5 Seconds of Summer

I've know about this particular band for a while but didn't give them a listen until recently. After listening to the assortment of covers, original songs, and their EP, I am in love. The band ,which consists of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin, is one of my new favorites. Their sound is reminiscent of bands like All Time Low and, overall, is fantastic and original. Their song Try Hard has a permanent spot on my playlist. The EP along with their other songs earn a 5/5 in my book.

5sos is currently touring with One Direction so most write them off as a carbon copy of the popular boy band, but that is not the case. They have an interesting sound and great songs. I hope to be hearing more music from them soon.

1. Unpredictable 

2. Out of My Limit

3. Beside You

Seriously if you haven't already go check this band out, they are amazing. 

As always thanks for reading.

My Summer Essentials

Here are my summer essentials, i wear clothes like these everyday. They are simple, cute, comfy, and work for everyone.

First off you can't have summer without tank tops. Basic ones are, in my opinion, the best. They are typically thin and airy so you are always comfortable in them. They look plain on their own but you can add fun jewelry and wear lacy bandeaus underneath them if they're sheer. Next you need denim shorts. Denim is so comfy and it comes in a range of colors and patterns. My essential colors are khaki, acid wash, black, blue, and bleached. It also can't hurt to have a striped or floral pair either.

The next essential is cute sandals. Don't settle for boring flip flops. Go for cute strappy ones in fun colors or with studs. They can make any outfit look put together and are often very comfortable. My personal favorites this summer are the Harley sandals from Topshop. They are a metallic gold and have braided straps, you can seriously wear them with anything.

The next essential is sneakers. It's no secret that I LOVE sneakers. I practically live in them during the summer. Vans and Converse are my favorite. I still wear pairs from almost five years ago! These shoes will last you a life time and are good for walks, concerts, and generally looking cute. Sneakers are a must have for anyone.

My essential bag for the summer is a backpack. They literally hold everything, and i mean everything. They hold water, chapstick, hats, your wallet, a book, your phone, snacks, a camera, etc. They also come in so many varieties, sometimes i find it hard to choose. But I've always been a sucker for a good leather backpack. Denim ones are a close second. Backpacks are the ultimate hold-all and definitely perfect for summer adventures.

Sunglasses are a must for summer. You've got to protect your peepers! I'm really loving the round frames right now, they are a perfect edition to any outfit. You can never go wrong with a classic pair of sunnies, Ray-Ban Clubmasters are the pinnacle of perfect eye-wear. They flatter almost any face shape the only downside is their price. But they are well worth it!

The last essential is a swim suit of course! My idea of a perfect summer day always involves some sort of swimming. There are tons of cute swim suits out there this year, but i'm loving the ones from Victoria's Secret. They have tons of colors, patterns, and styles. It makes it almost impossible to not find something that works for you.

I hope you enjoyed my summer essentials. Thanks for reading!

Festival Outfit Ideas

Since Festival season is in full swing I decided to throw together a few things that would be perfect for a hot summer festival. 

Outfit #1:

Comfy and cool

This outfit has a super comfortable top paired with shorts that could be used as pajamas. To finish it off you can throw on some old cons and a hat. Leave the hat if it's really hot though. 

Outfit #2:

Monochrome

Taking a nod from one of summers hottest trends this outfit is complete monochrome. The flow shirt and shorts create an effortless put together look. Add some creepers and 70's glasses to add more style to the outfit. Last, but not least, the backpack. This is an absolute must for festivals, it's a great place to keep money, water, and anything else you need.

Outfit #3:

Flower Child 

This outfit is so cute. The bright colors and high waisted shorts really give it a 60's feel. The cropped tee paired with the high waisted acid washed shorts show off just the right amount of skin and the sandals give your feet freedom. The glasses and flower crown make the outfit even more fun and cute, perfect for a concert or festival.

Outfit #4:

Fashionable and Functional

This outfit is my personal favorite. The bandeau, loose tank, and bleached shorts look cool and effortless together. Again, i have the glasses. They are one of my latest obsessions. You can never go wrong with your old chucks, they're already worn in and never make your feet hurt. 

Hope this sparked any good outfit ideas!

My Favorite Summer Trend: Dungarees

I know i'm a bit late on this one, but anyways my favorite summer trend, by far, has to be dungarees. In particular the shorter ones, I think the longer ones are cute but they will be better for fall. The shorter ones are really easy to style and they are super comfortable.

They come in tons of patterns and washes. The light wash, floral, and striped are my favorite. I've seen countless style icons like Danielle Bernstein and Alexa Chung wear them and I absolutely love it. You can wear the printed ones for a more formal occasion and the denim ones for everyday. They make any outfit interesting. I love these overalls and I hope they are here to stay.

Thanks for reading.
