Mirrored Sunglasses & Tropical Prints for Summer

On one of these hot summer days, I decided to wear my tropical printed dress from Whitney Eve which I thought to be quite fitting for the season. I also like that it's a bit more understated with the colors of the print and neutral fabric paneling. The neckline give focus to the shoulders, and I wore a multi-stranded necklace from 31 Bits. Had to shade my eyes from the bright sun, so I wore my new ZeroUV sunnies. This dress definitely is one of my go-to pieces this summer, what are some of your go-to pieces?

Whitney Eve Summer 15 Collection

Last Friday, I took the train from OC to Union Station in LA and Renee picked me up and we headed to an event to preview the Whitney Eve Summer 15 collection and meet Whitney herself at the Indoor LA, a rad event space in the heart of the Arts District in DTLA (so rad that I wanted to move in and live there). Whitney was inspired by tropical vibes and created a line that wasn't as literal with all tropical prints and bright colors, but instead incorporated perforated fabrics, lace, subtle cheetah patterns and tropical floral prints in more neutral hues like black, white, and blush pink. I especially liked how she mixed prints and textures together to create interesting and detailed pieces such as paneled summer dresses, two pieces, athletic jackets and jogger pants/shorts, and off the shoulder tops; you can shop the entire collection here.
I got to take home a piece from the collection, snagging the Hidden Dress and I can't wait to unashamedly wear it every day this summer. Organized by BK Events, the other guests and I also enjoyed complimentary manis by Beauty & Wellness app Priv, fashion illustrations by the uber talented Jeanette Getrost, bites from Urban Palate and juice from Juice Served Here. Along with my Whitney Eve piece, I also took home a bag of goodies which included a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Bloom That, and products from Urban Radish, Coordinates Collection, and First Aid Beauty.
