Summer is finally here and I’m back in New York City for the most epic summer of all time. Look, I love Miami Beach but there’s absolutely no place like New York City in the summer. I understood the assignment and packed up my best slinky slip dresses, unique denim shorts, ready to risk it all barely there tops, satin midi skirts and more to ring in the summer in the city. Here’s what I’ll be wearing all summer long. Make sure to save and share this post for summer outfit inspiration!

SLIP DRESSES
I always feel like Carrie Bradshaw running through the streets of New York in a slip dress and heels. Slip dresses look instantly chic and a little sexy too. This beauty is from Desigual and is already in heavy rotation. I wear it at least once a week.

70’S FASHION IS BACK
I’m in full 70s mode. I love a sky high super chunky platform heel or sandal and the widest pair of jeans I can find thats super fitted around the hips and waist. Oh and give me all the fringe and super big sunglasses too.

GIVE ME GUCCI
Gucci is one designer brand that will be taking all my money this summer. Being that I’m loving anything 70s, Gucci is giving me everything from oversized sunglasses to retro lunch box bags! I also love their scarfs for tying around my head for a beach day or to wear as a top.

LEOPARD PRINTS
Leopard print is probably my favorite animal print at the moment. It’s a little flashy, a little over the top and just all around fun. It’s also a neutral so it can basically be worn with any color. I’ll be having lots of fun with leopard prints this summer.
Apparis Top & Skirt Set | Bottega Veneta Mules | Burberry Sunglasses | Chanel Bag & Earrings
SCARF TOPS
I love a good scarf top in a satin or silk finish and this one from Apparis is a watercolor dream! I love that they made it in a set. You all know I’m all about taking scarfs and wearing them as tops this summer. I have a few designer scarfs from Chanel to Louis Vuitton to Gucci that I love wearing as tops for summer.
