OFF-THE-SHOULDER DENIM DRESS

Last week I talked about my passion for the off shoulder everything this summer and today I am showing you one of those pieces and how I wear it. I bought this denim dress some weeks ago and I've been wearing it a lot of times since then. It's super hot and humid in Italy in these days so light short dresses are my go to pieces for everyday.

Another trend I love this summer is a lace-up, especially lace-up sandals. To finish this look, I added a colorful tassel bracelet I made (here is a tutorial) and a pastel mini bag. Hope you like it, let me know in your comments below! Have a nice week!

FASHION TREND: OFF THE SHOULDER

I've always loved bare shoulders for summer's heat - but this summer the off-the-shoulder style is an official top trend. It is the perfect balance of retro and modern and whether you wear a dress, a top or even a romper/jumpsuit, you’re going to be right on trend. Once you figure out how to rock it, it'll become your favorite go-to look this summer: super chic, incredibly comfortable and the perfect amount of sexy.

These pieces are great places to start

MY FAVORITE JUMPSUIT EVER!

I am so in love with this jumpsuit - the color and material, the shape and length, and how fresh it makes me feel in hot Italian summer days. Best buy in the last few months! I often find the jumpsuits to be too short for me but this one is just perfect.

In general, the jumpsuits make a statement like no other so it's really easy to style them. I always try to keep the rest of my outfit quite simple. In this case I added an orange mini bag to play with color blocking, comfy sandals, my favorite sunglasses. And I am ready to explore the city or to take a cocktail with some friends!

Do you wear jumpsuits or rompers? How do you style yours?

DIY: BRAIDED TASSEL NECKLACE

Tassels are a total must this summer. It's a creative and easy way to add a pop of color to your look. On shoes, bags, dresses, tops, belts, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.  Lately I've been seeing these bright accessories everywhere so I decided to put a summery twist and make one by myself.

You need:

• 2 x 30 cm fringe trim (you can also use 2 large tassels to make things even easier)
• Thread
• Glue

How to:

1. Make a simple braid. I used 12 x 115 cm thread pieces to get 80 cm length braid.

2. Start to glue your braided rope with a fringe trim.

3. Wrap around the braid and fix it.

4. Decorate it as you prefer. I wrapped a thread around the tassel's 'head' to cover it and added a few beads. And you are done!

If you are not into making it by yourself, I've selected some great alternatives:

SHOPPING: SUMMER HATS

Do you wear hats during the summer? I can't get enough of them. Last week I went to buy a new one with the intention to walk out of the store with a floppy beauty, but I ended up with a really great boater hat. How? I've just tried them all and the boater hat was the winner! Also because I already own a panama and floppy one but don't tell this to anyone :)

Anyway, if you're looking to protect your skin, to add a stylish finish to your jeans and tee combo or to look flirty in your summer dress, hats are a must-have accessory this summer that will keep you stunning in the shade all season long.
I'm in love with Free People hats, Urban Outfiters also has a lot of great choices.

I have selected a few different (and my favorite) styles that might just be perfect for you. So let's get started and let me know which is your favorite style of hats.
