Summer isn't over yet!


There's still time to relish the warm days of the Summer. So make the most of it while you can.


Whether you're planning a last-minute trip to your favorite coastal city with the kids or a girls trip with your besties, it's all about living it up and creating memories.


From the beach to the pool, we've got the looks that serve both style and function.





Poolside Posh




Some say it's a hot girl summer but I like to say it's a hot fun summer, period!


So get out and enjoy it! Punctuate your pool side look with something bold.


Opt for a suit with a flattering fit and unique print. This tie - dye two-piece suit is giving me all the festive vibes.


The styling options are endless. You can rock the full set or pair with something new. It's perfect for a late night dip with the Bae or hanging with the kids by the shoreline.

Resort Vibes



A weekend getaway is a great way to reset and recharge. So your ensemble should channel a sense of ease and comfort.


Try pairing a flowy kimono or duster with your favorite summer white look.


Add statement shoes that mirror the colors of the tropics. Top it off with a unique woven bag, which is a timeless summer must-have.

One of the Locals


Nothing says ease like palazzo pants and light layers. So elevate those summer staples by incorporating your own unique style. Try styling your fav denim dress as a vest.


Top it off with a unique vintage jewelry piece, which evokes the eclectic vibes of the local flea market.

  1. Hot Hats

Nothing says glamour like an oversized statement hat. Although I rarely go to the beach, I love donning large hats in the summer. They just add that extra dose of vintage glamour that elevates everything from shorts to a simple black dress. Think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.


For this look, I paired my strapless one - piece bathing suit from Victoria's Secret with these flowy palazzo pants that are for sale in our shop.


Then I added wooden accessories such as this half - moon clutch from Misguided. The Cult Gaia dupe adds texture and contrast to the look for a fraction of the cost.


I love the easy, breezy flow of this ensemble and the layered textures add depth.

2. Maximum Heights


Maxi skirts are flattering on most figures, including petite women, which is why I love them.


I stand slightly taller than five feet so a floor length skirt or dress could easily dwarf my petite frame. The trick is to wear heels or wear a fitted top to balance the silhouette.


The beautiful thing about maxi skirts is the versatility. You can style them with sneakers or heels to change the occasion.


You can even pair them with a halter or one - piece bathing suit to create a beachy summer look, ready for off - shore activities.

3. Fit to be Tied



Your natural waist is typically the smallest part of your body, so I try to cinch it in whenever possible to create that much coveted hour - glass silhouette.


The paper - bag waist pant is flattering on most body types. It emphasizes the natural curve of the waist line while hiding any problem areas in your mid - section.


Did I mention, that these pants are also linen, which is one of my favorite fabrics for summer?


Linen breathes so well in hot humid weather and typically comes in neutral colors, making it an easy add to any wardrobe.


I love wearing linen pieces, especially in the late summer months of August and September. It serves as the perfect neutral back drop to the bright sunset tones I typically like to wear around this time of year.

4. Cover It Up


Another fun look for daytime wear is to add a layer to your bathing suit. I tend to opt for a brightly - hued cover - up or wrap dress, especially if the suit is in a neutral color.


You can also pair it with a fun kimono is a vibrant print.

5. Palazzo Parade


I love a breezy, flowy palazzo pant in the summer. It's the perfect way to outfit a sexy strut without sacrificing comfort. I usually don't wear sweats in the summer because it's simply too hot. But palazzo pants typically come with a drawstring waist, making them the perfect summer substitute.


It's elevated loungewear at its finest.


The flowy structure also balances the silhouette, making the look appear much more chic than sweats.

Behind the Scenes: Sapphire Skies

By Taya Flores

High Street Fashion Co - Founder


 

While plaid usually typifies holiday collections, here at High Street Fashion Co., we love to shake things up. We also adore a healthy does of vintage glamour.


Our latest collection: Sapphire Skies mixes formal wear with street style for an editorial take on holiday fashion. Instead of pairing gowns with traditional strappy platforms, we toughened them with leather, textured furs and combat boots.



We also took inspiration from '80s fashion -- borrowing from vintage silhouettes, playing with volume and vibrant color.


We ditched the traditional red and green color palette and opted instead for the rich jewel tones of gemstones: ruby, sapphire, emerald and amethyst.


The looks also played with the rich textures of fur, metallic, leather and sherpa.


Fashion is meant to inspire and we hope this collection inspires you to think big and bold thoughts, reach for bright stars and imagine your life in vivid color.
