what we've all been waiting for is finally here -- summer. a lot of us wait and wait for it to come, and dream up what it will be, or maybe what we'll look like, and most importantly - what we're going to wear. (if you're anything like me, anyway).

sometimes i feel like summer fashion isn't all that fun to style because you're sort of wearing minimal clothes since it's so hot out. that's where fun accessories come in (not just saying that because this is literally a hair accessory blog, i'm serious).

okay - nail art has been a thing for a while now, and it is HERE TO STAY. especially for summer, and especially with allllllll the colors. whether your nails are long or short, it's going to look amazing either way. pinterest is your best friend if you're looking for nail inspo, i can never decide what i want next because there are just way too many cool options, so run don't walk to get your nails done, or attempt to do them yourself because it's pretty important.

i feel like people have mixed feelings on these kinds of tops, but i myself think they're super cool. i'd probably be too scared to actually wear one, but if i saw someone on the street wearing one of these i would automatically think they were super cool and wish i was them, and that's the ultimate test. whether it's an actual bandana, or a real shirt; you can't go wrong.

this is one i can ABSOLUTELY get behind. i don't know who ever thought that tiny shorts were the most flattering, or honestly even the cutest, because these are where it's AT. catch me in some of these every day this summer, and being comfortable af at the same time as trendy. the best of both worlds, amirite? basically all of the stores have these right now, in all kinds of washes, and anywhere from mid thigh all the way to the knee and honestly they're all great. i'm in love.

luckily, claw clips aren't going ANYWHERE. (and we have allllll the claw clip hookups too). these are perfect for every season obviously, but soooooo good for the summer heat. it's so quick and easy to throw your hair up in one of these bad boys and look amazing at the same time.

i'm a huge fan of mini skirts, i feel like they are a lot more versatile than you might think. they're cute with honestly anything, and make it look like you tried really hard on your outfit even though you didn't; which is always ideal. they look great with a little shirt or tank top, or an oversized tee -- you really can't go wrong!!

silk/satin dresses have been in for a while now, and they're especially cute for summer. so easy and breezy, while also making you as darling as can be. i'm obsessed with this trend and will be participating.

if you love sweatpants, you'll obviously love sweatshorts. it's the only way to bring your love of sweatpants into the summer heat, and for that i'm grateful. everyone got into sweat sets during quarantine, and now you can still wear them in the summertime!!

not only are matching sets so cute as is, they make getting dressed soooo easy. you don't have to style anything together because it's all done for you! i always feel so put together when i'm wearing a set, and they're basically what i live in all summer long.

anyway, i hope you feel ready to conquer summer now with all your new knowledge i've provided you. whether or not you take any of this into account, we'll all be having a hot girl summer no matter what - sorry, i don't make the rules!! will you be rocking any of these trends this summer????
