I’m really enjoying comfy basics right now, sweaters, boots and anything cozy to get me in a fall mood. I feel like I’ve been stock piling sweaters but can’t seem to get enough of them! It’s so cold when I go to work in the morning so the stock piling is paying off… at least until 11 am 😉 I love the cutout in the shoulder on this one, I always look for little details like that to make them stand out.

By the end of summer, the last thing I ever want to do is my hair. Unless it’s a special occasion, I’ve been air-drying it and extending the time between washes even more than I normally do. Which is great because it’s been taking a beating all summer long. Hats have been a huge savior with this and on our recent trip to Lake Tahoe I ended up packing three for the long weekend. The one I’m wearing is older and sold out but this one is practically identical!

I think this dress is the solution to my late summer wardrobe blues. I’ve been so sick of everything in my closet, but not wanting to get new summer things or jump right into fall. Luckily this dress entered my life as the perfect transition piece. I styled it a little more fall here with my favorite booties and felt hat but I know I’ll be wearing it in a summer-y way too.

I’m such a sucker for palm printed anything. I have dresses, tops, pillows and even a roll of wall paper that’s sat in my house for months waiting to be hung. I know it’s a trendy print but I love it because it reminds me of summer and Palm Springs – my favorite things.

I wore this dress to dinner on my birthday Friday. It’s such a fun swingy dress that’s perfect for summer because it literally does not wrinkle. You can just throw it in your weekend tote and go… or tuck it away in a suitcase for a trip and not worry about bringing your steamer. Because let’s be honest, no one wants to steam anything on a hot summer day. Am I right?! continue reading

Ever worn a crop top to a carnival? Me either. Spoiler alert: I wasn’t actually going to a carnival here, I just made Jeff pull over and shoot the look. Unfortunately the carnival wasn’t open yet. However, if there was ever a crop top and matching skirt set to wear to a carnival, this would be it. The colors are so carney-esque, don’t you think?!

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
