There’s a reason why summer is around, and one reason we love is that we get to strut our stuff on the beach.  And you know, by ‘our stuff’ we don’t just mean our bodies, we mean the whole package.  Before you head to the seasides, check the summer sale they’re having over at ShopBop. Today we found some really amazing stuff and that includes this edgy poncho from Brochu Walker, which could be a great cover-up for your bikini.

Brochu Walker Angled Poncho, was $285, now $142.50

And what to wear underneath?  Opt for a bright-colored string bikini.  Like this one:

Milly Fiji String Bikini Top, was $88, now $26.40

Other options for cover ups are loose t-shirts and shorts.  But why go for boring tees if you can have edgy ones? Check this three-strap back tee from KAIN Label.

KAIN Label 3-Strap Back Tee, was $97, now $48.50

Add a touch of high fashion to your beachwear.  Something blue and cheerful, perhaps?

Marc by Marc Jacobs Willis Knit Shorts, was $138, now $69.00

Whether you’re going back to school or campus, you gotta look hot but still subtle enough for class.  Think colors but simpler stuff like tube tops, capri jeans, flats and neon-colored computer totes.  Summer might be over but who said the fun should end there?  So without further ado, Fabcrush will help you dressing yourself up from head-to-toe with a casual summery look but chic schoolgirl sensibility.  Here we go!

We love leggings here at Fabcrush.  In fact, we love ‘em so much that we eliminated ‘Casual Friday’ and replaced it with ‘Legging Friday’.  And speaking of leggings, among the many animal-printed ones out there, we found a really cute striped Pencey Leggings.  They’re funky, and what we love most about them is the illusion of wearing foot warmers, without the unecessary bulk!

Okay girls, we’re all feeling a little bit flirty here at Fabcrush, and we thought we’d share the spirit with you.  We found some really really cute stuff that would surely tickle your fancy.  Let’s begin our Flirty 101 class.

You don’t need to bare all to appear flirty.  This Rachel Pally halter wrap top suits the intention without showing too much skin.  Men need to be given the sense of mystery!

We still believe that to appear flirty and sexy, you don’t need to show off your leggy legs.  Sometimes, the right silhouette with the right attitude will work out just fine.  Inspired by the 40’s glamor, this Paige Girl skirt from Amberlynn can bring out the vixen in you.

Last but not least, the most important element in appearing flirty: the stilettos.  Play up your style with colored heels and even colored soles, because believe it or not, the arch of the feet is the sexiest part of your legs!  If you’re already down and out with those Louboutins, we got a more playful pair for you.  Here’s the Hottie heels from The Highest Heels.

Work it girls!

We heart our friends at CoutureCandy.com as they are very generously giving out the TGIF 75% off for any Betsey Johnson, Iodice, Johnson and Catherine Malandrino design this Friday.  And don’t call us Fabcrush girls if we can’t find what we are sure you’ll love.

Johnson Suella Sailor Shorts.  We immediately found the buttons details very cute!

Iodice Gislene Dress reminds us of the 70’s glory patterns, but the simple modern cut brings it right back to the present.  Loves it.

For the gypsy girl in you, we think this pale pink Catherine Malandrino Handkerchief Skirt will suit your fancy.

And last but not least, the fabulosity of Betsey Johnson shows through this Black Mini Dress.  May look a wee bit like a slip, but it’s great for December parties!

Or, you might just want to shop the whole CoutureCandy.com!

Who wears short shorts? You do, and you’ll look chic while doing in the IRO Belted Pocket Short. The gray cotton shorts are versatile enough to dress down with a t-shirt or up with a blouse and heels. We love the high waist band, tie and cuffs on this piece; it sure beats your average denim shorts!

It might look like a skirt, but it’s not, nor is a skort. The Alexander Wang Charcoal Suiting Shorts are just that, a pleated, a-line style of shorts that give the illusion of something entirely different. That’s the fun part of these gray, tailored shorts; you can wear the like a mini skirt without the fear of the wind blowing the hem up! Pair these with a nice, crisp white blouse or tube top with a sweetheart neckline.

Buy: $265

When it’s warm outside, looking put together can get a bit challenging. Resist the temptation to throw on cut off denim shorts and flip flops with something a tad bit more refined, like the Dittos Saddleback Betty Shorts. These cute cuffed shorts with a 2″ inseam is made with a ton of fun details, like the tabs in the front and back, and the curved seams around the front pockets and back placket. These will look great with all your colorful halters and tube tops, plus a pair of gladiator sandals.
