5 Ways to Wear Lime Green This Summer, 2022. Plus—Colors that Go With Lime Green 💚
Your guide on how to wear lime green this Summer 2022. Plus current fashion trend pieces (Summer 2022) in shades of lime green for you to shop.
Adding the colour lime green to your wardrobe is easier than you think. Lime green is surprisingly versatile and adds an unexpected freshness to your Spring and Summer wardrobe. Think of lime green as the versatile black, but for Summer 2022. What colours go with lime green clothes?
First, let’s explore the differences between shades of green: lime green, neon green, and forest green.
Lime green: Bright, light green. High energy. Liveliness. Creativity. Freshness.
“Sitting right in between yellow green and yellow in the color wheel, lime green is a mixture of the two hues, making it a distinctly yellow-toned green. It works quite well with both warm and cool tones, such as yellows and blues, making it a great addition to many palettes.” www.canva.com
Neon green: even brighter than lime green. Bordering on bright yellow with a hint of lime green. Neon green can be so bright that using it as an accent piece is best—with the intent to throw in a splash of excitement.
Neon green is an extremely bright green hue that takes after its close color wheel neighbor, lime green. Lime green contains far more red pigment than neon green, while neon green brings just a touch of blue pigment for balance. www.canva.com
Forest green: a deep green. Reminds you of Christmas trees and the deep greens naturally found in nature. Deep forest green is a great colour for Fall and Winter.
“Merely reading its name, forest green will likely evoke visions of thick bushes and tall trees. Named for that exact type of scenery, forest green is a dark green hue commonly found in nature.” www.canva.com
5 cool ways to wear lime green: summer 2022.

1) Mix lime green with shades of green.
Yes, you can mix lime green with different shades of green—including standard green and forest green. Combining shades of green with lime green adds an unexpected twist to your look. In this case, I added lime green heels to a forest green sparkly dress. When you add lime green to darker shades of green you make a fun contrast. This is also one way in which you can make forest green “work” for Summer—by adding a summery pop of lime green to it.
2) Mix lime green with bright colors. color blocking.
Color blocking: when you mix 2 to 3 bold and contradictory colors together in one look. Mix lime green with other bright colors such as bright pink, blue or orange for an even stronger Summer feel. Make sure that the colors are sans print since you are already making a statement with 2-3 bold colors.
3) Mix lime green with pastel colors.
Mix a splash of the creative and fun lime green with romantic and feminine pastel colors. You can add lime green heels to a light blue dress, or a light purple dress. Or a lime green purse to a light pink dress. It’s an unusual but fashion-forward combination.
4) Mix lime green with classic white or black.
Make this a dressy and more elegant look by pairing a white silk mini dress with neon heels, or a long black dress with a neon purse accessory.
5) Mix lime green with shades of copper.
Mix lime green with copper tones! Make sure the fabric of the copper tone is a light Spring or Summer fabric such as satin, silk or cotton, rather than a Winter fabric such as wool or leather. This will make sure that your look looks and feels like a Spring and Summer look rather than mixing Spring and Summer (lime green) with Winter (wool or leather).

