GirlsGuideTo | {21 Summer Fashion Essentials #6}: White Minidress

We’re counting down until the official start of summer with one of our fave fashion bloggers, Gabrielle of Resort Rock Sugar. She’s made a list of the 21 fashion and beauty essentials no girl can do without this summer. Make sure to check back daily to kick off your summer looking fab! Take it away Gabrielle:

The must have article of clothing for sexy summer nights is a fitted white mini dress. Looks fabulous with a tan! Pair it with colorful platforms or nude heels.

White heels are a fashion don't.

I like to look for mini dresses that I can belt so it doesn’t look quite so bridal/rehearsal dinner-y. And tough booties or grommet and spike details will keep away the possibility of looking twee.

*Written By: Gabrielle, a self-professed fashion junkie, and the blogger behind Resort Rock Sugar, leads a dual life. Quite paradoxically, she spends her days in a downtown highrise office building as a busy civil litigation attorney, but you wouldn't guess it if you peeked inside her closet. There you would find everything from fringe tank tops to short leather mini dresses, essentially nothing she can wear to her 9 to 5, err, 8 to 8 job. On the weekends, when she isn't discovering hot new designers whilst hitting up her favorite shopping haunts in LA, or taking in the brilliant fashion that is LA's scenester crowd, she is documenting it all via her blog, and probably from a prime seat at the Coffee Bean on the corner of Beverly and Robertson, because in LA all you need to do is step outside to get a little fashion inspiration.
