TINY PURSES
Remember when tiny glasses were a trend? Well move over glasses because now tiny purses are taking over! Like the glasses, these purses aren’t really practical unless you only carry lip gloss and your credit card…but they make any outfit trendy and cute so that’s all that matters, right?

ANIMAL PRINTS
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you know that leopard has been a huge trend for months now. As much as we love it, sometimes we have to switch it up. This summer try out a new animal print such as snakeskin, cow, zebra or tiger…or even mix’n match them together!

WESTERN/COWGIRL
Anything cowgirl related was a major hit during festival season, and the trend seems to be continuing into summer. The easiest way to incorporate the western trend into your outfits is by pairing them with some sassy cowgirl boots. They look especially cute with sundresses and if you want to be even more bold, try out a brightly colored cowgirl hat with an outfit or swimsuit!
