[O]h summer – the summer months are literally so unpredictable that I constantly find myself checking the weather in the mornings before getting dressed for work. To make the process a little faster for the mornings I try to lay out some outfit options the night before (doesn’t always happen). As women we all know how often we change our minds about what we want to wear. Decisions, decisions. The constant hot temperatures make the decisions even harder. And I’m talking about 100 Fahrenheit, which is about 37 celsius. My go to pieces for work on SUPER hot summer days are definitely airy culottes with a blouse, or a nice work appropriate dress. Wearing light materials in this super hot weather is definitely key. And even though it’s really hot outside, don’t forget your cardigan, because we all know that most work places turn up the AC aalll the way 😀 On a side note, I also always make sure I pack a second pair of shoes, in case my feet get tired from wearing heels all day (I’m sure we’re all familiar with that problem).

Is there a specific piece that you cannot live without during summer? I always look forward to reading your comments 🙂 xo Joëlle

Happy first day of summer! Summer is officially here and that means your summer vacation is calling, or you’re planning to go to the beach and/or pool. When not hiding inside from the heat (YAY for air conditioning 😀 ), I like to enjoy a dip in the cold water to cool off, especially when it’s so hot! To celebrate that summer is finally here after a looooong winter (it snowed in April, come on now!), I created a Shopping Inspo guide for you guys and it’s all about Straw Bags. They are the perfect companion for the beach and pool, and you can’t go on a summer vacation without it! They are also a super cute companion for casual cocktail parties, BBQ’s, they just give you that vacationy feel. I personally love them and have actually a few in different styles and sizes 😀 I looked through so many websites to find the cutest and best deals for you guys. All these bags are under $130, and most of them are actually under $100. Most of these bags are actually on sale and half of. YAY! Happy Shopping 🙂 Bisous, Joëlle
