Bring Your Summer Wardrobe from Drab to Fab

Everyone has felt the terrible realization, after flipping through dress after dress in your closet, that you have absolutely nothing to wear. Too old, worn too many times, too short, too tight, there are various reasons for each subsequent rejection, but the bottom line is, you need a new outfit. Luckily, Miller/Hamilton Companies are here to help you find this summer’s must-haves.

Summer in Style

The dog days of summer are here at last, and there’s nothing we love more here at Miller/Hamilton Companies than laying out in the sun! Whether its the beach, the pool or the Great Lawn here in New York, nothing says summer like tan lines. However, we’ve noticed that most beach towels are either really comfortable and a complete fashion faux pas or they’re tres chic and completely uncomfortable. Uncomfortable towels make sunbathing less than enjoyable, and ugly towels just make you look bad, so what’s a girl to do? Never fear, ladies: we think we’ve found the perfect marriage of both chicness and comfort in Christy USA beach towels!

Christy USA’s beach towels are an institution in England, with even Queen Victoria requesting Christy towels in the 19th century. Made of 100% Cotton, with one side looped for absorbency and velour on the other side to ensure maximum comfort, Christy USA’s beach towels come in eight bold and beautiful prints that will go with your entire summer wardrobe. Summer may be half over, but its not too late to show off your beach bod with Christy USA’s towels!

Totally Tribal Trend

Two words: jungle fever. There is something about summer that allows even the most hesitant fashionistas to dare to walk on the wild side of their wardrobes. This summer, it’s all about the tribal trend. This animal and ethnic-inspired fad features bold patterns, wild Native American-esk prints, chunky bangles and a pop of color. Our very own Shop The Far Out is embracing this tribal chic trend with this “Aztec” Skirt (Torn by Ronny Kobo), “Tribal” Maxi Dress (Funktional) and “Waisted” Tank Dress (Twellth Street by Cynthia Vincet).

But this funky fad is not just about the clothing. What says animal-inspired better than real rooster feathers…in your hair? I know you’ve seen them; from Ke$ha, to Selena Gomez, to Steven Tyler (?!), to sorority girls alike, hair feathers are just about everywhere. While news reporters may point out environmental concerns and your dad may complain that it’s depleting his fishing lure supply, the hair feather trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

So if you’re looking to channel your inner warrior princess this summer, throw on a fringed, tribal Tee and a flowy maxi skirt, clasp in some colorful hair feathers, grab a fedora and some gold bangles, and TA-DA tribal hipster perfection.
