Right now I’m always looking for things that I can wear now, but also continue into fall. A great buy is the classic t-shirt dress. Now it can be worn over a swimsuit to the beach. With a floppy hat and a pair of sandals, it’s perfect for summer! In the fall I can wear it with tights and ankle boots, and maybe throw a cropped jacket on as well. So many outfit possibilities!! Here are a few chic examples from Only!

Animal print seems to be a staple that continues to be in style. It’s a trend that still doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon. Access your own animal instinct with a cute animal print top or cardigan like these by Mink Pink. I also love wearing just a touch of animal print on a scarf or bag – tres cool!

Bland? Boring? Not even close. One of fall’s “it” colours (but still appropriate for summer), grey can be beautiful in its simplicity. Brighten it up with bold jewelry, or just wear it as is. I love the idea of showing off the girl as opposed to the dress. Sometimes you don’t need anything more than that.

Pale coloured jeans are still on my radar right now. I love ‘em tight but still stretchy and comfortable. These jeans look great with an oversize button down shirt and some sexy strappy sandals. Even in the fall I love wearing mine tucked into a pair of ankle boots with a plaid shirt.

It seems that we’re always searching for that perfect pair of jeans. The ones with the perfect fit; tight, but not too tight with our ideal wash. With Rock & Republic (seen above) you will definitely be one step closer to finding yours. This famous denim brand is known for quality – making jeans perfect for your body. I have probably worn my pair more often than anything else in my wardrobe. They fit me like a second skin and work with everything. And if you’re worried about the price tag, Agent 99 has all Rock & Republic now 50% off! It doesn’t get much better than that!!

The sun is shining, and summer is too short to let all these pretty colours pass us by. Gone are the days of dreary shades, now is the time to spice up my wardrobe with a cheerful colour palette. The shades of light pink, crisp blue, and soft beiges put me in the perfect summertime mood. I love light coloured peach-pink tops with a pair of shorts and simple necklace. It’s a great way to beat the heat.

Monochrome black & white fashion is one of the simplest but also most stylish looks to try right now. It’s great for a fairly effortless travel wardrobe in the summer, and it can look great with a bright necklace or hair piece. Obviously it’s too hot to wear a lot of black right now, so a white lace top like this from BB Dakota is cute with just a little black top showing underneath.

This fashion look is smart, crisp, and fun as you can come up with new ways of working such simple pieces with more daring accessories. A simple white dress, also from BB Dakota is perfect for a day at the beach. Or try a pair of sleek black pants for an evening out.

Add a bit of edge to your style with a few tough girl pieces. They require quite a bit of courage, but it’s fun to take your style to the darker side. To test out this look, try studs (on the shoulders, collar, or even jewelry); lots of black, silver and gold; tough, strappy sandals; and/or skinny jeans or jeggings. If you’re not ready to go all out, mix the soft and the hard to create a look that mixes these two elements.

Lace is a big trend this summer and heading into the fall season. I love lace dresses and tops, like these from Kopa and BB Dakota. If you’re not ready to go all out, try a dress with lace detailing and minimal accessories. For a more casual look, this feminine texture looks great paired with skinny jeans. I especially love the crisp white hues for summer – it keeps the outfit light and fresh.

It’s time to show off your legs with a pair of denim shorts! This is such a huge streetstyle trend with lots of celebs wearing a pair of cut-off, ripped up denim shorts. Some pairs are DIY distressed style while others perfectly hemmed. Wear them with a cute tank top and a pair of flat sandals for a guaranteed chic summertime outfit.
