Every time I wear something floral this time of year I think of The Devil Wears Prada… “Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.”

I can’t help it! Even though they may seem so basic, I find myself reaching for them more than any other print in my closet. Except maybe stripes…

This dress is just so pretty and it gives you the Angelina leg. I wore it around Santa Barbara last weekend and now I want to wear it every day until September. Really though, I’ll probably wear it to a shower and even a wedding before summer’s over. It’s the perfect seasonal day-time “guest attire” and deserves to be seen as much as possible! continue reading

The last time I was at the Madonna Inn I was on a road trip with my family and I was 13.  All these years later it’s just as kitschy as I remembered. It’s such a fun spot that probably hasn’t changed much since it opened in the 50’s. We only stopped for breakfast, but I’d love to go back for a longer stay. All of the rooms are decorated with their own theme and you can actually choose which one you want to stay in. You can see them here. Also, if you’re there for more than one night they don’t mind if you switch rooms so you can experience more! continue reading

I think road trips are more fun as adults. When I was a kid I wasn’t really a fan of sitting in a car for hours, only stopping for the occasional meal or bathroom break. But now that I’m an adult, Jeff and I love breaking up a long car ride with stops and places we want to see. This past weekend we did just that. We headed up the coast to visit some friends and stopped whenever we felt like it.

Our first stop was Santa Barbara and the weather could not have been more perfect. I layered this white dress with my denim jacket but ended up taking it off because it was such a beautiful day. Whenever I’m in the car (or airplane) for a long time I like to bring a hat in case my hair gets too crazy. This one was the perfect balance to my springy white dress. continue reading

I love a good onesie. In the spring in summer, they’re basically all I want to wear. If only I felt the same each time I had to use the bathroom while wearing one… #sorrynotsorry

I digress.

This one is close to perfection. I’m obsessed with the kimono-like sleeves and floral print. I wore it last weekend and felt festival-fab without having to be at an actual music festival. Instead we celebrated my best friend Shelby’s birthday in our backyard and called it CoShella.

Also, I’ve basically been wearing this bag on repeat since I got it a few months ago. But oddly enough I think it’s the first time it’s made an appearance on the blog! continue reading

A high-waisted skirt paired with a  crop top is an easy outfit that always make me feel pulled together. There’s just something so lady-like about skirts like this one and love how I feel like I’m playing dress up, but as an adult!

I went a little nautical here with this red bag and Hermes scarf that I’ve had for years. I actually got at a vintage store shortly after I graduated college and moved to LA. I felt like I found gold and bought it and have treasured it since. continue reading

When it comes to spring I don’t think there’s a more appropriate color palate than pastels. And this one is right in line with Pantone’s colors of the year, rose quartz and serenity.

I love dresses you can style a bunch of different ways. This one is cool enough to wear somewhere  casual with sandals or booties and a denim jacket, or you can dress it up a bit like I did here. ILY Couture has a lot of dress options that have a similar vibe, I’m loving this one and this one for spring too. I still can’t get enough of these sandals and love how many times I find myself wearing them. continue reading
