When it comes to types of weddings, a romantic destination wedding is quickly gaining popularity for a couple of different reasons. There’s the obvious appeal of a more intimate ceremony with a small gathering of your closest family and friends—perhaps even just the two of you!

A small destination wedding can also be a more budget-friendly option since there’s less guests involved. You could even take the opportunity to combine your out-of-town nuptials with a family vacation or better yet, the honeymoon!

In keeping with the more relaxed vibe of a destination wedding, check out a few of our picks below for the destination bride! Simple, unfussy looks are best--particularly for a tropical/beach setting.

If a sunny getaway is in your agenda this summer, this week’s trends are right up your alley! We’ve put together some breezy cruise ensembles (although they work for any summer vacation locale) and our favorite floral pieces for every style.

If you’re going on board a cruise this summer, we suggest packing according to the different activities you’ll be partaking in: outfits for lounging on the lido deck, dinner & dancing, swimming, and excursions.

It’s no secret that florals are a year-round favorite in the world of prints. This summer, incorporate this girly print in fun, new ways. Do a subtle touch of floral with accessories or, if you’re feeling bold, try mixing floral prints like the outfit featured above.

One of our favorite summer trends has to be white denim. There’s something so utterly clean and fresh about a pair of white jeans or shorts on a guy. This trend may look intimidating, but it’s actually quite easy and versatile!

A pair of slim white jeans (like the Buffalo David Bitton Kemitch Slim Straight) can be dressed up with a nice button up or polo and a pair of oxfords, or dressed down with sneakers and a cool tee.

Brighten up your weekend casuals with a pair of white shorts (like the Jet Lag Take Off 3 Short), sneakers and short-sleeve button down shirt.

No matter how you opt to wear this season’s white denim, you’ll definitely be looking cool despite the summer heat.

With July 4^th coming up and summer in full swing, you can’t blame us for being in the mood for a little red, white and blue! Our trend highlights for this week are all about capturing the casual, laid back vibe of summer.

For the 4th of July, stick to comfy pieces like shorts, tank tops and tees. Since you’ll probably be busy celebrating the day’s festivities, a pair of comfy shoes or sandals is a good idea. And of course, red, white and blue adds that patriotic touch!

This summer, we’re also going back to one of our favorite go-to trends: nautical. It’s just one of those quintessential summer trends that’s super easy to wear. Grab a pair of boat shoes or espadrille sandals, a striped tee or dress, and you’re ready for the sunny days ahead!

This Memorial Day weekend, chill out at a backyard BBQ or go on a quick getaway with a few style essentials at hand: shorts, summer dresses, tank tops and lightweight shirts are all perfect for a relaxing weekend of effortless style.

One of the most luxurious trends for summer is the return of metallics. We love a good metallic accessory to add a dose of shine to a daytime look. Try a nice metallic tote (like the one pictured above) or a pair of metallic sandals for just a touch of warm-weather elegance.

This week, we’re focusing on the bottom half of our ensembles. If you’re looking to freshen up your wardrobe, a pair of fresh printed denim or, for the guys, a colorful pair of pants or shorts, are easy options.

Printed denim is popping up all over the place, particularly this season. There are so many options to choose from. When you opt for a bolder print, stick more subdued, basic tops. If you choose a more subtle print, try mixing it with a complementary printed top to add interest and dimension to your look.

For the guys, colored bottoms are an easy way to infuse some color into even the most casual ensembles. Try a pair of brightly-colored shorts with boat shoes for effortlessly cool summer style.

As we slowly ease into summertime, our minds naturally go to sunny beach vacations and baseball games--two things we love about the season. That's why this week’s trend spotlights are on tropical floral prints and outfits to wear at the ballgame. 

Tropical-floral prints are like the summer vacation of prints—they just evoke such a laid-back feel. Think palm fronds, exotic flowers, and bold colors. Whether it’s on a lovely summer dress or a cool Hawaiian shirt, this fabulous print is a must for warm summer days and nights.

Baseball games call for comfortable outfits that show some team spirit. Break out of wearing just any old team shirt by rocking your team’s colors in casual pieces. Throw on your baseball cap and you’re ready to root, root, root for the home team in style!

There’s no doubt that spring is the best time to rock color. With so many colored denim options out there, you can infuse pops of color to your outfits no matter what your personal style happens to be.

And fellas, don’t think that ladies get to have all the fun! We’re seeing bright and bold colors in men’s fashion as well. There’s the colored jeans option, but you can also do something more subtle like a pop color shoe, top or accessory.
