TEN TRENDS: FOURTH OF JULY INSPIRED - Elle Apparel

TEN TRENDS: FOURTH OF JULY INSPIRED:

1. RED EYELET DRESS  ||  2. RED SCOOP NECK TEE  ||  3. RED AND TORTOISE SUNGLASSES  ||  4. RUFFLE STRAP DENIM JUMPSUIT  ||  5. STRAWBERRY PRINT WHITE TIE SHIRT  ||  6. SILVER SANDALS  ||  7. WHITE MIDI DRESS  ||  8. BLUE TOTE BAG  ||  9. WHITE SUNGLASSES  ||  10. BLUE BANDANA

 

  • Whether you have a BBQ planned or you’re watching fireworks with the kids, you can’t go wrong with this red scoop neck tee and a pair of your favorite white or blue jeans.
  • Add a white tee under this ruffle strap denim jumpsuit and you’re sure to stand out this Fourth! So cute and trendy.
  • I love these red and tortoise shell sunglasses so much! They would work for the Fourth and all summer long.
  • These silver sandals come in the best colors! I also love the blue pair. They would be so cute with this white midi dress.
  • A red dress is a classic choice for the Fourth, but I love that this red eyelet dress is simple enough to wear anywhere!
  • A bandana is a summer accessory that is really versatile. Add this blue bandana to a straw bag, or wear it in your hair around your pony for something a little unexpected.
  • This blue tote bag is under $50, and it looks so chic! It would be fun to wear to a Fourth of July get together.
  • If your Fourth of July plans are a little more casual, I love this strawberry print white tie shirt with a pair of jeans or denim shorts.

1. DENIM JACKET  ||  2. GREEN RUFFLE MIDI DRESS  ||  3. GOLD STATEMENT NECKLACE  ||  4. FLORAL LACE PENCIL SKIRT  ||  5. TURQUOISE DROP EARRINGS  ||  6. EYESHADOW PALETTE  ||  7. NAVY RAFFIA SLIDE SANDALS  ||  8. BLEMISH AGE DEFENSE  ||  9. COCONUT LIP GLOSS  ||  10. STRIPED PAPER BAG PANTS

 

  • A denim jacket is a staple for me this time of year. Tie it around your waist or wear it over a dress for cooler days. So versatile!
  • I am so addicted to this lip gloss. I have one in by bathroom, one in my purse, and one in my car. Not sticky, lasts a long time on my lips, and smells like heaven!
  • I am a sucker for a good gold necklace, and this gold statement necklace is so pretty on! It’s a really pretty small chevron print that looks great on it’s own or layered with other necklaces.
  • This is a brand new eyeshadow palette and the colors are so good. I’ve been wearing just the daybreak color and it’s this pretty matte color with an orange hue (sounds weird…but it’s not) and it makes my blue eyes pop!
  • How cute are these navy raffia sandals? They would be cute with a denim skirt, jeans, or even a dress this summer!
  • I used this Blemish + Age Defense serum on my stories the other night and many of you were interested in it. It’s a serum that helps kick any breakouts I have FAST. I usually add my night cream over it once the serum has dried. I love that it fights acne and it’s made for adult skin. I’m almost out of this bottle, and I will definitely buy more once it’s gone.
  • I own this pair of turquoise drop earrings, and I love how bold they are. I wore them in this post, and they stood out so well with my white dress and blue chambray shirt.
  • This floral and lace pencil skirt was on my must-have skirt roundup for Spring. It has the prettiest colors, and it’s so detailed. You can shop all my other favorite skirts here.

