This is one of my favorite pairs of statement earrings for summer 2017. I wear them often! I love the movement statement earrings provide; plus, they brighten up simple outfits. Also, I love how they add color to my dark hair.  They really look amazing with any hair color since bold earrings add color and dimension. Love that!

Statement earrings are a huge trend for summer 2017. They were all over the runways for spring/summer 2017, and they are all over the streets right now! If you have not jumped on this trend yet, now is the time to hop on!

From top left: hot pink beaded drop statement earrings / silver circles statement earrings / green tassel earrings (color of the year!) / rose gold earrings (so sleek and perfect for evenings!) / black and white ball drop earrings / ivory and gold statement earrings (on my wish list!) / bold gold statement earrings / cobalt blue ball earrings (I own these in pink and LOVE them!)

There is no better way to dress up a basic outfit then with a pair of statement earrings. As we head into the hot summer months, our clothing becomes more simple, and comfortable; in order to help us stay cool. With simpler ensembles, there is a need to try and remain fashionable while expressing our personal style. Statement earrings can help us do that!

When temperatures hit 90 degrees, most of us reach for a simple sundress, or a pair of shorts, with a tee, and flip flops. The only way to spice up a simple outfit such as this, is with jewelry. Sometimes bracelets and rings can be uncomfortable in hot, sticky weather since our fingers can sometimes swell in the heat. This leaves necklaces, and earrings, for dressing up our hot weather looks. I find earrings to be the most comfortable option. Three cheers for the statement earring trend for summer 2017!

There is no better time than the present to bring out bold, statement earrings on casual days, or fun summer nights. They are so easy to add to any outfit!

Currently, I have been wearing these hot pink ball earrings, and this pair of ivory tassel earrings non-stop with my casual attire. For summer, I definitely would like to add this silver pair, and this ivory and gold pair.

Which earrings are your favorite for summer? Are you ready to rock the statement earrings trend for summer 2017? If you are already wearing this hot trend, what are your earrings to wear for summer?

Wearing: Kendra Scott earrings / YSL lipstick / pink ruffle top c/o SheIn (under $20!!) / Chanel spring nail polish / watch c/o Welly Merck (use code BAF20 to save 20%) / rose gold ring / boyfriend jeans (similar here) / tote c/o Boutique Mexico /  suede slides c/o Donald J Pliner

One of the biggest trends this year is tiered ruffle sleeves. Ruffle sleeves seem to be everywhere for spring; despite the fact that they did not dominate the runways. This has turned into a trend which is well-loved by the street; unlike most street style trends, this is a flirty and feminine style trend. Love it!

I was thrilled to find this cute pink top with tiered ruffle sleeves for the spring season. Not only does it cost under $20, it is right on trend. The fabric is easy to to iron and stays wrinkle-free after ironing. I ironed this top, and then wore it  to run errands for about three hours before my daughter snapped these pictures; and it looks great! Love that!

Isn’t this tote bag cute?! There is a huge trend right now towards couture from Mexico. It is one of the hottest up-and-coming regions for hand-made fashion. This tote was hand-made in Talum, Mexico. I have a full review of this tote and the company coming up on the blog this Friday-so stay tuned!

If you are looking for a graduation gift, Mother’s Day gift, Father’s Day gift, or a gift for yourself, check out this Welly Merck watch. You can save 20% off your purchase with coupon code BAF20. My full review is online here.

Back to this tiered ruffle sleeve top, I have fallen in love with this spring trend. I know I will find myself wearing this top often this spring; and on cool summer days when the fog rolls in over the Santa Cruz Mountains. You can find this fun and flirty top for under $20 online here.

denim trend spring summer 2017

Denim for spring 2017 is a huge trend which originated on the runways. Of course, one could argue that denim is always hot, but this season, it is hotter than hot! So it ground-breaking, in a way. Ha!

This is a fabulous trend for spring and summer since denim is casual by nature; and denim is always comfortable! This means you can look fashionable, and fabulous, while wearing something practical, washable, and comfortable. Love that!

Denim is being found on everything for spring from shoes to handbags to accessories to clothing. There is something for everyone in denim this season. Even on a hot summer day, when jeans are too thick, you can rock a denim handbag or a pair of denim shoes, and still be wearing the denim trend for spring and summer.

In the collage above, I placed my favorite pieces in denim for spring 2017. I have also included more of my favorite denim pieces for spring in the scroll bar below. How do you plan to wear denim for spring this year? Is this a trend you plan to rock for spring and summer 2017?
