Anrabess Linen Palazzo Pants

These comfy pants are great for any summer activity. I love a good basic that you can style however you want! If you're going on vacation this summer, I highly recommend grabbing a pair of pants like these, because you will not regret having a good pair of breathable linen pants. You can find these in literally any color for $36!

Cozyease Floral Embroidery Knot Front Cami Top

This $27 top looks like it comes straight from Urban Outfitters or Abercrombie & Fitch. Flowy tops are super trendy again, and they are flattering on everyone. I love the detailing on this white and blue top, but there are four other patterns to choose from. I can imagine walking around in Greece wearing this top, especially with these colors!

Zqffb Swim Cover-Up

Don't miss out on a good swimsuit cover-up this summer. I used to just wear a big t-shirt to the beach, but I recently graduated to wanting to look a bit more put together with cover-ups like this one. This top is great to just throw over your suit and pair with some shorts or linen pants for a full 'fit! You can shop this cover-up in white or black for only $20.

Light Dot Halter Neck Dress

I love, love, love this pattern! I recently ordered a dress from this brand, and the material is incredible. It's durable, yet very breathable. This halter dress is perfect for a party or date night. And can we talk about the neckline? So fun! If you want to incorporate more patterns and colors into your wardrobe this summer, I highly recommend checking out this $33 flowy dress.

Ferbia Crochet Drawstring Shirt

I want this $25 top in every color. You can never go wrong with a knit top in the summer because they are so nice and airy. The drawstring is unique and allows you to adjust the top to your liking. You can wear it as a top or as a cover-up for the beach. Personally, I would love to style this with a long white maxi skirt.

Mebius Womens Floral Mini Dress

Everyone needs at least one good floral dress in their wardrobe. They are so fitting for the spring and summer seasons, and you'll be wearing it all the time when it gets warm. I was immediately drawn to the shape of this dress. I love the criss-cross neckline and the stretchy waist. Dare I say, this is the perfect picnic dress! You can get this one for $32.

SeekMe Linen Short Set

You can look so effortlessly put together with any matching set. But as we know, linen and summer go together like wine and cheese.

Backless Dresses

ASOS halter neck low back maxi sundress

Let those shoulders breath, girl! There is something so subtly sexy about a backless dress, and bonus points when it has a halter neckline. This dress gives you a great excuse to throw your hair in an updo, especially in the summer heat.

​Bubble Dresses

H&M Bubble-hem Dress

We are SO back with the bubble skirt hem. Now, they may not be as puffed out as they were in the '80s or the early 2000s, but may this trend never die. You can never go wrong with a little movement and a little flare to your summer look. Today, you can find all styles of bubble dresses and skirts...and I am loving it.

Euro-Summer Linen Dresses 

J.Crew Squareneck midi dress in linen

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the linen trend is here to stay. It is so timeless that it's totally worth investing in a nice linen dress that will last forever. You can wear it out to dinner on vacay, or just throw it on to run errands around town. If I were to create a capsule closet (which TBH I could never — I'm way too much of a maximalist), I would a million percent include a white linen dress.

​Sleek Slip Dresses 

Wilfred New Only Slip Satin Midi Dress

Hello, sexy! This is the perfect nighttime dress for going on a date or drinks with the girls. The simplicity of a slip dress acts as a perfect canvas for all kinds of accessories. I would love to wear this dress with some kitten heels, a statement necklace, and a clutch.

​Puff Sleeve Dresses

The A&F Emerson Linen-Blend Puff Sleeve Mini Dress

I have sang my praises about this specific Abercrombie dress many times before, but in general, puffed sleeves are such a funky addition to a basic dress. They add nice dimension and are flattering on any body type!

​Ruffle Dresses

Free People More Is More Mini

Like this More is More Mini dress by Free People, more IS in fact more! Sometimes, additional fabric creates flowy movement that aligns with the free spiritedness of summer. This dress makes me wanna spend the day running around on the beach or in a field barefoot somewhere.

Cottagecore Dresses

Sunday Best Strudel Poplin Maxi Dress

I hope cottagecore never dies. This poplin Artizia dress is everything and more. It's cutesy, and perfect for any day event. You can make this look super casual, or elevate the dress with some heels.

Ingredients for Paleo Christmas Cookies

For the cookies:

• 1/2 cup grass-fed salted butter, softened
• 6 tablespoons raw honey
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 3 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

For the frosting:

• 6 tablespoons coconut butter or coconut manna
• 1/4 cup cacao butter
• 1-2 tablespoons honey
• Plant-based food coloring
• Vegetable-dyed sprinkles, for topping*

How to Make Paleo Christmas Cookies

1. Add the softened butter and honey to a large mixing bowl. Cream the mixture together using a handheld mixer until it is smooth. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract and whisk until they are well combined. Pour in the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking soda, and continue mixing until the batter has come together smoothly.
2. Separate the dough into two, and place each one on top of a piece of plastic wrap. Roll each dough into a ball, then flatten to a thick disk, cover completely with the plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to firm up for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove one of the dough discs from the refrigerator, unwrap the plastic and place the dough on top of a piece of parchment paper, then top it with another piece of parchment paper. Use a roller to flatten out the dough to about 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch thick. Work quickly with your favorite Christmas cookie cutters, and use a thin spatula to lift the cut cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the cookies in the oven for 10 minutes. Let them cool for a few minutes, then place on a wire rack for further cooling. Gather the leftover scraps back into a ball in the plastic wrap or parchment paper and place it back in the refrigerator, while working with the other piece of dough. Do this in batches to keep the dough from getting too warm and so you don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
5. While the batches of cookies are baking, use a small saucepan to lightly melt the coconut butter and cacao butter together over low heat on the stovetop. Remove the pan from the heat when the ingredients have just melted together. Stir in the desired amount of honey, then set aside to cool and thicken up slightly. If you are using food coloring, add in the desired amount into the frosting mixture (1-2 teaspoons of green or red should do the trick). If you plan on only using white frosting, only use a small amount of honey, as it can make the frosting an off-white or light brown color.
6. After the cookies have completely cooled, decorate them with the frosting and sprinkles as desired. If you don’t have any professional piping tools, an easy fix is to place the frosting in a plastic sandwich bag and remove all the air when sealing the top. Cut a tiny tip off one corner of the plastic bag, then gently squeeze and pipe over the cookies. Use one plastic bag or piping bag for each color of frosting. Top with corresponding sprinkles and enjoy!
