Flip flops are a mainstay in everyone’s closet during the summer season. Flip flops are great during the summer because they are easy to slip on and off, they are casual, and they are ideal poolside shoes.

There are so many fabulous styles of flip flops for the summer 2015 season. We are seeing boho-chic inspired flip flops, playful beach-vacation inspired flip flops, 1970’s inspired flip flops, and traditional rubber flip flops in both solid colors and patterns. There is definitely a flip flop for every occasion in summer 2015!

I found a few fabulous flip flops around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

I love a breezy skirt for warm, summer days. Since June is here, I have trying to wear my summer wardrobe, despite the fog. When I bought this skirt, I needed to wear it ASAP! This skirt not only offers lightweight fabric, and a breezy silhouette, it has a pretty, eyelet design around the scarf-like hem. Love that!

The fog the past couple of weeks has been unreal. To combat the cold, I have been topping off my summer wardrobe with this denim jacket. It is a must-have in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have always owned a denim jacket; ever since I was in middle school! Denim is the right weight for foggy days in the spring, summer, and fall. I really think it would be difficult to live without a denim jacket! There is no viable alternative for casual, cool, foggy days.

Have you been trying to wear your summer wardrobe these past couple of weeks? Or have you been sticking to your early spring clothing?

*If you are interested in ordering the skirt, I am 5’4″ and wearing a size 6. You can see where the hemline hits me, versus the model.

The past few weeks have been so.very.cold! This is the first week of June, and the fog seems thicker than normal. In addition, the cloud cover seems cooler than normal; and the temperatures feel like what February should feel like! I understand this is due to the El Nino pattern way out there in the ocean, but I hope this cool summer weather from El Nino results in the fabulous torrents of rain El Nino has brought us in the past! Can we say “flood of ’82!” Now there is a story! The huge storm of 1982; it was storm which trapped my family inside our house without power for three days! The upside of the flood was the large amount of rainfall we encountered a few years after a horrible drought. But I digress. . .

Since the weather influences what we wear, I always follow weather patterns in order to set my mood for my own personal style. With cooler temperatures, and the thought of El Nino returning rainfall to California, my mood has turned earthy. This earthy mood of mine is what caused me to choose a boho-chic skirt to wear last week. I love this skirt. It has a “Little House on The Prairie” vibe, as well as a chic hippie vibe; all of which take me back to my childhood and that great El Nino storm of 1982. Perhaps wearing this skirt is my own sort of rain-dance? One can only hope 😉

How has the cool weather affected your personal style, and your mood, these past couple of weeks?
