Summer is a time to have fun — and that includes playing with your style. So go ahead and ring in the sunny season by experimenting with these trends that give your look new life.
Graphic tees are nothing new, but the 2017 way to do them is all about making a bold statement. Throw on this Prabal Gurung You Can't Stop Me Tee ($195) and everyone will hear you roar.
Switch out your classic nautical lines for a super bright, graphic option. This Loft Cabana Pleated Maxi Skirt ($80) is an instant outfit maker.
It’s not always the easiest trend to try, but the see-through thing is definitely doable. Over a tonal tank and jeans, this H&M Mesh Top ($15) goes from wacky to wearable.
Get a little height without the pain of spindly heels. These Zara Tied Floral Raffia Wedges ($60) will give you that vacay vibe all summer long.
With '90s nostalgia hitting its peak, the '80s are next in the retro lineup. A bold mash-up like this ASOS Tall T-Shirt Dress With Lace Inserts In Leopard Print ($48) gives early Madonna vibes.
Go big or go home this summer. Bonus points if you rock on-trend tassels, a la these Kate Spade New York Pretty Poms Tassel Statement Earrings ($98).
Bare shoulders are here for the duration of this season, and an asymmetric option keeps the trend fresh. Exhibit A: this Buffalo David Bitton Embroidered One-Shoulder Top ($69).
Yes, they are back, and yes you should have one — or several. Start out with this Chan Luu Coin Charm Anklet ($85), then stack as you see fit.
Back in January, we introduced you to a feel-good cause to inspire your New Year's resolution: a walking challenge to help raise funds for the amazing cancer fighters at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I took part in the challenge with the Brit + Co team and ended up walking 105+ miles in January — it was awesome.
This spring, there's a new challenge on the horizon, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Big Climb. The ask: On May 15, 2021, you can step up to take cancer down by committing to climb 1,311 steps, walking 3.2 miles, or doing 440 chair step-ups at home as part of the Big Climb. If you need some motivation to bring movement back into your daily routine — look no further!
As always, it's free to sign up, but climbers are encouraged to set a fundraising goal to help beat cancer. We'll be organizing another Brit + Co team to step up, and I hope you'll join us too! Keep scrolling for a peek at where I'll be completing the challenge in my Los Angeles neighborhood around the hidden Silver Lake Stairs. Happy climbing!
Never underestimate the power of an accountability buddy! I asked my in-laws, my partner, and a few friends to join me so we can keep each other motivated and accountable in completing the challenge — virtual high-fives all around! Also, my dog Fox is a great climber, too.
An aesthetically pleasing backdrop is a huge motivator for me! I'm fortunate to have all sorts of painted steps around my neighborhood to keep the challenge interesting, but you can also keep cool inside with at-home chair step-ups.
Don't forget to share your progress on social — #BigClimb!
Feel free to break the challenge up if you need to by tackling half the distance in the AM and half at sunset. Here's me 1,311 steps later and ready for a break — but, think I earned this one!
