2017 Must-Try Summer Trends

Summer is by far my favorite time of the year, and I am a huge fashion fanatic, so I have a lot of fashion inspiration during this time. There's an endless amount of different options and trends you can put together with Summer clothing that just wouldn't work or be appropriate in the Winter. While I don't have a label on my style, I do have a lot of trends that I seem to stick to, like bohemian. But Summer is the time to reach outside the box when it comes to fashion. Wear a styes of color that you usually wouldn't during another time of year, Here are a few of the Summer trends I'm so excited to wear out this season!

1. Stripes

One of my favorite clothing styles are stripes. I feel as if they are extremely flattering and just pleasing to the eye. If given the choice between a plain or striped tee, I always choose stripes. You could wear black and white stripes with another statement color, or colored stripes with black and white. The options are endless! People have also started to pair stripes on stripes, and if you can pull it off, I'm all here for it.

2. Gingham

One of my favorite patterns at the moment is gingham. I've had a few pieces of clothing in this style before, but recently I've seen it become a huge fashion trend. I'm not complaining though, because I think it is so incredibly cute and it's a perfect go-to Summer look! Gingham dresses are my current obsession and I've been on the hunt to find yellow shorts in the pattern. Fingers crossed!

3. Demin Jackets

Jackets may seem like a winter piece, but never forget that Summer nights tend to get a little chilly. A perfect solution to this is a denim jacket! I picked up my jean jacket that I am absolutely obsessed with at Marshall's early this year, and I throw it together with everything I wear. Mine has patches on it and I love that, but I'm also thinking about putting some cute pins on it. (A men's jean jacket also works because they'll have a loose fit which is trendy and comfortable!)

4. Pearl Necklaces

Everyone needs a little something to add to an outfit, and a trendy accessory is a simple pearl necklace. They can make any outfit look more feminine and classy! While I prefer the regular kind, many people have been wearing them as chokers which also looks adorable! They can really make an outfit look more put together.

6. Off The Shoulder Dresses

Lastly, I've seen a wave of popularity with off the shoulder dresses. Now in many colors and styles, they are extremely flattering and accentuate all the right places. My personal favorite way to wear these is maxi style because it makes the dress look classier and can be dressed up or down. This is a must have for the Summer!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
