Soft, warm pink is the color of the season. Nicknamed “millennial pink” because the millennial generation has made it the color of the moment, this blush-toned, mood-boosting color is actually quite versatile. And it’s popping up everywhere—on runways, street style stars, and your favorite fashion-obsessed celebs.

Millennial or not, you can pull off this shade of pink. For your inspiration, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite ways to wear millennial pink this season.

Make it Sporty
To keep from looking too young and girly, find pink sporty pieces; think a cropped hoodie, a bomber jacket, or sneakers.

Mix & Match Fabrics and Textures
When wearing head-to-toe pink, mix and match fabrics and textures to break up the color.

Keep it Simple
When in doubt, keep it simple. Small, sophisticated details and embellishments help tone down this feminine color.

Suit Up
Add a playful twist to a classic; the next time you’re on the hunt for a suit set, look for one in a soft pink hue.

Pair With Contrasting Colors
Make a statement by pairing this soft shade with bold, saturated colors, like bright red or purple.

Stripes will never go out of style. They work for any style—from preppy to minimalist to eclectic and more—and on every body type. Of course, stripes are a year-round style, but they are definitely having a moment this summer. Street style stars, bloggers, and fashion “It girls” everywhere are loving summer stripes. Take a look at some of my favorite bloggers looks featuring my favorite go-to pattern.

Blair Eadie, Atlantic Pacific
Blair scored the perfect striped summer dress via Reformation. If I could wish a dress into my closet, it would be this one! I love the wide stripes and the low neckline.

Tamu McPherson, All The Pretty Birds
Tamu’s modern mix of different stripe patterns puts a spin on two classic pieces! I wouldn’t have thought to pair the two together before seeing this outfit.

Jordan paired a striped trouser with a chambray shirt to create a classic yet effortless summer uniform. Be right back—going to find a pair of striped paper bag trousers now!

Summer is here, and we’re in peak vacation mode! Vacation style is more carefree and relaxed than your typical everyday style. But whether it’s a vacation abroad or a weekend road trip, packing for a vacation can be overwhelming. There’s no reason to have to start your vacation with stress, so I’m sharing some of my favorite vacation-worthy styles from bloggers below.

Florals for spring: groundbreaking? Hardly. Still, florals are a universally flattering print that will always be a classic. Before we head into the high heats of summer, take advantage of spring’s beautiful weather and get the most out of your floral prints this season. Check out some of my favorite fresh ways to incorporate florals into your wardrobe!

Off-the-Shoulder
Try one of this year’s hottest trends for an updated floral look.

Lady-Like Florals
Finding the perfect spring occasion dress can feel nearly impossible, but Lucy’s small print daisy wrap dress has everything you need.

Edgy Florals
If a floral print is too girly for you, look for a piece that has edgier details, like this sheer crop top with a modern embroidered applique.

Accessory Pop
If your style is a bit more minimalistic, add a floral pop in your shoes, bag, or jewelry.

Floral Print-Mixing
Dare to be bold and mix together different floral prints, like Maria did in her playful outfit above.

Patch It Up
Breathe some new life into your old denim pieces by adding floral patches.

Dark Florals
I absolutely love a rich, dark floral print—like the one in Blair’s jumpsuit—as opposed to the usual, more expected bright colors you see in spring.
