Unabashedly Bright

Lilly Pulitzer is almost a southern staple, but you don't have to be a college sorority girl to pull off the cheery prints. My love hate relationship for Lilly continues as I gravitate towards to vibrant colors but shun some of the loud florals that hung in my closet in the year 2000. This simple cotton dress boasts color, but the busy pattern consists of swirls, dots and even a lion if you look closely. I'm a fan of the Palm Beach inspired island attire on this toasty humid day!

White Weather

Though I never abide by the rule to wait and wear white after Labor Day, it's officially the season where it's acceptable to obsessively wear white! Not only is it cool on sun blazing days, but the hue is crisp and effortless. Pair your most eclectic and vibrant accessories to pack a punch against the soft palette. Today's combination is clean white with gold accessories plus a little fun with tortoise and turquoise earrings.
