Cabana Life’s New Summer Collection

Cabana Life’s New Summer Collection

Hello pretty Ladies,

Can you believe how fast Summer is flying by? We’re heading into the 3rd week of July and I can’t believe it. Utah’s Summer weather didn’t kick in until a couple of weeks ago and then it came in blazing! I don’t know about you but I want Summer to slow down a little bite. I need more pool & lake days.

If you have been following me, then you know I am a Cabana Life clothing Partner for 2022 and Have enjoyed sharing the brand and featuring the New launches and styles. When I caught sight of this Eyelet collection I was smitten.

Cabana Life’s New Summer Eyelet Collection

Cabana Life is known for spf50 swimwear and resort wear. Designed by a Skin cancer survivor. This new Eyelet collection is a little different for Cabana Life as it’s still Spf50 protection but it’s more of daily summer wear versus resort or swimwear.

Eyelet has always been one of my favorite summer fabrics and when I saw this pink tie-shoulder dress, I knew I needed it in my summer dress collection and you do too.

Shop the Outfit below:

Styling the Pink Eyelet Midi Dress

From boardwalk to brunch this midi dress can take you anywhere! The adjustable tie straps, smocked bodice & elegant eyelet details make this style ultra feminine & flattering. Complete with a UPF 50+ lining so you can stay sun safe & stylish. Comes in three colors, Blue, Pink, and White.

Super easy to wear and style with ease. Add a Straw bag and even a Straw hat, cute summer sandals, and your set.

The Eyelet Collection

The collection consists of 4 Dresses and each dress comes in three colors. White, Pink, or Blue. Below are the 4 dress styles to choose from:

7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe!

July 12, 2022

7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe!

Hello Pretty Ladies, I hope you have a great start to your week. Today, I have a fashion segment on Good Things Utah. I have chosen to share with you the 7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe on the segment! Of course, it’s always great to use what you have and “shop your closet,” but adding a few pieces to “freshen up your Summer wardrobe” can be affordable and give your wardrobe a minor update.

I have chosen seven essential items that help do just that! Affordable, classics, and a couple of HOT Trending items. Want to watch the segment live? You can stream it Here at 10:00 am mnt. If you miss it, I will Link it Here after the show.

Update your Summer Wardrobe

1. Oversized button up-

white or stripe for the coastal vibe or bright and colorful. Great to style with shorts, over a tee shirt dress, or worn with linen pants. Every wardrobe needs a good button-up.

2. Linen Pants –

(Old Navy & Target have great $20-25 ones) Linen is a Classic Summer staple. With so many ways to style with ease, perfect pants forTravel as well!

3. Straw/Raffia-

A great way to add texture to your outfit. Whether a hat or a bag, this gives your look that Summer vibe! This is also a great way to add in a style that might be trending. You can find either one at all price points, and I am sharing a couple from Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom.

Hats

Bags

4. Nude Sandals-

A great nude sandal is always a classic wardrobe builder but is also fun to add to a trending style. Sides, braided, and transparent looks are trending, which gives a great update to your wardrobe.

5. 2 Piece Sets-

TRENDING A two-piece set is having a big moment right now, and I love it! Great for Traveling, so easy to style, and a great way to mix and match.

You can find sets in Shorts, pants, and skirt sets. Today I am featuring this great chambray pant set! Perfect pieces to mix and match.

6. Colorful Printed Dress-

Have you noticed every summer that there’s a certain print you see a ton of for that season! It’s a great tip to pick up a dress in that Seasons “It pattern.”

Instant wardrobe update, easy and fun to wear, and you can grab an affordable dress at H&M, Target, and Walmart, an excellent Style tip for shopping seasonal trendy pieces.

7. Bangles-

I love Arm candy or a great bracelet stack. Whether you love color, beads, or gold, adding an excellent bracelet stack adds texture and looks pretty on your wrist with the shorter summer season tops, Tanks, and dresses. This Amazon set is a deal… set of 4

4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear

June 22, 2022

4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Summer is finally here, and I have styled 4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear. Four affordable and easy-to-wear dresses you’ll wear all summer long. I don’t know about you, but I love a dress I can wear with just sandals or dress it up a bit with accessories. Summer is all about easy wear and effortless style.

Not only is it easy to style and easy to wear, a factor for summer, but so is a dress you can wear at any age. If you have been following me for a while, I don’t put an age on style. Style is truly what you feel good in. But, these four dresses from Amazon do work for any age. It’s all in how you style them.

