When I think of summer, I think of Music Festivals, Beaches, Theme Parks and Pool Parties. My favorite thing to wear to all of these places & events are rompers and overalls. I think they are one of the most versatile items to wear. If you're going to the beach or the pool, you can pull a romper on over your swimsuit. If you’re going to a party or event that is more dressed up, it’s easy to pair your romper with heels that look elegant and classy. Plus, I feel like you can dress down any romper or overalls with a cute pair of flats or keds and it will make for the perfect theme park outfit. The way you accessorize an outfit makes a big deal in changing the look and feel of it, especially when it comes to rompers that come in so many different colors, prints and shapes. Here are a few of my romper and overall favorites:

Jessica Simpson Juniors Romper, Sleeveless Crochet-Knit | Material Girl Juniors Romper, Sleeveless Pleated Cutout

-These rompers are perfect for wearing for a night on the town! You can pair them with heels to look more dressed up or flats to look more casual. Either way, these rompers are adorable and will make you stand out.

 

Fashion Star Romper, Sleeveless Moonlight Polka-Dot A-Line | Marilyn Monroe Juniors Romper, Sleeveless Sweetheart Polkadot-Print

-I’m a big fan of polka dots and these dotted rompers are just perfect! I think you can wear them for all occasions and still look fancy!

 

American Rag Juniors Shorts, Flag-Print Overalls | Keds Juniors Shorts, Polkadot-Print Overalls

-Overalls have made a comeback! I think these two overalls are ideal for 4th of July and summer barbecues! The unique print makes them unlike anything else!

 

Anyhow, I hope this helped you find the perfect romper for summer! Please let me know if there's anything else that you'd like to see. Have a great weekend!


Cheers,

Hello Fashion Lovers,

My name is Tiffany Borland and I am thrilled to be the new Brea Mall and Shops at Mission Viejo Style Setter!!  I have been running a personal fashion blog for about 4 years now called, Tuolomee (I named my blog after the yacht in my favorite book, The Great Gatsby). On my blog I share my own outfits, wish lists and style tips! My blog has grown so much these past few years, as well as my style, which I'd like to describe as very feminine, put-together and classic with a slight edge. I love mixing bold prints with simple pieces, or throwing on a leather jacket to toughen up a dainty, more girly look!! Through my personal blog, I have collaborated with many clothing companies, magazines and designers and will be bringing a lot of fashion insight to your computer screens! If there is anything in particular that you'd like me to post about, or get advice on, please leave a comment and I'll be happy to help. :)

Hello! Hello!   I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day!! There are so many great movies out, so I'm sure some of you are aware of the new Great Gatsby movie. I was so excited about it because I'm a huge fan of The Great Gatsby. My blog, Tuolomee is actually named after the yacht in The Great Gatsby. I read the book every summer to gain inspiration and fall back into a place of drop waist dresses, extravagant mansions and genuine love. I had mixed feelings when I initially heard about the movie because I hold on tight to the image I've created in my mind and I'd hate the thought of anyone tainting the way I see Gatsby or Daisy or Nick. But the movie was great, I loved almost everything. Personally, I think it would have been much better without Jay-Z and Beyonce's music and although Leonardo Dicaprio is an amazing actor, I don't think he looked the part of Gatsby (or at least not what I had thought him up to be). I do think the movie hit the nail on the head when it came to fashion. The dresses and accessories were perfect and I loved all of the suits Gatsby wore and the dresses that draped across Daisy. In honor of the novel and the movie's success, I put together a little 'Guide to Gatbsy', so you can get a modern version of that 1920s look! ;)         Items: Topshop Embellished Skater Dress, Tasha Crystal Pond Clutch, Marie Antoinette Sterling Lace Earrings, Manolo Blahnik 'Carolyne' pump     Hope you have fun partying like it's 1920! :)  

 

 

If April showers bring May flowers...then what do May flowers bring? PILGRIMS! Okay. Okay. This post really has nothing to do with pilgrims, but it does have A LOT to do with flowers and this week being the end of May! So, I decided to put together some outfits that revolve around one of my all time favorite prints- FLORAL! Let's face it, floral print goes hand in hand with Spring/Summer the same way knitwear and muted tones remind us of Fall. Sometimes it seems over done or like it's too much, but really... I never get tired of wearing it and my closet is literally overflowing with daisies, roses and tulips printed on pretty dainty dresses and fitted rompers. Aside from floral printed clothing, I also love floral headpieces, shoes, and accessories. Flowers always seem to add a nice, elegant touch to things. Plus, I love feeling feminine and girly and wearing floral does just that. :) I guess it's time to stop and smell the roses...        Items pictured: RED Valentino Floral Polka Dot Lace Dress, Alexander McQueen Floral Embellished Skull Clutch, Aerin Corsica Sandal, Marc Jacobs 'Daisy Eau So Fresh' Eau de Toilette, Rock N Rose Daisy Floral Garland Head Band

 

 

Aside from this being a great Spring and Summer outfit, I think this outfit will be perfect for weddings, bridal showers, romantic dinners, dates and even for a night on the town or on vacation. I will be making more style guides and favorite outfits for occasions soon. Stay tuned!

 

xoxo
