Lately on Instagram & My Top 3 Summer Trends

by Rachel McCarthy

Happy Wednesday, friends! Wednesday Wishes will be back next week, but today, I wanted to talk about three of my favorite trends for summer and a quick Instagram recap! When it comes to the trends, these are three things I have been wearing much of the spring and I suspect I will continue to all through summer!

1. Tassels, Tassels & More Tassels: I have been swooning over the tassel trend all spring and my obsession seems to only be getting greater as we head into summer. I think tassels are such a fun way to accessorize and change up an outfit. THESE earrings and THIS bag are two of my favorite tassel pieces of the moment. Although, I do have my eye on THIS LBD dress and THESE cute lace-up sandals, too 🙂

2. Fun Earrings: Recently, I have added a few fun, statement earrings to my collection and I can’t get enough of them! I love that just by adding a fun pair of earrings, you can instantly change your look. You obviously recognize my hot pink tassel earrings {see above} and the floral statement earrings from J.Crew {these are sold out, love THIS floral pair}, but I also recently purchased THESE and I cannot wait to wear them. Also on my wish list: THESE coral, gold and turquoise drop earrings and THESE bright green drop earrings — a great color for summer!

3. Monogram It!: Although monogramming isn’t a summer trend for me {it’s a year round trend 😉 } I have been seeing so many monogrammed pieces I love for summer, including THIS monogram sun hat {see the Instagram shot below} that I picked up before our trip and currently on my wish list, THIS monogrammed ring. Combine bright colors with a monogram and you have a fun summer piece!

Now, on to the Instagram recap. For those of you who follow along on Instagram {rach.mccarthy} these pictures are nothing new. We were in Palm Springs for our 5th anniversary two weeks ago, so most of these snaps are from our time there. Stay tuned next week for a full recap of the trip, but in the meantime, here are just a few snaps from the desert!
