{ summer moodboard } moroccan bohème

whether packing for an exotic holiday, or looking to let some sun into my busy city life, i rely on a few faithful fashions to sizzle (but not swelter!) in the summertime:

• chunky, tribal jewelry dresses up city-slick looks and teeny bikinis alike (yes, i always accessorize my swimwear).

• drippy printed pants ~ the bigger and louder the better ~ pair well with a safari jacket for work, a sheer tunic for play. swingy silk is always cooler and comfier than rigid denim!

• khaki separates can calm any colorful look (in my book, the same goes for leopard print ~ i find it to be surprisingly neutral and therefore quite versatile).

stay chic despite the heat!
