I’ve been dying to visit the Carlsbad Flower Fields the past few years but was never able to get down there during the season… until yesterday. Jeff, Crosby and I headed out the door bright and early to get to the fields when they opened and it was seriously SO gorgeous! Let me apologize in advance for the number of photos in this post… we were a little snap happy with how pretty it was in person.

Happy Tuesday! We’re having a blast of winter weather this week, but over the weekend it was warm and amazing and I was able to wear this fun new spring top. I love the floral print and ruffle detailing and it’s currently on sale! I’m hoping this cold weather doesn’t last long because I’ve started shopping for spring and I can’t wait to wear more of my new things!

11 months!! And as you can see these were probably the hardest month of photos to take, Crosby did not want to lay still and was all over the place. Over the past several months they’ve gradually gotten more difficult, but these take the cake. Next month will be even more of a challenge, I’m sure.

A few weeks ago I went on a little spring shopping trip after a closet purge and came home with this top. I try to clean out my closet every other month or so… it’s so necessary with the amount of clothing I accumulate. Anyway, I noticed I was lacking some fun springy things and loved everything about this top. The colors are perfect for spring/summer/even winter in Southern California and I love the tie detail. I plan on wearing it again this week with my new “mom jeans.”

If this print looks familiar it’s because I wore the bomber jacket version just a couple weeks back! It’s so light and airy for spring, I couldn’t help but get it in both pieces. This slip dress is so comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I wore it to a brunch a few weeks ago with wedges and a denim jacket but you could also wear it with heels for something fancier. I’ve even belted it for a more fitted look. Love versatile pieces like this.

We’re in the middle of another summer heat wave and I’ve been trying to keep my style low-maintenance lately. That means lots of light pieces and this floral maxi dress is perfect for beating the heat. I’ve been on board with the off-the-shoulder trend for a few seasons but I think this one is my first OTS maxi dress. I love how feminine it is and that it looks much more lux than it’s $28 price tag. I mean, that’s less than it costs to fill my car up with gas.
