Summer Style Secrets: Hamptontoes

Yes, I know that Summer is over, at least technically, here in the Northern Hemisphere...

but I thought I would sneak in one more style secret post, before the leaves are all officially gone off the trees.  This last one is from Lisa of Hamptontoes...and as anyone who really knows the Hamptons can tell you, right now is the BEST time of year to experience the Hamptons.  I have had the pleasure of meeting Lisa, a beautiful and talented decorator, several times now...and I'm so happy to have her as one of my newest friends.

 The Zhush is one of my favorite blogs. Sue covers interior design, fashion, magazine articles, reality television, what's hot, what's not and what's timeless...The Zhush is a daily read for me! Also, having met "The Zhush",  I've met a super fabulous individual. Sue, thanks for asking me to be a part of your Summer Style series.
My secrets for summer aren't truly secrets, but rather tips. Summer equates to easy living for me and here are my tips for enjoying the summer months!

Hats:

Fancy or simple, hats allow for a wash and go attitude along with a chic look!

Nantucket Beach Buggy:

My weekends are spent on the beach with my two little kiddies. To eliminate the look of a camel trekking across the sand I use a beach buggy loaded with beach chairs, an umbrella, a ton of beach toys, a snack tote, a water jug, beach towels, etc....it's a must have if you spend time at the beach.

 Costume Jewelry Accessories:

Have a couple of go-to accessories on hand to enhance a simple look!

Maxi Dresses:

I find maxi dresses to be comfortable, and chic...perfect for al fresco dining.
Have one or two go-to dresses that make you feel good about you!

Outside In:

Whether you have a garden, a yard or even an apartment,
try to bring the outside inside.  Freshness from a garden
brings happiness inside the home!
Here you'll find not flowers, but ornamental grasses
from my garden.
As you can tell,  my style is about using
what you have and keeping on hand
key pieces that make you happy!
Enjoy!

Thanks so much Lisa...
you are as sweet as you are stylish!
