Something to Brunch About

"My bank account has 1 brunch and 1/2 an uber in it."

- A meme I found on Instagram.

Hey gals, summer is in full effect and there's a ton of stuff going on. Events, festivals, concerts, parties, and my favorite of all, BRUNCH! Spring and summer are like the perfect seasons for brunch, because mimosas, DUH! But even better, you get to eat outside, enjoy the beautiful weather (most days), and be kind of lazy afterwards. If you're like me, you do brunch quite often! And when I say "do brunch," that means you dress up for it, too. I mean, what's brunch without style? *waits for a real answer* Here's some style inpso for all the summer brunches you'll be attending this season.

Zara and Uniqlo have super cute pleated pieces, so don't miss out. Keep on reading to see my take on this super cute trend.

Spring Fresh: Girly Gingham and Bell Sleeves

Most people think of picnics when they think about this print, but it's one of the hottest trends for spring. Stores like Zara and H & M currently have full collections, featuring tops, skirts, dresses, pants, and more in this print. A gal sportin' gingham has good taste!
