TERESA BROCK All photos by Teresa Brock Teresa is a stay-at-home mom and parttime blogger. She used to be a corporate CPA, but has way more fun at home planning outfits and taking care of her little boy. Her goal is to find ways for everyday women (from moms to working girls) to feel fabulous and be stylish! Some days are harder than others to be stylish as a mom, but she finds that confidence is a huge component in looking her best!
YOU SUGGEST FOR THE MOM ON THE GO? I love First Aid Beauty cleanser, Bobbie Brown Hydrating Face Toner and Lancome High Definition Mascara. I rarely have make-up on besides mascara, so these are my daily go-to products!
WHAT ARE YOUR 5 WARDROBE STAPLES? My staples are: boyfriend jeans, Converse/Nike casual sneakers, a silk cami that can go with jeans or a skirt for work, a casual little black dress, and wedges that transition from casual to dressy.

WHAT 3 BEAUTY ITEMS DO
HOW DO YOU STYLE SUMMER LOOKS FOR WORK?
In the summer I always recommend wearing skirts to work! I would wear cute tanks or sleeveless blouses with my skirts, and throw a cardigan over them for the office. I have every color cardigan imaginable so I never had a shortage of work looks. I was never able to wear sandals or open toe shoes to work, so I lived in low heel wedges in the summer months. I would also wear flip flops into the office and change into dressy shoes at my desk.Â
DO YOU HAVE ANY
THE SUMMER? My family and I took a trip to St. Simon's Island in late June. We stayed in a rental house near the beach and had a blast exploring the island! We hope to go to Scotland late Summer or early Fall, but nothing has been booked yet!

WHAT ARE YOUR TOP 3 TRAVEL ESSENTIALS?
I can't travel without a big tote (usually my Louis Vuitton Neverfull), comfy sandals (Tory Burch Miller sandals transition well from day to night during the summer), and a dress that can be both a cover-up or a maxi in the evening.

THROWING IT BACK
RACQUEL GOLDY ROCKY'S ROAD This month we had some help slipping back in time with Florida Panther's In-Arena Host, Racquel "Rocky" Goldy. When Rocky isn't busy getting Panther's fans pumped for the game, she enjoys picking up affordable fashion finds from A'Gaci and Love Culture boutiques. Their focus on fast fashion trends means Rocky can experiment with looks that take her from day to night without freezing her bank account!
70's inspired fashion gets a 2018 update with modern cuts and accessories. Psychedelic prints look cutting edge on a fitted shift dress, and rompers in classic cuts and colors will never go out of style! Bell sleeves are also having a moment, and look best when done in textured fabric like lace (pictured at right) or bold florals, and paired with a high-waisted jean. All looks featured are from stylist, Jessica Alvarez's boutique, PB Back On The Rack located in downtown West Palm Beach,FL.
THEÂ BEACH BOYS
SUMMER SNAPSHOTS The heat is on with Tyler and Anton showcasing one of summer's hottest men's fashion trends, the Hawaiian Shirt!
A N T O N & T Y L E R
ALOHA STYLE The Aloha shirt can conjure images of "Weekend at Bernie's," but when balanced with clean casual pieces like tailored chinos and white sneakers or espadrilles as styled on Anton and Tyler, the look is more couture then cruise.
PARADISE FOUND You don't have to break the bank to get in on the the tropical vibes this season! All looks featured here are from budget friendly favorite, Old Navy, and similar styles can be found at Zara, Urban Outfitters, and J.Crew. Look for lightweight fabrics and slim cuts to keep the look modern. See you in paradise!

still remaining effortless and can be dressed up with statement earrings like these eyecatching colorful stunners.Â

Airport Style 101 Written by: MACIE REYNOLDS
Summer vacations are upon us, and that means it’s the perfect time to plan the best traveling outfits! Not only is it important to stay comfortable on those long flights, but it’s also great to feel confident while strolling through the airport. For me at least, I’m at my most confident when my outfit is put together and just right for my surroundings! If you’re wanting to be a confident and stylish traveler who is efficient while doing it, look no further than these tips below! Layers- Denim jackets, simple blazers, and cardigans galore! You never know if your trip through the sky will be stuffy or overly chilly, so it’s important to be prepared for everything. Jackets are the perfect way to be a trendy traveler and can easily be put on and taken off to accommodate any temperature!
Slip-On Shoes- Having to take shoes off and put them right back on during security checks is never fun, but with slip-on shoes, it’s a little easier! Slides are always super cute and super casual! You can wear fur, leather, or pearl embellished slides for a great effortless look. Also, you can never go wrong with slip-on sneakers! Accessories- Sunglasses and hats are not only perfect for spicing up your look after furiously putting yourself back together following security checks, but are also great for blocking light if you need a quick nap in the terminal. A small backpack can also be super cute and super functional!
Cold Shoulder

Top Summer time is casual, trendy and fun! With sunny days and warmer weather, it makes it easy to put an outfit together that goes from day until night! For this summer season, there are three types of shirts that are a must! Each one is very different, and can create a style that makes you, well, the most stylish YOU. Trending now are the cold shoulder shirts. With such a defined top, it speaks for the outfit without having to do too much. Pair it with a nice pair of ripped jeans, and heels, and you got yourself an outfit for a “girls night!” Some of the shirts are Vneck lined, while others are scoop neck.
Ruffles & Blouses You could wear a nice long necklace to help define your shirts lining. The shirt designs tend to be flowy and would look good on any body type. You will be feeling confident in this outfit for your summer Now, why not RUFFLES? This big and bold material on your shirts is the hot thing this summer. The amazing thing about ruffles is that it attracts the eyes, It’s hard to miss! It is not always about how expensive or trendy the shirt is, but it’s how you wear it. If you feel good in it, then that's all that matters.
These ruffle tops come in all different styles. You can find off -the-shoulder, t-shirts, or even cropped tops! Each top can be put together to create a showstopper for the summer crowd. Lastly, we all like a good blouse. They are good for work, casual outings, or even fancy occasions. Well, many stores added prints to their blouses this season. They are easy to make an outfit pop and walk in confidence to a happening occasion. You will look put-together, and ready for your summer plans!
