Hi friends! How was your Memorial Day weekend? We had some beautiful weather in New York this weekend and it truly has me excited for these next few months.

Whenever I think of summer I think of easy living. I don’t like my summer wardrobe to be fussy – especially when it’s hot as hell in New York! I try to buy in layers – think jean jackets, breezy skirts, and easy rompers. One thing I hate about New York summers is how hot it can be outside then how cold buildings are inside! It does not make dressing easy, that’s for sure. That’s why layering summer pieces is so key for me.

Today I’ve rounded up a few best of summer pieces. I’m obsessed with this Lack of Color Hat that you can pair with a sun dress or a jean jacket/skirt combo. I love, love, love this striped Garnet Hill Swimsuit perfect for a weekend at the beach (P.s. Garnet Hill has so many great wardrobe staples for summer – take a peek at their entire swim section here and clothing section here!) And this Julie Vos Elephant necklace can pretty much go with any summer ensemble!  Have a lovely Tuesday! Xo. Lauren
