After a few years of following each other, and several DMs on Instagram, Erin Busbee of the wildly popular blog Busbee Style and I finally met last month when she was visiting Malibu! We had so much in common and really hit it off, sharing stories of our history on TV, the blogging business, and similar kid stuff! The week after our meeting (and a fun shoot together), Erin so kindly featured me on her blog. Then, we teamed up to be featured on Who What Wear covering our Top 5 Trends for Summer. Below I've published my version of the post for my followers, offering plenty of shopping options with my favorite looks within each trend! Scroll down for more...
1. Matching Sets + Modern Suiting
SHOP Everlane shorts, BA&SH blazer, Michael Stars tank, and Charles and Keith Sandals
Love modern suiting for everything from lunch to a night out on the town!
2. Midi Dresses
Since I am only 5’4, the midi dress length elongates my look and is super flattering. They are my go-to for a chic summer look.
3. Puff Shoulders + Sleeves
SHOP St. Roche top, Agolde denim shorts, and Dolce Vita sandals
I always love a feminine puff sleeve and I’m wearing this white blouse style is a classic must-have in any wardrobe.
4. Baggy + Flared Jeans
SHOP Melissa’s Boyish jeans // SHOP Erin’s Frame jeans
After spending so many months at home in comfy clothing, I finally gave up my skinny jeans and wearing looser more relaxed fits now—this look is fresh and modern!
5. Bold Colors
SHOP White House Black Market dress
I usually wear muted tones but this summer I am excited to celebrate going out again and feeling festive in bolder jewel-toned shades!
SHOP Melissa’s Boyish denim, Ba&sh blazer, Marc Fisher sandals, Polene bag, and Peepers sunglasses
SHOP Erin’s Frame denim, similar sweater, and Saint Laurent sunglasses
