The short romper jumpsuit has grown up. No longer just for playdates at the playground. Now available in sophisticated styles and sizes for grown ups, the summer romper is one way to keep cool and maintain your style credibility. Honed in fabrics like silk, knit and linen these delicate little short jumpsuits look very pretty dressed up with a pair of ankle tie wedge espadrilles.
We spotted a few short romper jumpsuits and are coveting them as our go-to summer uniform. Haven’s ‘Amy’ silk print romper embraces a subtle ethnic tonal print with a blouse effect and tie waist. Pair it with an eye-catching pair of beaded wedge espadrilles. Emblazoned with the signature zigzag pattern the Missoni Fortaleza woven jumpsuit indulges our search for “La Dolce Vita” with a spaghetti strap tank and flowing shorts. The Missoni jumpsuit is perfect for a bikini cover up or night on the town. Twin the Missoni jumpsuit is a pair of Louboutin light blue ankle tie espadrilles. Elizabeth and James’ black silk summer romper will be the urban girl’s best friend. A decidedly daring jumper for the perfect downtown look. Don a pair of black caged sandals or beach-ify the look with a pair of black ankle tie espadrilles. Alexander Wang’s edgy zipper-embellished silk short romper is made even cooler with a graphic marble print. Pair the oversized short jumpsuit with a pair of pretty lavender hued Louboutin espadrilles.

I was recently given a set of Alex and Ani bangles as a gift, and although I had heard about the brand, I wasn’t privy to their design philosophy and eco-conscious aspect of the jewelry. Each item is handcrafted from recycled materials, in particular metal, and having all products made in the USA, having a bag and t-shirt line myself, I’ve really strove to promote buy local, even when I know that having things done overseas would save me a tremendous amount of money. Besides thinking the aforementioned aspects are pretty cool, Alex & Ani has a patentd expandable technology that they use in their jewelry which allows bracelets, necklaces, rings and even earrings to slide seamlessly on a wire to achieve a customized fit. Indeed, I was impressed when I tried the expandable fit via my new bracelets, since at first glance, they looked miniscule!
Check out Alex and Ani for more info, and if you were wondering: some of my favorites? See below!
Large Phoenix Feather Earrings, $78
Gwen Expandable Wire Bangles, $158
Ascending Dove Expandable Wire Ring, $86
