Spring and Summer Looks Courtesy of Josef Boutique

Get inspired with these Summer looks put together by Josef Boutique

Josef Boutique, named after owner Felicia Jose, has been a go-to shopping destination in downtown Menlo Park for over a year now. Their modern and contemporary style is great for dressing up or dressing down this summer.

Owner Felicia picked out three summer looks for you Menlo Park locals, accessories and all. She is showing us all that style and heat can go together, and no matter what your agenda is, Josef has something for us all.

Sun dresses are a favorite over the summer months, and current trends include bold, bright colors and patterns. Though there are several suitable pieces in the shop to create this look; we chose a floor length Maxi dress accompanied with some sandals and a slight statement necklace.

Next up, for you short-lovers, is a pair of dark shorts with a lose fitting white button-up. To make this outfit pop, the look was paired with a gold triangle necklace, my absolute favorite piece in the store, and some two-toned shoes, taking after the oxford-look. The clothing might scream casual, but the accessories bring this look to a whole new level of chic.

The last look Felicia put together is a perfect solution to a day of casual bliss. Starting with a light blue button-up, she added a pair of white ankle-length pants. We took the look further with a pair of leopard print loafers and a pair of shades. This look has it all for a day of lounging, grabbing wine with friends, or running some errands.

Another perk about Josef Boutique is the online boutique. You can shop in store, or see their entire collection online and order everything straight from your computer. This makes it so much easier to do a little shopping if you don't have the time to head down to the shop. It is also a great way to check up on what's new at the boutique.

Josef Boutique just celebrated the two-year anniversary of the store's opening on June 6. In light of that, Felicia is putting together a "birthday party", so to speak, with champagne, cupcakes, giveaways and of course shopping! Stop in anytime next Thursday, June 23, from 3-7 p.m. to join the fun!
