Shopbop is having their spring sale now through March 8th. It’s one of my favorite times to stock up on items that rarely (if ever) go on sale. And the more you spend, the more you save.

Jewelry:

You know how much I love Gorjana, and all of her pieces are included in the sale. Some of my favorites I wear all the time are this dainty star necklace, adjustable bracelet, coin pendant necklace (pictured above), lock chain necklace, gold huggies, coin necklace, and crescent pendant (I’ve had this one for about 5 years and continue to wear it all the time).

I’m a big fan of the shell jewelry trend and some pieces I’m eying are… this gold bracelet, shell barrette and pink bracelet. 

Denim:

My two current favorite pairs of high-waisted jeans are both included in the sale. The Agolde Jamie jeans (left) and Levi’s 501 Skinny (right). Both pairs are lighter wash, slightly distressed and can be worn tons of different ways.

I ordered two pairs of Agolde shorts and only plan to keep one pair. The Parker vintage cuttoffs and Parker vintage loose fit.

Dresses:

We’re going out Friday night to celebrate a friends birthday and I’m debating between two dresses in my closet. I’ve been wanting to wear both! The first is this sequin fringe dress from BB Dakota (pictured above), I love how unique it is. The second is this vegan leather dress from Rebecca Taylor, it’s such a great LBD and I know I’ll continue to wear it and love it for years.

Swim:

I’ve always been obsessed with swimwear and have more bikinis than I could ever wear. I love buying new ones every year and this neon green smocked bikini (top, bottoms) is my latest that I cannot wait to wear. I’m going to Tulum in a couple months and will definitely be bringing it. I also just got this leopard top and matching shorts that’s a really cute alternative to a coverup. Plus my favorite pom pom coverup is included in the sale and comes in 3 different colors.

*these sunglasses have been a favorite of mine for the past 5 years.

Odds & Ends:

• I wear these spanx faux leather leggings a few times a week and love them so much. They’re incredibly flattering and can even be dressed up.
• I love Clare V. bags in the spring and summer, this tote is one of my favorites.
• Another spring/summer staple of mine is this clutch from Cult Gaia.
• I’ve almost purchased these white mules so many times, I think they’re so versatile, they also come in snake print.

If you can’t tell from these photos, it’s getting harder and harder to take pictures with a toddler. Crosby would much rather be running around than stay still for a photo. But we still try. Sunday we put on some pretty dresses, did our hair (how cute are her pig tails?!) and headed out to shoot these. I think they may be some of my favorites because she was so in her natural element…. which is non-stop.

I darkened my hair a little over the weekend. Right now it seems dark (for me), but I think it will lighten up a bit when I wash it a few times. Speaking of hair, Crosby’s is getting SO long. It’s still kind of mullet-y but I’ve been trying new hairstyles to switch up her everyday palm tree look. The pig tails are my favorite, but she looks so grown up. She’s 17 months old today and I can’t believe she’ll be one and a half in a month! I swear it was just her first Birthday.

I got this dress in the mail last week and couldn’t wait to wear it. I think the colors actually make it the perfect transition to fall and still perfect for the end of summer. It’s a wrap dress so it’s really flattering and I love the ruffle details.

Crosby’s dress is from spring but might still be available in some sizes. She’s still really petite and is wearing a 6-9 month size. But now that I’m looking at these pics I see it’s getting a little short, she seems a lot taller all of a sudden.

sunglasses, purse, romper c/o, similar sandals

My last look from Napa Valley. This is the romper I mentioned I wore twice since I packed so lightly for the trip. Luckily, I always bring my travel steamer and that made it possible to re-wear this fun Adelyn Rae romper.

I also only packed one pair of sunglasses for the whole weekend, which is something I pretty much never do. I like having options… what can I say. This pair is just so versatile that they worked for wine tasting in the day, the wedding welcome party, wedding ceremony and even the day after pool party.

It’s been so hot at home. Too hot! I never thought I’d say this but I think I’m ready for fall. Summer has always been my favorite season, but this year it’s been basically unbearable. We live in an area where most homes don’t have AC and you usually don’t need it much, but this year it’s been ridiculous. It’s supposed to get even hotter this week so Crosby and I will probably head to the beach to fight it.

I’ve been living in my favorite cutoffs and light weight tees and tanks. I’ve worn this pair of shorts so much I thought it was time for a new pair… I first ordered these but ended up returning them because they weren’t as high-waisted and were a little big one me. Next I ordered this pair but they were still too big so they’ll be going back too. I guess I just need to get another pair of these since I they fit and I love them so much.

Hope you enjoyed my ramblings/stream of consciousness.. ha!

Hope you have a great week and stay cool if it’s sweltering where you live.

In the summer I always seem to gravitate towards white pieces. White tops, jeans but especially dresses. I was instantly drawn to this white tiered mini dress by Wayf because it’s so unique. I love the tiered layers and pink, yellow and blue rick rack trim.

I got this dress in the mail awhile back, probably over a month ago, and tucked it away knowing I’d wear it for something soon. May/June is full of celebrations for us. It starts with Mother’s Day, then Jeff’s Birthday at the end of the month, our anniversary in June, Father’s Day, my dad’s Birthday, my Birthday and even a few other family celebrations mixed in. It’s very busy! So I knew I’d have a chance to wear this fun dress.

Last week was our third wedding anniversary. It seriously crept up this year! Jeff and I made plans to go out and celebrate and I was so excited to finally get to wear this white dress. I brought along my favorite denim jacket but didn’t end up needing it because the weather was so warm and perfect. Not typical for June in Southern California but I’ll take it!

White dresses are always a must for summer. I wanted to share a few I’m loving in case you’re as into them as I am. I really love this cute crochet one, this other tiered sundress and this pretty white midi dress that’s under $50.

Now that we’re heading into the official start of summer most of our celebrations are over aside from my Birthday. July is looking really busy for us with travel and I’m starting to shop for pieces I can bring along everywhere from Palm Springs to Napa.

Hope you have a great start to your week – can you believe it’s the last week of spring?!

I’m really obsessed with bougainvillea right now. Like, I want to take a photo of it everywhere I see it. We have this big white fence on our side yard that you can see from our dining room and kitchen and I’ve wanted to grow bougainvillea on it for a while now. About a month ago Crosby and I went to Home Depot to buy some small vines to put in pots in hopes that one day they’d take over the fence.

This season I’m completely obsessed with round straw bags. Last year I loved this one from Clare V. but didn’t get it before it sold out.
