June 27th, 2017 by Jennifer Beile Ways to Wear Millennial Pink
Soft, warm pink is the color of the season. Nicknamed “millennial pink” because the millennial generation has made it the color of the moment, this blush-toned, mood-boosting color is actually quite versatile. And it’s popping up everywhere—on runways, street style stars, and your favorite fashion-obsessed celebs.
Millennial or not, you can pull off this shade of pink. For your inspiration, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ways to wear millennial pink this season.
Make it Sporty
To keep from looking too young and girly, find pink sporty pieces; think a cropped hoodie, a bomber jacket, or sneakers.
Mix & Match Fabrics and Textures
When wearing head-to-toe pink, mix and match fabrics and textures to break up the color.
Keep it Simple
When in doubt, keep it simple. Small, sophisticated details and embellishments help tone down this feminine color.
Suit Up
Add a playful twist to a classic; the next time you’re on the hunt for a suit set, look for one in a soft pink hue.
Pair With Contrasting Colors
Make a statement by pairing this soft shade with bold, saturated colors, like bright red or purple.

June 21st, 2017 by Melanie Sutrathada What to Wear for the 4th of July
The Fourth of July is always a great reason to spend time with your loved ones and celebrate your love for good ole ‘Merica. Whether you’re heading to a barbecue or beach bonfire or camping out for fireworks, there’s an outfit for every occasion on Independence Day. Up your July 4th style game with a few outfit ideas from your favorite fashion bloggers. With these six easy outfit ideas, you’ll be looking patriotic in no time:
Select a monochrome outfit (in red, white or blue, obviously) that’s perfect for rocking at a barbecue or picnic.
Here’s an outfit that will take a few more pieces to pull off. Style nautical stripes with white outerwear and blue and red accents.
There’s no better way to make a statement on the 4th of July than with a stars-and-stripes bodycon suit that does all the talking. This ensemble works great for celebrating at the beach, so don’t forget to layer on the sunblock!
If you want a similar casual look for the holiday, try starting with a classic patriotic graphic tee, a pair of jeans and white sneakers. It’s comfy and cute—perfect for a barbecue and fireworks.
Red and white stripes are always a go-to pick for celebrating the 4th of July. Steal a page from The Golden Diamonds’s style playbook and pair a crop top with a striped midi skirt. Finish off this look with a star-patterned bag.
Is this not the cutest striped jumpsuit for celebrating the holiday? The best part is that this outfit doesn’t have to be worn exclusively for the 4th of July.
