#PSBPopCulture: Summer ’16 Style Guide by Taylor Johnson – May 25, 2016

I have a habit of thinking that Nordstrom is the only store in the world, but they have every new trend I want so I can’t stay away. Here are a few essentials I get from Nordstrom just in time for summer:
Shirts
While shopping for a night out outfit I find myself drawn to every off the shoulder top in the store. Showing off your shoulders is definitely the trend right now. Nordstrom’s Savvy section has endless amounts of off the shoulder looks that you can dress down or dress up. I love the off shoulder shirt I got from Nordstrom with a bold floral print for a dressier look.
Shoes
Currently in every girl’s closet are: white converse and Birkenstocks. Birkenstocks are super comfy though not the look I am going for. However, subtle gladiator sandals are still fashion forward and won’t kill your feet all day either. They go great with almost anything from skinny jeans to dresses. Definitely a summer staple. Nordstrom has several options from Hinge, Sam Edelman, Topshop and Sam Edelman. Edelman is my personal favorite.
Jewelry
I am currently obsessed with Fabulina necklaces; great quality and in sync with the latest trends. They are an earthy style that can add something to any outfit. My personal favorites are the arrowhead necklaces but all of them look great with a simple top. I love adding a Fabulina necklace that is a completely different color than my outfit so it can really pop. Fab’rik boutiques carry Fabulina necklaces or you can shop online.
Make-Up
My Kylie Lipkit obsession hasn’t died yet. KoKo and Literally gloss basically go with me everywhere. However I am also obsessed with Anastasia makeup line that you can get at Nordstrom or even Ulta. I described their eyebrow gel to my friend Kaitlyn Burton as “life changing” which is dramatic but I love it that much. If your eyebrows don’t look good your entire face of makeup can look off. Lastly, Anastasia has an amazing powder contour kit that is so easy to use with an angle brush. Every make up account on social media is always talking about contouring but their kit is kind of fool proof and takes your make up to the next level.
