"Summer Essentials"
I want to introduce to you one of my best friends, Melissa.

Melissa works in Los Angeles in the fashion world...her latest task for working for Monarchy a men's clothing line! She has a great sense of style and ALWAYS knows what is in and what will last!! 
So without further ado...here is Melissa....

When Brittany asked me to guest post on this topic I was more than thrilled!  I know the thought of revamping your wardrobe every season can be a little overwhelming (not to mention expensive!), so I decided to create a little cheat sheet for all you out there who want to update your summer closet with some very chic (and affordable) essentials. 

Whether you are spending your summer months vacationing on the beach, BBQ-ing with friends, or just trying to stay cool, these must-haves will keep you looking fashionable right into the fall. Enjoy!

1. Crochet cover up
Forever 21 Crochet Sweater Tunic 
I first saw crochet all over the Spring/Summer 2010 runways and couldn't wait for the trend to hit stores.  This summer must-have is perfect for covering up your favorite bathing suit or layering over a tank and cut-offs.  I picked this item up a couple weeks ago and can't stop wearing it!

2. Denim cut-offs

Urban Outfitters Urban Renewal Cutoff Denim Shorts $28.00
Now I couldn't mention denim cut-offs above and then not show you where to find the perfect ones, right?  My favorite affordable option are these from Urban Outfitters.
If these are a little too ripped or short for you check out this option from American Eagle
AE dark skinny bermuda short $39.50

3. LDD (Little denim dress)
(on sale YAY!)

Okay, can I just say how ecstatic I am that I can start wearing my denim dress from the 90s again?  Anything denim is in this summer and I couldn't be happier.  Here are a few options just in case you don't have that old one lying around anymore :)

 
(this dress a steal on sale from $108) 

4. The Perfect Mix and Match Skirt
I've recently re-discovered delias.com and realized that they have so many affordable and chic options for my summer wardrobe.  This skirt particularly caught my eye because I can easily mix it with many of the tops I already own.  Plus, polka dots are just so cute! 

(Be sure to sign up for their mailing list, they are always offering promotion codes and discounts!) 


5. Neon Studded Sandal
This sandal style combines my last 2 favorite summer trends.  Neon AND studs.  Throw these shoes on to dress up any summer outfit! 


Happy shopping everyone! <3
