I don't know about you, but this rainy weather has been bumming me out! Where did all the sunshine go?! Dreary days call for extra cute clothes and most importantly, a trench coat.

But with the weather getting hotter and hotter, not just any trench will do. That's why I love this linen one from GAP. Not only is it super duper cute, but it's lightweight enough so you're not sweating by the time you get to work (it's okay, we've alllll been there.)

I paired this with a linen button-up (obviously can't get enough) and a bandana around my neck. I've been loving this trend and can't wait for it to catch on. Doesn't it add such a fun touch?!

First of all, I just want to thank you guys for all the incredibly sweet comments, texts and notes you shared with me in response to finally fitting back into my favorite sundress (catch it here if you missed it!) Each one has meant the world to me. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for you guys. YOU GUYS ARE BAE.

Now, onto something I completely avoided last year - shorts. It was a stressful summer last year…house hunting and a few weeks of crazy work schedules really took a toll on me (and definitely increased the overall sales revenue at Taco Bell.) But this year, thanks to a more healthy routine, I’m putting shorts back in the lineup. You can take THAT, 2 bean burritos with a side of cheesy nachos. I'm soooo over you.

While I’m getting back into the swing of wearing shorts, I must say, I am digging a good pair of boyfriend shorts. They’re comfortable, they’re flattering and you can dress them up or down. Thing is, I will always and forever have a hard time finding shorts that fit me right…so I was thrilled when I slipped this pair from GAP on to find they were a perfect fit! (If you follow me on snapchat, I was literally dancing in the dressing room with joy. Literally.) This dark grey relaxed henley is another winner in my book. The light-weight fabric and relaxed fit are exactly why this is going to be my go-to summer style.

And if you’re looking to add a few pieces to your summer wardrobe, I hope to see you at my event at the GAP in Tysons Corner on Thursday, June 4!

On Julien: Gap shorts, shirt, shoes and bag
