Syracuse isn’t exactly a fashion community like New York City. You don’t see new looks, trends, interesting pieces or anything out of the ordinary when it comes to style and fashion. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t people in the area that love fashion too! As a fashion photographer, getting together with other style lovers in Syracuse is a fun way to show we have style and to practice our fashionista skills. I got together with food and travel blogger, Sarah Narburgh, to put together some summer looks to brighten up Syracuse’s style! For look one, we went simple, boho, cute and comfy! Pairing a white tank with a pair of Brandy Melville palazzo pants. Palazzo pants are a huge and amazing trend this summer, which will most likely carry on into the fall. They are light, airy and comfortable. Even better is that they are possibly the ultimate fashion invention, the stylish alternative to sweatpants! Look two is where we went edgy. With a Brandy Melville “Stay Classy” graphic tee, thrifty $6 high rise leather shorts and an H&M necklace. This outfit does a basic tee in a stylish or “classy” way. And we paired it with shorts that follow the high waisted craze. These shorts are also (besides the sweet price!) amazing because you can dress them up or down all summer long. Lastly, look three is for the more bold and daring fashionistas! A PacSun tie dye dress, Gasoline Glamour white, daisy sunglasses and hot red pumps. It’s a great look that stands out at any summer party. It’s fun, flirty and definitely full of color! There are so many outgoing looks that summer can offer. Especially this summer, which has amazing trends: palazzo pants, cool graphic tees, bold sundresses, kimonos, tribal, boho and more.

We know Lucy Hale as one the famous liars, Aria, on Pretty Little Liars. When she isn’t trying to cover up Alison’s lies and protect herself from A, Lucy is working on brand new projects outside of acting. Our first glimpse of Lucy’s other talent we see in “Another Cinderella Story,” done by ABC Family, where she’s a secretly awesome singer. Now Lucy has a country album, which was released on June 3rd of this year. Hale’s first on screen performance was on So You Think You Can Dance and she sang “Lie a Little Better.” Her hit single “You Sound Good to Me” is on the recent playlist at Hollister stores, which is the location of her latest project, a fashion collection! Lucy Hale now has a collection and contract with Hollister Co. that will be in stores on August 8th. How do I know this now? Employee perks, that’s how! Part of those perks allowed me to purchase one of her pieces at 50% off, a maroon, rose patterned romper. While a few things in the collection caught my eye, I was drawn to the romper because it’s super comfy! The collection is totally country chic with lots of pinks and florals. All the fabrics are light weight and airy, perfect for a summer day! Lucy wore the same romper to her performance at the Hollister House in California today, the same day I wore it too! She styled it with a simple brown belt, necklace and tan booties. I wore it simply on its own and also with a mint tunic because the house was a tad chilly. I also paired it with black flats, my go to summer shoe. Check out Lucy Hale’s Hollister Co. collection online and in stores for back to school!
