Tropical Inspired Style: Palm Prints, Bright Hues, and Florals to Bring Out The Inner Island Girl
I was born in the inner city. They’d show up by noon and wouldn’t leave until late at night talking about their past lives back home. A toast (of coconut water of course), to tropical inspired style.

The weather warms up and the colors get brighter and bolder. Their inability to be afraid of color stems from the fact that even their homes exterior would be painted bright yellows, greens, and even shades of pink. dress, Pixie Market $65 | skirt, Pixie Market $69 | shoes, Steve Madden $71
Flowers are a huge part of the islands. Flor de Maga is the native flower of my parents’ homeland, which is like the hibiscus only smaller in size. Bright beautifully colored flowers fill up landscapes not just around the home but the untouched lands around the island. Wear floral head to toe, mix with a bold solid piece, or focus on a single accent like a heel for just a touch of flare. bikini, Topshop $72 | dress, Forever21 $25 | shirt, J.Crew $40
Palm trees go without saying. This season, the palm tree print has been huge. Crew. I, personally, love the idea of a full printed summer dress that is casual and carefree, just like island living. What tropical style trends are you looking forward to try to bring out your inner island girl?
