Summer Trend Alert: Slide Sandals

I love summer. I'm definitely a warm weather person. I love being able to leave the house without a heavy jacket or boots. I love having shoes I can slip on and off easily as I don't wear shoes in my house. As a result, this season's hot shoes trend is perfect for me. It's easy, comfortable, stylish and versatile!

The slide sandal has been increasing in popularity over the last few summers. This season it's adding a bow. And that bow seems to be quite a hit. I've been seeing these slide sandals everywhere this season. From weekend errands to the office, these sandals might be one of the more versatile styles in your closet this season. 

While the style is fairly standard, you can find these shoes in just about any color or print you desire. These shoes are available in a multitude of retail shops and online. You won't have any trouble finding them. A stylish comfortable sandal for just about any occasion makes for the perfect summer trend. 

If you're looking for a new summer flat, this style could be a great option for you. Below are a few styles I've picked out from Nordstrom. Be on the lookout now... I promise you'll be seeing these everywhere!

Trend Alert... Bell Sleeves

This fall we are seeing bell sleeves everywhere! This trend can be fun and flattering when done right. Whether it's on a sweater, a dress or a blouse, bell sleeves are available in a variety of styles. One tip is to make sure that the sleeves are the right length for you. Bell sleeves that are too long will only serve to get in your way and become more of a hindrance than anything else. Keep your sleeves at wrist length or shorter. Check out a few of the different styles available below!

Spring Style Crush: Off The Shoulder Tops

Hi everyone! My name is Kellie & I’ll be a guest contributor here on Beacon Style! I’ll be sharing with you my latest style and trend obsessions along with tips and tricks of building a dream wardrobe on a budget.

Although the weather in Boston has been unpredictable, I’m in full-blown spring mode. I’ve even worn my white denim (and broke the no white before Memorial Day rule) already! One trend that I’m seeing everywhere and cannot wait to embrace is the off the shoulder top. It seems like every boutique and department store that I walk in to have at least one or two styles. Personally, I find the feminine silhouette of an off the shoulder top incredibly hard to ignore (ask my online shopping cart…)

The best thing about this trend is that there truly is something for every style. I’ve seen anything from boho prints to preppy stripes & romantic crochet. Pair your off the shoulder top perfectly with distressed denim and espadrille wedges for a casual night out or with shorts and cute sandals for the day. I’ve already scooped up this one and am counting down the minutes to an upcoming beach vacation so I can finally wear it! I’ve also been eyeing this blush beauty and this chambray dress. I fully plan on embracing all versions of this trend through spring and summer.
