For The Love Of Linen

If I could just live in one outfit for the rest of my days I think it would probably be some kind of overalls so, needless to say, when I found these it was pretty much love at first sight.  Aside from the versatility of overalls I'm fond of the lack of effort you need to put into your outfit. You don't really have to think about it, just throw it on & you look put-together. 

And of course, The linen + wide cropped leg is just one big major plus on these. Probably the most comfortable piece of clothing that I own and I am kind of dreading the end of summer just because I don't want to stop wearing them.  I paired them with my beloved sandals I purchased in Athens but really, I could probably put on just about any pair of spring/summer shoes and it'll work just fine. 

And it has pockets! One of my favorite details ever is the addition of pockets. I also really like how the front comes to a V cut as opposed to your typical overall straight cut. I think this gives it more interest and makes it a tad more feminine. They're honestly just a win all around in my book.

Summer Lip Products I'm Loving

Here are the ONLY lip products I've been using and loving this summer. I just opened up my vanity  and went through my summer bags and grabbed everything that I've been using and loving lately.

1. Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Abu Dhabi: Probably one of my favorite lipsticks of all time. It is just the most perfect brownish-nude with a slight hint of burnt orange, I just gravitate toward this color. It is my favorite kind of nude. Aside from the color, NYX soft matte lip creams are one of my favorite formulas because they appear matte on the lips but they do not leave your lips dry at all.

2. Glossier lipgloss: I've mentioned this little guy so much already despite the short period of time that I've actually owned it. It is seriously my favorite lipgloss at the moment. I kid you not, this stuff makes your lips look like glass, so beautiful. It doesn't have any color to it at all but it is probably the most flattering lip product that I own.

3. Nars Lipgloss in Striptease: Oldie but a goodie, I pull this out every single spring and summer. This is the perfect peachy nude color with the most stunning hint of gold shimmer. It looks so beautiful on the lips.

4. Glossier generation G in cake: This is very similar in color to Abu Dhabi but it lasts a lot longer and is a bit more pigmented on the lips than the NYX lip cream. Again, that same brownish-nude with a hint of burnt orange, kind of looks like you've been eating spaghetti but in the prettiest way lol. In love with this color and the formula.

5. Nivea smoothness spf 15 chapstick: Surprisingly, I never really talk about this chapstick but it has always been my go-to. A lot of people mention the importance of spf on your face and body but more often than not everyone forgets to mention how important it is for your lips as well. I have about 5 of these at all times, one is in my vanity, one in almost all of my purses, in my bathroom, somewhere in my miscellaneous kitchen drawer... EVERYWHERE. I have dry lips and this is my savior. It is not a thick formula at all so you might have to re-apply is often but I just love the way this feels on the lips and it works great underneath lipsticks or lipliner.

6. Fresh sugar lip treatment spf 15: This is my go-to for whenever I am going to the beach or the pool. It stays in my beach bag and it is another long time love of mine. This stuff is EXTREMELY moisturizing. I don't use it as much as my Nivea chapstick because it is pretty expensive but I always end up repurchasing it when I run out because it just leaves my lips feeling so nourished.

Two-Piece Sets For Summer

If you saw my spring essentials video  you would've probably seen me mention two-piece sets and how I'm loving them this summer. 

These shorts and this top is actually not sold as a set but I paired them together and absolutely love how it looks.

It's such a lightweight outfit which is perfect for these ridiculously hot days. Plus, they can be mixed and matched with other pieces.

Summer Fashion Trends I'm Loving

1. Linen: I feel like nothing says beach & summer quite like linen. I really love how airy and elegant this fabric is and I am so glad it's EVERYWHERE this summer. I honestly don't think it will ever go out of style and it is definitely a staple in my summer wardrobe.  I got these linen overalls not too long ago and I'm so in love with them, plus they're SO comfortable.

2. Wide Leg Trousers or Culottes: This is another trend that is everywhere this summer that I cannot get enough of. If you saw last weeks post you would've seen my current favorite culottes. Seriously, the most comfortable pants ever and very flattering. These pants are perfect to wear with very cropped or tied-up tops since they are normally very high-waisted.

3. Gingham: This pattern is making a major comeback and I am not mad at it. I styled this gingham romper a couple of weeks ago and that's definitely not the last of the gingham you'll be seeing from me this summer. 😉

4. Flatforms: .. and if they're espadrille then even better! If you read this post you would've seen me go on and on about how I've loved this style ever since I went to Greece. I'm so glad they're so popular here this summer.

5.Woven Bags: You guys have seen me wear my little woven bag a million times but really, I love any woven bag. Woven bags in general are a hit this summer and I absolutely love the touch it adds to every outfit.

6. Tie-up Cut-out Dresses: Doesn't necessarily have to be dresses, you can get this same effect with any really cropped top and flowy, high-waisted bottom that cinches at the waist. It's the peek of the midriff that I think is very flattering.