Malibu Beach Day Outfit Essentials for Your Summer 2022 Wardrobe!
It was a beautiful day in Malibu in summer outfit essentials for Summer 2022. Grab some cute beach outfit inspiration to add to your Summer wardrobe.
LOCATION: EL MATADOR, MALIBU 🌴
PHOTOGRAPHY: BRIAN BLOSS, bbloss.com/photo
It was a beautiful day at El Matador Beach, Malibu. I love the feeling of the beginning of Summer when the sun starts to get a little bit warmer and stays out a little bit longer. I love the feeling of fresh ocean air and natural ocean hair.
Summer clothing is my favorite type of clothing, just because it feels so carefree and truly reflects the southern California aesthetic. Your summer beach outfit can feel like resort wear with a few simple tweaks.
Paradise Cove Large Floppy. Shop it here.
I love large brim hats for long days spent at the beach. Large brim hats are perfect to pair with your favorite sunglasses and make you feel like Brigette Bardot. They are the ultimate sun protection since no umbrella is needed (literally). You can simply hide under the hat and fall asleep, listening to the ocean waves. Or let it fold naturally in half in the front while you’re walking for a relaxed look, or for when you need to drink a martini.
A medium sized straw hat is also perfect for a Malibu beach day outfit. A medium sized hat is like your everyday floppy hat and is still perfect to get some shade from the sun.
Coral Beach Straw Hat. Shop it here.
Shop the hats featured in this post:
I love hand woven bags for the beach. Hand woven bags are something special, because they usually only come out during vacation or summer time. My favorites are made of real straw and are hand woven in secluded beachy places such as Colombia or the little towns in Mexico. When you wear a hand woven beach bag it reminds you of the first breath of fresh air when you land at your destination.
Shop woven beach bags for Summer 2022:
Sarongs are another key item to add to your summer wardrobe. They come in so many colors and are so easy to wrap around your waist. They are classy, yet relaxed. Pair it with your favorite sandals for a beach day and switch it out with heels for a sunset dinner close by.
Shop summer sarongs for 2022:
Coral Beach Straw Hat. Shop it here.
You can’t forget a vibrant bikini. I love how many styles and cuts of bikinis are now available. Gone are the days of the usual triangle top and tie bottoms—although those are all still cute. There are so many unique ways you can wrap bikini tops and wear one piece bikinis in bandage and unique cuts.
Shop trending bikinis of Summer 2022:
Paradise Cove Large Floppy. Shop it here.
More key items for your summer 2022 beach wardrobe:
Eventually the sun sets and the tide roles up, but there is always time to enjoy the beach again tomorrow. With so many beach essentials now in your wardrobe, you’ll be ready for a long day to spend in Malibu.

The spring/summer clothing pieces
BLOG LOCATION: Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills and Beverly Hills Gardens.
The new Gucci Rubber Slide sandals in Wild Rose are definitely one of my favorites. I love how easy they are to wear, and how they can be paired with so many outfits—Spring or Summer!
The Emilee Angelic Skort is a versatile skirt, it can be worn with sandals, over the knee boots or heels.
The white crop is by Zara if you want to shopt it here: https://www.zara.com/us/en/seamless-crop-top-p01014323.html?v1=93611630
The Simple Spring Makeup Look
The Cle de Peau powder blush in 102 is so pretty, the pigment has a great payoff and does not have a sheen or sparkle. This makes the pigment a great everyday addition.
The Creamy, sheer lip + cheek color in Berry by Milk Makeup is another one of my go-to lip colors. It appears that the color is purple, but the way that the lip color wears, it is like a deep berry. Since the formula of this multiple stick is creamy and sheer and hydrating, the color is perfect for day (and even night). I love the hydrating ingredients in this tint: mango butter, peach nectar and avocado oil.
The Satin Matte Foundation by Alima Pure Cosmetics is my favorite mineral makeup foundation year round. You are guarenteed a perfect shade match since you can order multiple mini samples on their website for about $1.50 each.
I also tried the new Lash it out Loud mascara by Elf Cosmetics. I like how this formula isn’t too heavy and simply enhances your lashes.
The Nars bronzer in Laguna is my go-to bronzer for years. I love how this pigment is “flat” (no sparkle or sheen), so it’s perfect for everyday looks.
This white top that I’m wearing by BCBG is from a few years ago (3 years) so I could not link the exact white crop by BCBG. However another white crop by BCBG with the same material makeup (86% rayon, 13% nylon, and 1% spandex) is linked below. I love this material since it has held up for a few years and still looks like new. I also like the way it fits, a tiny form fitting, but casual for day. Also…you could wear this at night. :)
I hope you had fun with this Spring 2021 blog post and picked up a few Spring pieces and ideas along the way!

