A Walk on the Wild Side- Flamingo Trend
Flamingos make me smile. They always have and always will! That’s why I am thrilled that all my childhood obsession is now a little less dorky and can fall into one of summer’s most playful trends, the tropical flamingo trend!
Lately I’ve been lusting over kate spade’s newest collection featuring “the rare birds of summer”. As always, kate spade finds a way to put a playful twist on her summer collection and these flamingos are almost too much for me to resist! Some of my favorite bags from her new arrivals are shown below. Beyond handbags, there are amazing wallets, phone cases, makeup bags, tees, dresses, etc., all featuring my favorite pink bird!
Although amazing, the price tags are a little high on these handbags considering they are extremely trendy and seasonal. But this collection did inspire me to pull together some amazing flamingo items ranging from jewelry, swim, tops, shoes, tech accessories and more (all with a more reasonable price tag)! I had a ton of fun pulling together these summer ready styles. Hope you enjoy them, happy shopping!

It’s finally starting to feel like spring is here and the tropical trend is in full swing! Everywhere I look there are quirky conversational prints and fun florals tempting me. As you can see, I am particularly drawn to the fruit inspired pieces! The items above are great for a beach day or a backyard barbeque. I think personal style is a great outlet to express your personality, so why not have fun with it? I love to add elements with a sense of humor into my wardrobe and decorations around the apartment. It’s easiest to start with accessories and prints (like the tropical backpack, printed hat and the fruit watch) and work your way into the bolder items (like the pineapple crossbody and the watermelon flats). Lastly, make sure to pair this tropical trend back to simple pieces, you don’t want your outfit to become a costume! Will you be sporting this trend this season? How will you put your personal spin on it?
