Boardwalk Fashion
The weather is heating up for summer fun, and trips to the beach will soon be in full swing. Philadelphia Style Magazine's Atlantic City issue is now on stands, and Kristin Detterline, Editor in Chief of Philadelphia Style Magazine is here to talk about boardwalk fashions and give us tips about what to wear and bring to the beach to look stylish this summer.
It starts with the bag…
A great bag is essential for a trip to the beach! Pack your clothes in style or walk along the boardwalk with this beautiful laser-cut bag provided by Vi Vi G.
A fashionable twist on a classic tote, this laser-cut leather carryall is lined with transparent plastic. Perfect for a day trip to the beach, this chic bag will surely pull any look together while holding everything from sunscreen to a beach towel.

Prints…
Bold prints are hot on the red carpet this season, and they will be even hotter additions to your wardrobe this summer. Vibrant patterns are the perfect accessory to the glowing tan.
I love these summer shorts by designer-duo self-made brand, Aso Damisi, (ah-SHAW DAH-me-see) that present timeless and classic designs heavily influenced by Nigerian heritage encouraging women to embrace their femininity and to feel confident enough to wear bold, bright, and beautiful garments.
Shorts provided by Aso Damisi, $35 each

Bright colors…
Bright, fun colors are an easy way to stand out this summer!
Add a pop of color to any outfit with these fun summer scarves. Summer scarves are a great accessory to dress up any look and here we have them in very popular warm weather colors - coral and turquoise.
We found these scarves at Knit Wit, and we love how light weight and simple they are. Knit Wit has stores in Center City Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr, but also has a store down the shore in Margate for those who need a quick shopping trip but already made it to the beach.
Summer scarves, $193 each

Hats…
Another fun trend I just love right now is fedora hats. We also found this great straw fedora while we found these scarves at Knit Wit, and what a great and classic look for a stroll in the sun or hanging out on the beach.
We love the detailing on this one with its cute blue and chocolate band.

Jewels…
Colorful statement jewelry is a great way to dress up and accessorize any look you wear to the beach. Here we have colored chain link bracelets and necklaces from Marlyn Schiff that are available at Tommy's Folly in Cape May. They come in a variety of different colors and are very reasonably priced with the bracelet sold for $56 and the necklace for $98.

The ultimate boardwalk look…
Here we have our model wearing the perfect summer boardwalk look provided by The Pier Shops at Caesars Tommy Bahama.
The Maxi Dress is a summer staple this year and white is HOT this summer. Perfect for a walk along the boardwalk or even a dinner date, the maxi dress is comfortable, and effortlessly stylish.
Here we paired the maxi with a cute pair of sandal wedges. Add a cute accessory like this straw clutch and some fun jewelry like a pair of chandelier earrings or a mixed chains bracelet. And, a summer look isn't complete with a pair of bold sunglasses.
