Get some leopard in the mix

As you might be able to tell from my Instagram outfit photo, I'm very on board with the leopard trend that's happening this summer.

It's all about the sweetheart neckline

I actually just placed an order for this very dress. I'm really into the sweetheart neckline—a trend I've been spotting everywhere—and think it will be my go-to style to wear all summer long.

The earrings everyone is ordering

Good things come in twos

Right now, I can't help but notice all of the cool tops that coordinate with pants or skirts. While I usually avoid a head-to-toe look, matching sets suddenly feel fresh and cool.

When it comes to hats, the bigger the better

Get creative with your color choices

Right now, there hasn't really been one standout color of the moment. With rapid pace we're moved through lavender, yellow, orange, and lime green. But one thing is for sure, it's all about embracing vibrant colors.

The swimsuit style we didn't see coming

When it comes to fashion trends, not much surprises me at this point. But tankini swimsuits? That I actually want to wear? That, I was shocked by.

Another neckline to consider

Whether you're looking for tops or dresses, it's all about the neckline at the moment. Square shapes are becoming hugely popular and I'm all for them.

The Cinderella shoes we've been waiting for

I've dubbed these clear PVC shoes, "Cinderella" shoes because they are what I imagine she would wear in 2018.

And now, more travel clothes you'll want to pack on your summer vacation.
