Though we are all itching for fall layers, the summer sun continues to blaze on! Find some shade and keep cool in one of our summer favorites, the Seeley Dress. The ultra light-weight, silk fabric is perfect for beating the end of summer heat.
.

It is already the end of July and we are headed into August.. soon summer will be over and fall will be here. I love the time when the weather is still warm, but your fall wardrobe cravings begin. It forces creativity to rock out wearing summer clothes with a fall spin.

.

Erin Wasson shows us how it is done. Mix in fall boots with summer’s distressed denim shorts and worn-in tees. If the weather cools off throw on a vintage coat and hit the road.

Now with many years of modelling behind her Elodie Bonis, from the famous FORD modelling agency in Paris, is as independent and committed as ever.  Her dynamic image has lent itself to many different designers and cosmetics brands, and she continues to flourish in her job with the enthusiasm of a child.
.
Fervent about fashion, art and communication, it’s through travel that Elodie has developed a passion for anthropology and a keen taste for change, with her heart devoted an immense love to all the wealth that can hold each trip.
.
Being spontaneous, this young woman tends to an ideal that has always been dear to her: a commitment to human beings and nature.  And having an adaptable and eclectic taste, it is with the brand Quicksilver Woman that Elodie has found harmony between her mindset and the way she likes to dress.

Pack light and be stress-free!

Once again, wearing my Quiksilver Women Vanishing Horizon tank dress. I love layering this dress under skirts, and today I wore it under a high waist denim skirt. I love that you can see a bit of the dress peaking out of the bottom – so fun and playful! Because of the extreme racerback, I threw a vintage lace crop top underneath and finished of the whole look with a big statement necklace. A layered look that feels light and cool for summer.

After catching some rays in the afternoon, enjoy a girls’ night out or go on a hot date. Don’t let picking your outfit ruin your night! With Quiksilver Women’s White Heat Backless Top, you’ll be showing off your tan while still keeping it classy. Spice it up with your favorite long necklace or keep it simple with a pair of dark skinny jeans and black pumps. Have a HOT summer night!

Overalls, overalls.. get your overall here! This summer is a perfect time to romp our in a pair of overalls. Toss them over a bikini on the way to the beach or style them up with a tank and straw hat for a day in the city. You can’t get more effortlessly chic!

Pick up the Bombay Beach Romper and start your summer right.

It is June, and that means summer is officially here! It is time for basking in the sunshine, reading a good book and wearing your shades all day long. Be inspired this summer by the lazy hazy days of the past – short shorts, vintage tees, hipster bikinis, and of course a hot new maillot.

Quiksilver Womens has a great selection of suits to get you in the summer sun!
