What I'm Wearing This Summer

Desert Island emoji 45 items
My summer wardrobe mood board. Petites. Cropped pants. Breezy tops, statement accessories, here’s what I’m reaching for this season. I'm looking for pieces that go from beach days, to in-studio days, to rooftop nights.

Tops

Light, breathable, a little flirty. My summer tops are airy blouses, either solids or bold prints. I like puffy sleeves, open backs, embellished textures. Bonus points if it comes in petite.
