A few weeks ago it was cold and cloudy and even rained once or twice. I was going a little stir crazy after being inside with a baby all week so we decided to head out on an adventure. We drove up the coast a ways and discovered some nearby beach towns we’d never really visited before. And even though it was cold and felt like our one week of winter, it was such a fun day.

I don’t want to brag, but this weekend we had perfect weather. Highs were in the 70’s and 80’s and it really felt like spring. I apologize to everyone who might be freezing in colder places, but it was warm enough for bikinis yesterday… although I opted for something a little more practical to do some work around the house.

I’ve been feeling uninspired with my current wardrobe this week. It’s so hard to dress for work when it’s so dark and cold when I get up at 5 am, but then by 12 pm it feels like summer. I’m longing for a little more consistency weather-wise… until then it’s layers. Here’s a fun batch to brighten up your Thursday.

I’m a total summer girl and am counting the days until I can be by the pool or on the beach. Our winter weather is bipolar in Southern California. Every year we get spurts of warm 75-80 degree days that fool us into thinking the cold is gone, which I’ve named “The Mid-Winter Tease.” Unfortunately, it never is and the cold always returns and feels like a slap in the face. I know it’s nothing to complain about compared to most of the country but I hate the cold.

Anyway, while I wait for summer here are some things I’m currently wearing. I am really about layers right now because of the unpredictability. While I’m still into the hi-low trend I’m not as obsessed as I was last year. And these sunglasses? They’re about six years old and I just rediscovered them. Love that! continue reading

Brr!

Last weekend it felt like winter hit Southern California. No more beach cover ups for me… at least for now. I’m sure it will be back in the 70’s before Christmas, but for the moment I’m enjoying the chill. It’s fun to bring out coats and other winter-y things as long as I know I’ll be wearing sandals and tank tops in the coming weeks.
