Zara Fabric Blazer. Red Striped Crop-Top, Free People, Sunnies- Ray Ban club master in black.

Welcome back! With Labor Day being just a few weeks away (summer it's always sad to see you go), I've dedicated this post to one of my favorite color combos- Red, White, and Blue (obviously). Looking for a little style inspo for a long weekend full of barbeques, wine, and maybe even some boating? Look no further. Here are a couple of looks to take you from the beach to a back yard party in no time. With both looks I am wearing flats but to go from casual day-party to night-party just add some booties or a chic wedge sandal! The blazer and/or sweater is also great to keep you warm when the sun sets and it gets a little chilly.

These skinny crops I have been living in-literally. I've had to make a conscious effort to not wear them everyday as they are so comfortable but cute! They are the perfect option to wear with a look like this or they can be dressed up with a heel or booties. 

Sweater, Maison Scotch  Navy sequin skirt, Haute Hippie. Unavailable. Blue crossbody bag, Michael Kors. 

These heart shaped sunglasses I simply purchased right off the boardwalk for $10 dollars.

On a final and more serious note, the world lost a great artist and creative genius yesterday. As a fellow native Northern Californian who grew up watching his films I was deeply saddened to hear of this news yesterday. Whether it's fashion or film, all arts are intrinsically linked and the artistic community is at a deep loss without him. With that I leave you with this photo of Robin Williams, rest in peace my friend.
