Summer Style

Jack Rogers Lobster Embroidered Sandals

One of the many things I love about Florida is wearing summer clothes 365 days a year. But whether you are in a tropical climate, headed to a beach vacation, or looking forward to more summer weather, I have found some great options.

I love Jack Rogers sandals so much - worn by Jackie Kennedy and Palm Beachers for decades and the essence of Florida and summer style. These are made exclusively for Talbots.

Statement Necklaces for a Steal

Frances Valentine

Statement necklaces are a great way to instantly jazz up any outfit. I throw on a dress, a pair of sunglasses, and a dramatic necklace, and I am dressed for anywhere. I have found some great necklaces in loads of colors and they are all under $10! These are wooden, lightweight, come in different styles and colors, and are very chic. Perfect for spring and summer and for vacation.

This to me is the essence of summer - blue and white, stripes, wicker, greenery, an elephant, and blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Warm Weather & Chinoiserie

One Kings Lane

Eighty degrees in DC yesterday. Here is a lovely room that brings the outdoors in with Chinese Chippendale chairs, a blue and white Chinese lamp, a palm, and a lovely color palette of white, blue, and green.

Coastal Chinoiserie

Some of us are likely off to the beach these last two weeks of August. DC is a veritable ghost town this time of year. This vignette is a lovely example of what I call Coastal Chinoiserie. The addition of Chinoiserie to a summer home for me adds such elegance and exoticism. For more inspiration, check out my Pinterest board on Coastal Chinoiserie here.
