Summer Stylist Series #3 || Cinne Worthington

Our third Summer Stylist Series with Cinne of Etsy shop by Cinne Worthington takes us to the beach!  If you missed Cinne's other 2 outfits, you don't want to miss out on her eclectic eye for style - press here to have a peek!  We went to Paris and then took a dive into the world of florals.  Today, Cinne is getting us ready to not only enjoy some summer sunshine, but do it in utter style!

Cinne has got the whole beach attire laid out for us and centers her selections on the adorable vintage style floral high waisted swimsuit bikini by Jayne of Etsy shop BOODWAH.  Don't be too bummed out when you press the link because Jayne is currently trying to hunt down some more fabric so she can make more of these super trendy bikinis!  Cinne has such an intuitive understanding of color and I love her ability to combine not only colors, but different patterns with such grace.  The emerald and gold tote  by Faima has a rich texture and bold patterning, but it totally works.  And check out the rich color of the handcrafted high heel shoes by Bali ELF in Indonesia - I don't even wear heals, but I just want to put those beauties on and never take them off!  Each item has been carefully considered and selected to create a walking work of art.  If you wore this whole ensemble at the beach, you would be sure to get some heads turning and lips whistling!

Spend some time out in the sun, but please - do it in STYLE!  All of the items are available through Etsy and all you have to do is follow the links below to get this look.  Thank you Cinne for another imaginative and inspiring outfit!

Color Focus || Summer White

Now that Summer is just around the corner it's time to freshen up your home and wardrobe.  There is no other color that feels more summery to me than white. I know that white can sound boring, but pair it up with anything and it looks fabulous. Don't forget that there are lots and lots of shades of white, just look at just the five that I picked out. How will you incorporate white into your Summer?

Summer Whites:
1. set of 3 white triangle shelves || Perrodin Supply Co.
2. simple tote bag in stone || Independent Reign
3. white footed bowl || L & M Studio
4. hand knit wrap in white || Elena Rosenberg
5. pendant light || Filigree Creations

For those of us here in the northern hemisphere, June 21st marks the summer solstice.  Yes, already!  Not only will it mark the longest day, but also the onset of summer.  Which means it's time to officially get those sandals, party dresses and voltives out for a garden party!  Okay - well, you don't have to celebrate the summer solstice with a party (although my ears perk up with any mention of the word 'party'!).  There are so many different ways to welcome in the energy of this season and we're here to help you do it Etsy style!

We work with a team of Etsy shop owners who get together once a month here on the blog to bring you Inside Etsy.  How?  Well, since we're on Etsy all the time, we know our way around quite well and we're in a great position to help you find some of the coolest items from our list of favorites!  We put together what we call "style guides" - which are essentially beautifully curated shopping guides with 16 items.  Each month we choose a theme and then we choose a winner at the end of the challenge!  This month, we'll be exploring the Summer Solstice in a variety of creative ways with Etsy shopping guides - so it's sure to be a lot of fun!

Come hang out with us from June 17-19th to find a whole bunch of new favorites on Etsy with our Elite16 Style Guides!  The entire list can be viewed right here!
