Hey! It's been a long time but I'm back with a new article from the Fashion Series: Lookbooks and this time I decided to include the 2019 summer trends!
I would only like to say that you don't need to have the latest and trendy clothes to feel accepted by the fashion world. If you feel like you are the most powerful, beautiful, important and cutest girl in the world...then that's the only thing that matters. 🖤
By writing this article, my goal is to give everyone a few summer outfit inspo (at least I hope it does)! So, without further ado...let's get into it!
*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*
First of all, there's a few overall summer trends that can be applied to any piece of clothing. And those trends are based on the colours, patterns and fabrics.
» C o l o u r s:
From what I've been noticing, the bright and solid colours are back and you can expect some bomb and vibrant outfits. The colours that are in are green mint, lilac, pink and yellow.
» P a t t e r n s:
Although this is the year of solid and bright colours, there's still some patterns that you can find in clothing. And those are floral and plaid! I usually find these patterns more in dresses and I'm here for it!
» F a b r i c s:
This year you'll also be able to find two predominant fabrics in clothing: linen and silk. And they are just what you need for your summer looks - light-weight, easy breezy, casual and also perfect for any occasion, whether by day or night!

Since I've already talked about the overall trends, let's move on to the actual summer lookbook + 2019 trends:
°• SHOES:
Be on the lookout for sandals and strappy heels with toe separation (like the black sandal below)! They are the perfect addiction to a basic casual outfit to spice it up. Or you can also pair them with a flowy dress and you'll have the perfect girly look!
°• SOCKS:
If you're more of a sneaker kinda girl, then you can add a cute little touch to your summer outfits by using cute,fun and unique socks.

°• DRESSES:
This year there is no way you can go wrong with dresses! You have suitable dresses for every and each style: Maxi and midi dresses; vintage and floral dresses; linen and silk dresses. Regardless of which dress you choose, you will always be perfect and look super cute and girly. 🖤
- Maxi and Midi:
- Vintage and Floral:
- Linen and Silk:
- Other styles:

°• SKIRTS:
If this is the year of flowy and long dresses, then it is also the year to get confortable and cute with some beautiful skirts. Instead of skin tight short denim skirts, you should wear long/midi flowy skirts since this summer is all about that! But, that doesn't mean you can't wear a shorter skirt from time to time and if that's more your style...then go for it. Also, skorts are back and stronger than ever!! Wow, I was so happy to see that one of my favorite clothing pieces from my childhood was back in trend!

- Mini:
- Plaid:
- Skorts:

°• PANTS:
Yes, I know that in summer we're supposed to wear cooler clothes because of the heat, but even in summer we can have chilly days and cold nights. And to save us from this situation, we have my favorite style of pants: Palazzo pants. It's the best if you still wanna look cute, even in the cold summer nights.
*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`
°• SHORTS:
If you feel more comfortable wearing shorts and still want to look chic and cute, then the best option for you is the tailored shorts. They are effortlessly polished and super useful during summer's hottest months. You can wear them teamed with a matching blazer or try them with a blouse tucked in - either way, you'll look great!
*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`
°• TOP:
It's no joke when I say that there is so many options for this summer matching every person style! Croptops are still a thing and you'll probably going to see them for a looong time; silky blouses and tops - I swear, silk is the best fabric when it comes to staying fresh, cute and polished all at the same; puff shoulders, yes pleaseee; and last but not least, the cutest detail you could have in your crops or/and sleeves is frills!

- Silk:
- Puff Shoulders:
- Frills:

°• JUMPSUITS:
Jumpsuits are also hitting the streets in 2019. They are a great piece to try to find in your favorite vintage or resale shops and you can find so many cool options. Style your jumpsuits the same way you would style your jeans: dress them up and down with everything from sneakers and combat boots to heels. And don’t forget to accessorize with your favorite accessories.
*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`✧´*`
°• BAGS:
Shoulder bags, mini bags, pearl bags, straw bags and eco/tote bags are here for summer 2019 and I'm LOVING IT! All these are super in trend and you can style them in so many ways. Personally I'm a ultimate fan of tote bags because they are so cute and you can find so many designs, shapes and sizes!
- Eco/Tote Bags:

°• JEWELRY:
If we're going to talk about jewelry in 2019, the code words are: gold, pearls, coins and shells. From necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings to hair clips, you can see in every each one of them gold, pearls, coins and shells (or anything ocean themed)! This year, the jewelry trends are on fire and I'm loving it (but I love everything)!!
