To me seersucker is the quintessential summer textile. No matter the color, it has a fun and relaxed vibe that is so much fun to style.

This particular skirt is polished and perfect for work.

I’ve had everything I’m wearing here for at least two years which goes to show that you CAN find classic pieces at Forever 21.

I’ve always loved lace dresses, they’re so fun and feminine and you can style them so many ways. I love the contrasting look of a girly lace dress with a denim jacket or vest and stilettos. But they’re also fun with a more laid back summer look of  flat sandals and a panama hat.

I kept this look flirty and fun for a happy hour with friends last night.

I’ve been loving peach and coral all spring so when I spotted these pants at Target I snapped them up right away – they come in a few fun summer colors (I got them in lime green too)! They are slightly cropped, but since I have short legs they come to my ankles. Perfect for early summer nights when the temperate drops a bit.

Remember months back when Target collaborated with Missoni and introduced most of the country to the vibrant zig zags fashionistas had coveted for decades?  How could you forget?? The website crashed, angry housewives brawled in the aisles, and most people left with more scratches than merchandise.  I had to work that day so I sent my mom to her nearest Target in Orange County as soon as the doors opened.  Unfortunately there was already a huge crowd and she was unable to obtain the majority of my ridiculous wish list.

While I did get a few things, I began to notice other stores were riding the coat tails of the Missoni craze and I happily climbed on board.  This dress is the perfect example.

I’ve always been attracted to bright colors.  I think it goes back to being a child in the early 90’s watching teenagers with their neon pink and green rollerblades on the boardwalk in San Diego.  So, every time this trend cycles back I can’t help but feel nostalgic.

Luckily, as the weather warms up stores start to roll out neon by the numbers.  Below are a few recent outfit instagram shots that left me feeling forever florescent…

The other night I went to a great friend’s restaurant opening in Huntington Beach.  I’m not exactly a “foodie” (that word sounds so pretentious) but it was some of the best flavors and food I’ve ever had.  Check out Slapfish if you’re in the area.

I didn’t take any pictures at the restaurant but the colors in my dress kind of matched the colors in the food/sauces.  It wasn’t an accident.
