GUEST POST: LIVING IN COLOR PRINT

Chicago is going on vacation to South Florida! Via blog, at least. (Coincidentally, Jill took a surprise vacation to South Florida this week.) Take it away, Kristin!

--------------------------------------------------

Hi JUNCTURE Readers! I’m Kristin from Living In Color Print – a fashion/lifestyle blog based in South Florida. I’m honored to take over Jess & Jill’s site today and share with you some of the hottest {no pun intended} Summer Trends in Florida. The Sunshine State is always a popular spring break or summer vaca destination, so here are some things to keep in mind while packing for your next trip to the south.

1. To The Maxi.
Maxi dresses and skirts are a Florida summer staple piece. The weather is fairly predictable June-August…hot & humid. Oh, and more hot. Maxi lengths offer the look of something a bit more sophisticated than shorts and a tank, while the long, flowy fabric allows you to stay cool{er}. It’s the perfect look to rock on the beach over your bikini or dress it up with espadrilles and statement jewelry for a dinner date or rooftop party. Definitely a must-pack item before hitting the sand.

2. White Hot.
If there are any basketball fans out there, you may be aware of a little excitement recently regarding the Miami Heat winning the NBA National Championship! Aside from t-shirts, new casts, and radio personnel promoting ‘White Hot’ for the Heat, white on white is a huge fashion trend right now. White on white ensembles allow for a much cooler color palette – dress it up with a statement necklace or a colorful armparty and you’ve got yourself the perfect Florida summer look.

3. Be Bold.
Never be afraid to experiment with your colors choices, particularly in Miami/South Florida! Go bold, or go home. Statement florals, neon, colors blocking, pattern mixing, texture pairing, the list goes on and on.
