SUMMER FRINGE

Overall, sunshine is a winner for beauty. Hello brown legs, natural blonde highlights, freckles and our vitamin D levels soaring through the roof. But the one thing that doesn't love a healthy dose of heat? Fringes.
The styling possibilities for this fringe dress are endless!

{DIY} Five Minute Pom Pom Clutch

Remember how I said last week's DIY was the easiest thing ever? Well I think a pattern may be developing here. I don't know if it's the summer heat or the fact that I've been pressed for time lately, but I'm all about any project that can be whipped up in five minutes flat. The best. So if you have an old clutch lying around that could benefit from a little pom pom-based upgrade, this DIY is for you!

SUPPLIES: CLUTCH | POM POMS (VIA MICHAELS) | E-6000 GLUE

TIME: 5 MINUTES (1 HOUR DRY TIME) | DIFFICULTY LEVEL: EASY 

I thought it would be fun to alternate black pom poms with slightly larger (and incredibly sparkly) gold ones, but pick whatever colors accentuate your clutch best. You could even play around with the spacing or color placements, so get creative! Add a generous amount of glue to the back of each pom pom and press firmly for several seconds to adhere.

Let the glue dry for about an hour, and you should be good to go! Depending on the material of your clutch, you may want to sew the back end of each pom pom to make sure they stay in place, but since I glued my pom poms to my clutch's plastic clasp, this step wasn't necessary for me... just do what works for you, and remember: If a pom pom falls off, you could always glue it back on! #lowmaintenance

TWO WAYS: BRIGHT SUMMER LOOKS WITH PLEATED DETAILS

Super Sunglasses Gals Sunglasses // Need Supply Cross Over Crop Tank // Balenciaga Papier Neo Handle Bag (similar here) // ASOS Pleated Midi Skirt // Enrico Lucgani Checked Pump

Veronique Branquinho Sleeveless Blazer // Olivia Palermo x Westward Leaning Sunglasses // Smythson 1887 Collection Tote // French Connection Chelsea Colorblocked Tote // Pinko Contrast Hem Pleated Skirt // Aquazzura Mayfair Peep Toe Booties (also here)

Elizabeth Minett and Olivia Palermo look stunning in two bright summer looks with pleated details. I'm crushing on Olivia's orange sleeveless blazer, which she wore over a pleated maxi skirt turned dress. Just wish she had switched the heels and bag for simple black options. As for Elizabeth, I love how she gave her pink pleated high-waisted skirt a minimal feel with a black crop top and Balenciaga clutch.

{WW} New In + What's In My Bag

Hello all! I picked up this adorable little clutch over the weekend from Chapter's, and I just couldn't resist showing you guys — not only is it cheap 'n cheerful (under $20 and NEON!), but it's surprisingly spacious as well.

Can we also talk about how neon green is the new neutral? It literally has gone with everything I've worn so far this week... Granted it's only Wednesday, but still. So without further ado, here's what's currently in this bad boy!

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Powder | Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Unapologetic | Nivea Smooth Replenishing hand cream | iPhone (duh) | Michael Kors wallet

Can you believe that giant of a wallet fits in there, with room to spare?! Geesh. Keeping the contents of my bag (and really, the bag itself) light has done wonders for both my shoulder AND my mood, so I think you'll probably be seeing a lot more of this clutch in the months to come... Don't hate.

Thanks for reading love bugs, and happy Wardrobe Wednesday! xx
