LSPR Staff Style Tips: July

While pre-fall collections are hitting the shelves at our favorite stores, the dog days of summer are still upon us.  Following are a few of our favorite trends to keep you looking stylish, yet comfortable in summer’s scorching heat. 


Midnight midnights – Katie Holmes in Contrarian
Once reserved for boardroom basics and preppy classics, navy is my new favorite color for eveningwear.  I love the way Katie Holmes worked this Contrarian dress at a recent premiere – the sexy plunging v and backless cut of the dress is balanced with the traditional navy color.  Pure red carpet perfection!

Rock a pair of denim overalls – Alexa Chung in Madewell
Alexa Chung is one of my favorite style icons. Her laid back and quirky style with a feminine edge is the perfect inspiration when getting dressed in the morning. Chung tends to pair menswear pieces such as a button ups and blazers with printed blouses and girly accessories such as jewelry and handbags. This summer Alexa has been implementing denim overalls as a staple into her wardrobe. She wore a light washed pair to the airport with a black floppy hat, a nautical striped tshirt, black cutout boots, and a lesportsac bag. For the Wireless Festival Chung she paired a blouse and overalls from her own first Madewell collection with a black leather jacket, Illesteva sunglasses, a Louis Vuitton bag, and wedged sandals. Take a cue from Alexa this summer by wearing overalls with your own touch. If you like more preppy laid back style you can try a lighter wash with simple printed blouses in summer colors or if your style has more of an edge try a dark gray, black, or acid wash with leather pieces and neon accessories. Denim is a year around staple, but mix it up this summer by implementing different shades and styles of denim overalls into your summer wardrobe.

Add a Gold Watch – Jennifer Aniston with a Rolex
Jennifer Aniston can keep anything classy. The most recent trend I have seen on her, as well as many other celebrities, is a gold watch. Who needs many bracelets or rings to accessorize an ensemble? Jen does it simple and sophisticated in a perfect rose gold watch. This seems more than just a phase. I’m rummaging through my grandma’s jewelry box tonight to find a vintage gold watch that will match all of my outfits for the coming seasons!

Say Yes to Yellow - -Emma Watson in Marchesa
From the cover of Vogue to the MTV Movie Awards to numerous press events for the final Harry Potter movie, it seems like it girl Emma Watson is everywhere! To be perfectly honest, that is fine by me because I can’t stop admiring and obsessing over her fabulous fashion choices. At an after party for the MTV Movie Awards, Watson was spotted wearing a stunning yellow Marchesa dress. Many ladies avoid wearing yellow because of its tendency to wash them out, however; Emma’s decision to go bold and wear a risky color proves that if you find a dress that fits well and complements your skin tone that everyone can and should say yes to yellow.  LSPR client Gomez-Gracia has also embraced the yellow trend with this gorgeous belted tunic dress.