Brad Goreski & Indagare Reveal Style and Travel Tips at Tory Burch (Rodeo Drive)
Celebrity stylist Brad Goreski (also of Fashion Police) and Elise Bronzo, Head of Member Experience at Indagare, hosted a lovely event on the Tory Burch (Rodeo Drive) rooftop and discussed travel tips and style inspiration with champagne and sparkling water. A sneak peek of Tory Burch’s Resort Wear Line 2020 was also revealed for the first time.
Celebrity stylist Brad Goreski (of Fashion Police on E! network) and Elise Bronzo, head of member experience at Indagare, hosted a lovely event at the Tory Burch on Rodeo Drive rooftop to discuss style travel tips and Tory Burch’s Spring 2020 line. Brad Goreski also touched on Tory Burch’s key looks in her current Fall 2019 collection.
Ruffles, pantsuits, asymmetrical hems, and color blocking are all stunning are a few statements that describe Tory Burch’s current Fall 2019.
Sparkling water and champagne was served, as the discussion and sneak peek show began.
—> Goreski’s tips on how to wear ruffles, pantsuits, asymmetrical hems, and color blocking:
Wear ruffles as details in your outfit. Around the collar, or along the hem of your blouse.
Get to know and love pantsuits. Pantsuits are versatile because the pieces can be worn separately.
Add different textures to unexpected asymmetrical layering.
A sneak peek runway revealed three different looks from Tory Burch’s Resort Wear 2020 collection.
Sheer and nonsheer combinations, chevron velvet polka dot, showing skin while camouflaging skin at the same time, kitten heels, loose easy silhouette dress without losing the person behind it, and bright mini bags.
Tory Burch’s new evening bag is tongue and cheek yet still sophisticated and youthful.
Goreski’s tips on how to wear Tory Burch’s 2020 Resort Line:
Add a black turtleneck underneath the loose and flowy dress to mix it up.
You can still wear florals during Fall.
Elise Bronzo from indagare’s tips for EASY YET STYLISH TRAVEL:
Always pack a carry-on, it’s easier.
Buy beauty products at your travel destination to save on space (if needed).
Tory Burch’s Fall 2019 and Resort 2020 line is easy to pack, as it does not wrinkle.
To avoid travel fatigue and needing to take a vacation from your vacation, journal on your return flight to process your trip.

5 Ways to Wear Snakeskin Over the Knee Boots! Los Angeles Edition
Now that Fall 2019 is officially here, it’s time to bring out thigh-high snakeskin boots! Here are 5 ways to style over the knee snakeskin boots. 
Now that Fall has arrived, it is time to bring out thigh-high snakeskin boots!
Below are 5 outfits styled with snakeskin over the knee boots and Los Angeles Fall weather inspired….which is basically summer weather during Fall.
Below are 5 snakeskin thigh high boots outfit ideas.
Outfit #1
Mid length skirt paired with thigh high boots.
Also, What colors go with snakeskin boots?
You don’t always have to wear black or white with snakeskin.
You can explore color with snakeskin. However, 1) Stick to one color and wear it head-to-toe, and 2) Try earth tones like dark green, dark camel, cream, or chamoisee.
Earth tones you can pair with snakeskin:
Earth tone chart via wikipedia :)
Outfit #2
Minimal casual with a little detail.
Try pairing a casual dark jean and white tank outfit with a drapey, delicate, silver belt with snakeskin boots.
Outfit #2
Minimal casual with a little detail.
Outfit #3
Simple, dress blouse paired with snakeskin thigh highs keeps the look classy.
A white crisp blouse for day and a black one at night paired with a black mid-length hem coat, in a contrasting texture such as leather.
Outfit #4
Pair cargo pants with snakeskin boots. Again, you can stick with any earth tone for cargo or jean.
Many times people assume you can only wear skinny jeans or straight legged pant with thigh highs, but try mixing it up with cargos! Just keep the rest of the outfit simple.
Outfit #5
Classic flowy black skirt with thigh highs.
In order to keep your look classy, especially with thigh high snakeskin boots, try pairing your flowy skirt with a long sleeved top. In this case, a turtleneck :)
~The thigh high snakeskin boots~
Where did I shop for these over the knee snakeskin boots? I actually found these in a small boutique on Melrose Ave. They are not name brand or designer, but the quality has still held up well.
As long as you are comfortable and can walk easily!.. and the shape and material are on point, go for it.
Here are some thigh high snakeskin boots now available online:

How-To Maintain the Shapes of Your Purses and Boots with this Easy Easy Hack!
This is so easy!
Have you ever wondered what to do with old clothing that is too destroyed to donate or give away? I feel guilty about throwing these types of clothes away since they will most likely end up in landfill. Also, it can be another thing on your list of things-to-do i.e.: ordering bubble wrap or stuffing paper for filling your leather handbags and boots….
However, did you realize you can just cut up old clothing (that are too destroyed and stained to giveaway) and use THOSE instead? Old stained or torn clothes work perfectly to fill boots, purses, or any other item of clothing or accessory that needs its shape maintained while stored away in your closet.
Scroll down to see pics of the process!
That is seriously all there is to it! Now you can contribute to the landfill crises of fast fashion by abstaining throwing away your old clothes while filling your boots and purses instead. You’re welcome!
For more info on how to care for the specific material of your boots or purses, Giuseppe Zanotti’s website has a nice guide HERE.
