to see Taylor Swift!!! I CAN NOT WAIT!! Taylor is going to be amazing! I hope she brings someone on stage with her. Last time she was in Columbus she did not have anyone make a surprise cameo. If I could choose someone I am hoping either Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, or John Legend (he is from Ohio). We will see!

As an active kid growing up the thought of protecting my skin from the sun never crossed my mind. I thought using SPF sunscreen was for sensitive skin and mine easily bronzed. The only time I would put SPF on my body is when we were down south in Mexico or one of the Islands where the sun was much more intense. But for the days I laid out by the pool, the only lotion touching my Ohio skin was tanning oil. I didn’t want protection from the sun, I wanted a tan body. During the winter seasons when you still need sun protection I never thought twice about my moisturizer having SPF. Why would I need SPF when I was mostly covered, I thought.

summer hats

 

When it comes to summer dressing there is a lot of ways we can play with our style. One of the biggest trends right now is summer hats. Of course hats have always been in style, but I have seen more and more women walking around with a sunhat or fedora on. Maybe this is due to the rising awareness of sun protection or maybe it’s simply a chic fashion statement. Either way adding a summer hat can really change up your look. Personally in the summer I often reach for a hat to wear, especially if I know I am going to be outside for a long period of time. I wear my summer hat to the pool/beach, shopping around the city, having drinks on the rooftop with friends, and to events. When I do add a hat to my outfit I always feel a little more glamours and chic. I currently own the classic panama hat and this cute wide brim hat. I would love to add this boater hat with white ribbon for fashionable looks and this darling pink ribbon sunhat for the pool. Hats truly are the perfect finishing touch to any outfit you may be wearing.

summer outfits

 

Summer is a time for travel, celebrations, concerts, and rooftop drinks with friends. We are out and about during this season which means we tend to shop more for outfits to wear. When we are trying to save for that European vacation we have always dreamed of, buying a new outfit from our favorite designers for each event does not always look good on our finances.  Sometimes a gal needs to put herself on a budget. Finding great items for less than $100 will have your bank account thanking you instead of screaming at you. Here are some of my current favorite summer styles that won’t make you count your pretty pennies for your next vacation.
