Whether you are getting all dolled up for a fun night out on the town, or looking for a comfy sandal to slip into for a day shopping or strolling the boardwalk, sandals are a must all summer long! Plus, how else are you going to show off your beautiful pedicures?!

"I am already feeling anxiety and sadness about the day that my brand new black sandals will be worn to death and I will have to throw them away. That's how much I love them." ~ Dhani Mau

One of my favorite things about Summer (there are A LOT), is all of the great summer styles. For me at least, my style really comes out during those warm Summer months. (It's a lot easier to think about style when you're not just trying to keep warm all Winter!)

A big part of style is hair. Depending on how you look at it, summer hair is a curse or a blessing. It can be a challenge to get/keep the hair style you want when you spend the day at the beach or on a boat. An even bigger challenge if you plan on heading right into a fun summer night immediately after.

Braids, Buns and WavesIt's all about knowing you, what you need and when you need it. For instance, finally in my twenties I know that if I keep my hair in a braid and/or bun during a day at the beach or on the boat, I can easily wear that style right into the night - or, if I'm lukcy I can let it down and it will have turned into nice Summer waves (but I never fully count on that happening). With my hair, I usually completely write-off straight hair in the Summer, unless I know I will have plenty of time to get ready - and then I still carry a hair-tie for later in the night!


Summer is all about going with the flow - and your style should reflect that!
