Bathing suit season is full swing and bandeau bathing suits are my summer trend alert. This summer, bandeau bathing suit will definitely be a staple around the swimming pool and beach resorts. A strapless bandeau flatters smaller busted women. Beading, ruffles, a twist or tie in the middle, and fringes add depth to smaller breasts.
A chambray shirt worn like a jacket replaces a thicker jean jacket this summer. Throw the chambray shirt over a graphic print t-shirt or graphic tank top. You can find these graphic tanks and t-shirts in stores like Forever 21 or American Eagle where they have very inexpensive versions. Check out the ones that like below. The key is finding a thin one so that you stay cool in the heat this summer. Pair the thin graphic tank top and chambray shirt worn like a jacket with a pair of white skinny jean or jeggings and platform sandals.
I have not been to the beach in quite some time since we bought a house with a pool, but that does not mean I should stop looking beach chic this summer! Beach hair waves are so fabulous and I wish I had the energy to do it myself everyday! I have natural waves in my hair, but it’s just not the same as getting your hair done. I love the new era of hair salons where you can go into a salon and completely avoid the hair dye smell and just get a great look for a night out or photo shoot. My friend, Sahily of Pretty In Pigment hosted a blogger party at the local SoBlo Salon where they did everyone’s hair and makeup artists from Neiman Marcus YSL counter came to put the finishing touches on out summer looks!
This chambray weekend outfit is my fave weekend look right now! It is fun to layer denim on denim for a great weekend look. The key to looking great in denim on denim is selecting complimentary washes and mixing in colored denim. Chambray print button downs look great with white skinny jeans or white jeggings.
There are so many awesome beach cover ups to use as maternity tops out there. I wrote about wearing beach cover ups as maternity tops in the fall. I found another one from Victoria’s Secret. I bought the bathing suit to match, but I have to wait until I go down a bra size before I can fit in it. Bigger boobs…benefit or draw back of pregnancy?! If you’re small on top, then I say benefit. If you are starting at a D, then I say draw back. At this point, my boobs are the least of my problems!
Statement Necklaces are an easy way to spice up your wardrobe without spending a fortune. Bauble Bar has a ton statement necklaces that will not break the bank, but you will look like you did.

Bobbie borrowed my Chambray Anchor Print Top from Forever 21. Lately, I have be seeing anchors everywhere! Anchor jewelry is super hot right now. I wrote about the Summer Trend Alert: Anchor Jewelry last week. Shoe Dazzle also has a fabulous pair of anchor pumps that I dying to get on my tootsies.

I am loving my new Derek Cardigan Eyeglasses. I have been looking for a cool pair of clear glasses for a few years now. Since I have such horrible vision, it is very hard me to find prescription glasses that do not take over my face. I bought a pair of designer frameless glasses last year, but the thickness distorted the look I was going for. These new Designer Eyeglasses by Derek Cardigan are super thin and give me a modern Mad Men look that I have been dying to get.
As the host of my recent baby shower, my sister dressed up in this Tropical Neon Outfit. She styled her own outfit and I just approved it. Bobbie looks great in her ensemble!

Sheer floral tops go perfectly with khaki shorts for warm summer days. You could easily dress up this look with heeled sandals. Since I am pregnant, I try not to wear heels. I tried a few times and fell twice! I don’t want to risk the baby or myself for a little height. I suppose some women can do it, but I’m not one of them! I figured if anyone could, I would have been able to since I wear high heels on a daily basis normally and could probably run a marathon in them better than flats. I find that sometimes in flats I trip more. I found one pair of heels that I can wear! They are platforms with hardly any rise!

I have been loving Bauble Bar for quite some time and have been wearing tons of their bracelets with my everyday outfits. (30 Weeks Pregnant, It’s Still Hot Here: Ikat Shorts, Cut Off Shorts for Date Night, Fall Equestrian, and Relax with Nautical Stripes) I am trying to decide what my next purchase from Bauble Bar will be. I found a bunch of cute pieces that I am dying to buy. Let me know which Bauble Bar piece is your fave.
The Neon Alaqua Bib would look great with neutrals. Spice up a white t-shirt and jeans, an LBD, and a little white dress. I can even see it mixing well with beige and the military look.
I am partial to spring as April actually means spring and it is also the season of my birthday. Here are 30 Springs Trends that we here at April Golightly have featured this year. Check out the spring trend video featuring most of the 30 spring trends listed below. My favorite trends of the season are Eyelet, Monochromatic Outfits, Emerald Green, Flower Crowns, Neon, and Low Chunk Pumps.
It’s starting to get hot outside meaning it is time to talk about how to wear shorts this summer. Shorts are an easy way to keep cool as the temperatures rises this summer.
Watches were something that I used to be obsessed with. I would buy funky ones almost every time that I went shopping. I stopped buying them as they were always breaking and did not last as long as I wanted them to. After seeing the cute spring watches under $100 that Nordstrom has been showing, I am starting to rethink my watch buying hiatus. My hope is that these watches will last longer than the ones I previous bought at the $10 to $30 price point. I am really not that concerned even if they do not as I trust Nordstrom to stand behind the items they sell. If you haven’t noticed, Nordstrom has amazing customer service. I keep going back because I like the way they treat me there.
Sprout Anchor Watch will look great with summer red, white and blue outfits or even mixed with other colors. I really love this brand, Sprout. They have the most darling watches.
Yes, I STILL have a neon obsession! This Vince Camuto Mini Square Case Watch will go with everything like all of my other neon accessories.
The spring peplum outfit is perfect for a night out for dinner with friends and maybe even to go dancing. The mint trend is holding strong and I am really getting my money’s worth out of these mint skinny jeans. I dressed Andrea’s rectangle frame with this peplum top to accentuate her waist. The skinny jeans make her legs look amazingly long. Normally, I would put her in simple summer sandals, but I decided to try out the black pump trend.
Baz Lurzman told us to ‘Wear Sunscreen!’ I am adding to his commencement speech by telling new graduates to Wear Sunglasses! If you are so inclined, you should wear fashionable sunglasses! Actually, whether the sunglasses are fashionable or not is really irrelevant, it is fashionable to protect your eyes!

I saw this lamp at the doctors office and could not help taking a picture of it. The colors are so lovely and fun for spring.