Cream Tank 3 Tired Dress

A cream cami strap dress for $24.99 that hits at the knee, is a great basic dress any body type could wear along with any age. I love its almost linen feel, Hides a tummy if you have one and can be worn with or without a little jacket. I’ve styled it with my favorite sandals & bag this summer.

Shop The Look Below:

Lace and Cold Should Tee Shirt Dress

Everyone needs a new little black dress for $25.99 for the summer, and this tee shirt style, cold shoulder, and detailed lace dress is perfect. Another easy-to-wear fits all body types and ages. It hits right above the knee (reminder, I am 5’9 1/2), perfect to wear over a swimsuit or dress it up for a summer date night or lunch with the girls.

I’ve paired it with neutral accessories, a straw bag, and strap sandals, but you could easily pair it with a pop of color for a different Summer vibe.

Shop the photos Below:

Floral Printed Cold Shoulder Dress

Cold Shoulder Dress with tassel details, flowy ruffled sleeve detail also hits above the knee. A deal at $28.99, Easy fabric to wear, comes in several patterns and colors. It hits at the knee, hides a tummy if you have one, and can be easily styled for vacation or a casual summer day.

I styled this again with neutral accessories to give that beachy vibe. A handmade bamboo bag by Cult Gaia

( more affordable version here) or this cute straw bag, Cute gold chain detail clear & neutral slides $29 and straw neutral hoops.

Shop the Photo Below:

Strapless Dress with Ruffled Hem

Little black strapless dress $19.99. I love a good strapless dress. Strapless dresses are easy to throw on over a swimsuit, and you can quickly wear them from the pool to lunch. This dress is a touch see-thru, so I wore a little slip underneath; not necessary if you wear it for a swimsuit cover-up.

I’ve styled it to wear on a little afternoon date with my hubby—a denim jacket with pearl details for a little more dressed-up feel. I finished off the look with black quilted slides (old). I linked similar HERE. These pearl slides would be adorable, pearl hoop earrings, More affordable hoops here, and a Victoria Emerson cuff.

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

June 20, 2022

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

Hello pretty ladies, I hope you had a great weekend.

We spent the weekend in Park City for Father’s Day, as my hubby wanted a little getaway. It was nice to relax and have a slight change of pace. Don’t you love a weekend getaway?

Today, I want to share a great Amazon find: two-piece tropical printed short set. So affordable at $29 for both pieces and comes in several prints and color choices.

Short sets are having a big “moment” right now, and I am here for it.

A short set is also an excellent option for a getaway because you can create multiple looks by packing a couple of extra pieces.

I created three different outfits for you with this two-piece set. Easy to create, easy to pack, and perfect for the pool, lunch, shopping, and date night.

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

Style Amazon Short set Way #1

This two-piece Amazon short set was styled by just using the two pieces, A kimono, and shorts. This look is easily accomplished by adding A bodysuit or tank top, cute sandals (I am wearing Tory Burch Millers), a straw bag, and Fun tropical earrings.

Easy outfit look for vacation, site seeing, shopping, and even worn over a bathing suit to the pool.

Shop the Look below:

Style Amazon Short set Way#2

Outfit number two was created with the shorts from the two-piece set. Paired with a black blazer, the same Spanx bodysuit, and accessorized with Black open-toed Vince Camuto booties, a leather clutch, and finished off with gold jewelry.

The blazer gives the printed shorts a more polished look and takes this look to Summer chic versus summer vacation. Outfit number two is one of my favorite looks for summer.

Outfit number two is a look you could wear to work, wear on a date night or have cocktails with the girls.

Shop the post below:

Style Amazon Short set Way #3

Outfit number three was created with the Kimon from the set, paired with Spanx black shorts and the same Spanx bodysuit. It was created by accessorizing with Cognac Tory Burch Millers and a cognac vegan hobo bag by Social Thread. With jewelry to finish off the look.

This look could be perfect for brunch/ shopping with the girls, a coffee meeting, running errands, and casual dinner.

Shop the Photo below:

Taking Short sets on vacation

Packing short sets on vacation is a smart packing tip! It helps you to pack less, mix and match made easy, and it allows you to create a color pallet. Creating a color pallet for travel is a great tip to make packing easier. More packing tips on this blog post: Soma has all you need to pack for a Summer getaway.