TEN TRENDS

Ten Trends You Should Be Following
1. RUFFLE BLOUSE (on sale 40% off)  ||  2. PINK FLORAL PHONE CASE (on sale 33% off)  ||  3. PINK SLIDE SANDALS (on sale 40% off)  ||  4. GOLD CUFF BRACELET  ||  5. DRAPED COLLAR WRAP COAT (on sale 33% off)  ||  6. COCONUT CLEANSING OIL  ||  7. BLUE RUFFLE WRAP DRESS (on sale 40% off)  ||  8. NARS LIPSTICK IN ‘CLAUDIA’ (on sale 15% off)  ||  9. PINK MULES  ||  10. RAW HEM JEANS

  • You can never have too many slides for summer. These pink slide sandals are on sale for 40% off right now! Can you tell I’m obsessed with this color for spring??
  • This ruffle wrap dress is the prettiest blue. It’s on sale for 40% off right now, and it would be perfect to wear to a summer wedding.
  • I talked a little bit about this Kopari Coconut Cleansing Oil on my stories last week ( was testing it out for the first time). I’ve only used a different cleanser once since I got it, and this one is quickly moving up the rank in face cleansers I reach for. It’s oil based so it is super gentle. I feel like it does a great job at removing all my makeup (I always wash my face twice), but it doesn’t try out my skin! And it smells unbelievable. I highly recommend it!
  • These are the best raw hem jeans. I love the fit of them, and they are so versatile because there isn’t any distressing on the knees. I wore them almost every day last week! Great color and they hold their shape through numerous washings.
  • This is the prettiest floral spring phone case, and it’s on sale right now.
  • This is the time of year when I love to pull out a brighter pink lip color. How pretty is this pink lipstick? It’s called ‘Claudia’ and it’s on sale for 15% off right now. I wore it this weekend and had lots of questions on the name of the color! It’s highly pigmented and I’ve had it for a few years.
  • I love gold jewelry, and this gold cuff bracelet is perfect for dressing up any look. It’s simple and bold all at once.

 

Happy Friday everyone!! Its a NEW month, so that means a NEW MONTHLY DRESS is coming! One of my friends who stopped by while I was sewing the dress and my assistant Jill both said this dress is their favorite dress so far!! So I can’t wait to share it with you! The May Dress will be revealed WEDNESDAY the 9TH next week! Also all of the details of this dress and accessories and shoot are coming together and I’m dying to see how it all turns out. I’ve had the fabric for this dress picked out since November! I feel like if I keep typing I will reveal too much… so I’ll just leave it at that!

Modern Girls Guide To Sewing Sale!

Also, I wanted to share HUGE news that The Modern Girls Guide To Sewing is on SALE for 25% off with code SPRING today through Sunday, May 26th. I seriously cherish the ability to sew. Being able to make The Monthly Dress Series happen is so special to me. Bringing all these gowns to life is something that brings me so much joy and a feeling of satisfaction! My best friend Merrick and I created The Modern Girls Guide To Sewing as an online video course, where we take you through every single step of clothing construction. We teach everything from how to create your own pattern, to how to turn on and use your sewing machine. You’ll learn how to sew a pocket, sleeve, zipper, and so much more! We worked for an entire year on this course, and it is so thorough. There is a course for beginners and a course for intermediate sewers (if you already know the basics).

Head to moderngirlsewing.com to learn more about our courses and read through our course list that talks about what each of our 20 videos cover throughout the course. You can’t get this kind of class ANYWHERE without actually attending a university (trust us…we’ve looked). The best part is you have full access to the videos forever. So you can always go back and re-watch them anytime!

TEN TRENDS

1. BLUSH LACE RUFFLE WRAP DRESS  ||  2. WHITE RUFFLE TOP  ||  3. GREY HIGH-WAIST JEANS  ||  4. WOVEN SHOULDER BAG  ||  5. RED CREPE TROUSERS  ||  6. RED STRIPE TOP  ||  7. PINK WRAP MIDI DRESS  ||  8. PINK SUEDE PUMPS  ||  9. LONGLINE NAVY BLAZER  ||  10. BOW MULES

 

  • Rethink your blazers for spring, and try adding a longline double-breasted blazer into your wardrobe. It adds style and a light layer for cooler days.
  • Wrap dresses are perfect for spring to summer looks. For a monochromatic look, these pink suede pumps would look great with this pink wrap ruffle dress. I’m wearing it in this post here.
  • Woven bags are trending for spring, and I love the bright pop of color in this magenta shoulder bag.
  • Brighten up your look these red crepe trousers. They can be dressed up or worn casually with a graphic tee or white ruffle top and a pair of mules.
  • If you don’t own a pair of mules, spring is the perfect time to get a pair. These bow mules are neutral enough to work with lots of different looks.
