wearing: bold silver earrings / lipstick / sunglasses / denim dress (runs large-order one size down) / silver and black leather watch / mixed metal bangle set / Chanel summer nail polish / blue circle bag / silver mules (on major sale!!)

Denim has to be my favorite all-time fabric. I love how it feels, how strong it is, and how it can fuse together a casual vibe and put-together look. In addition to denim, I love chambray since it’s still stronger then other fabrics. When I spotted this summer dress, I instantly feel in love with the thick chambray fabric, dark denim wash, tie sleeves, and versatile collar.

One of the cool things about this dress is that both shoulders can be worn up to look modest; or you can also wear one shoulder down, or both shoulders down. It sits best with one shoulder down. This feature gives the dress a day-into-evening vibe which is great for summer!

I’m super excited about these mules too! They are currently on major sale, which makes the price under $100!! Mules are so chic and on trend right now, I love how this pair incorporates all of the current shoe trends while being so comfortable! If you’re looking for the perfect pair of mules, these come in five colors and can be found online here.

Dior nail polish summer 2018 review

Dior has such pretty and vibrant colors for the summer 2018 season! The summer 2018 nail polish collection offers four bright hues; Blop, Wizz, Splash, and Pow. I purchased Blop, Splash, and Wizz for the summer season. I had trouble finding Pow in stock, and wasn’t sure I wanted to wear orange nail polish this season, so I passed. The other three colors are really pretty, and fit perfectly into the summer 2018 color palette. Love!

The nail polish hues from Dior’s summer 2018 beauty collection are part of their gel shine and long-wear collection. They are all really strong polishes. I love how chip resistant they are! This is important during the summer months when we are all active; and nail polish tends to chip more easily. These will be great polishes for the active summer since we won’t have to worry about chips! Love that!

If you aren’t familiar with Dior nail polish, the application brush makes it easy to paint your nails. It offers medium thickness and a flat silhouette, so the nail polish covers more nail with each stroke. This makes nail painting go by quickly! All of these polishes offer a high shine, and a cream polish finish which applies evenly, without streaking. So, without further ado, here are the three colors I love from the Dior summer 2018 nail polish collection!

Dior nail polish summer 2018: Dior Blop

This is Dior Blop nail polish from the summer 2018 collection. It looks like a light navy blue in these photos. That is also the color is appears to be when indoors. In outdoor light, Dior Blop takes on more of a violet hue. This polish definitely has purple undertones, which makes it a fun blue to pair with 2018’s color of the year; Ultra Violet.

I tested out Dior Blop nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color. It offered an even application without streaking, and beautiful color saturation. Since this is a gel, it does not need a top coat; it’s really strong on it’s own!

Dior nail polish summer 2018: Dior Wizz

Dior Wizz nail polish summer 2018

Dior Wizz nail polish is the coral of the summer! There are very slight sparkles in this polish giving it some dimension. If you prefer classic nail polish colors, this is a fun hue for the summer which offers both fashion-forward, and classic styling. My Mom has already taken this bottle away from me. She loved the color!

I tested out Dior Wizz nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. Again, it did not need a top coat since it’s a gel. This is a really pretty, classic hue which can be worn for many summers to come; if you don’t use up the bottle before then! haha

Dior nail polish summer 2018: Dior Splash

Well, if you have been following along for awhile, you already guessed this was my favorite color from the Dior nail polish summer 2018 collection! I love the bright, oceanic blue. It’s bright, fun, and plays well with the summer 2018 color palette. This will be the color I reach for the most often this summer season. Love it!

I tested out Dior Splash nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color. It offered high shine, a beautiful hue, and it stole my heart. I’m looking forward to wearing this summer hue all season long!

Which color is your favorite?

Casual crazy striped dress for summer

summer stripe dress affordable summer dresses casual summer dresses

wearing: rose gold and lilac hoop earrings / lipstick / denim jacket (old, similar here) / striped dress / black convertible shoulder bag / Dior summer nail polish / bold silver and white ring / black espadrilles /

I have always been a fan of stripes, so when I spotted this fun sundress with stripes going in several directions, I had to have it! The fabric is really soft and perfect for hot weather. We had a little bit of fog the other day in the morning, so I topped the dress with my go-to denim jacket to combat the chill. The dress is sleeveless with a scoop neckline. It’s great for hot days!

We took these photos the other day before enjoying a yummy lunch at Lazy Dog Restaurant in Cupertino. My two younger kids were snapping my photos before we ate lunch, and in the photo above I am starting to laugh! Well, more of a scared laugh! My two kids were fighting over who was going to take the pictures; with my precious DSLR in hand! It was funny until the camera almost ate it. Then, it was not funny. Thankfully they worked it out, and each one did half the photos. The photos came out pretty good considering my kids were a bit hyper!

Can you see my nails in these photos? I’m wearing one of Dior’s new summer nail polish shades. Their summer 2018 collection is fabulous! I’m reviewing it on the blog tomorrow, so stay tuned! You will love the pretty and vibrant colors!

OK, back to the dress! If you are looking for a comfortable summer dress you can throw on with flip flops, sneakers, or espadrilles this season, check this dress out. It’s under $100 and perfect as a summer go-to! I’m in love!
