The sun is out and it's finally starting to feel like summer! Just in time for stores to bring out all the fall things. Ha! But in all honestly, our summer is only just beginning and it won't be anything close to fall until at least Thanksgiving. Crosby and I are taking this opportunity to wear all the cute swimsuits we can... starting with these fun one-pieces we wore Sunday.
on me: one piece c/o, similar coverup, shorts, hat, bag, sandals

I’ve always loved a romper. A few years back I was on a major romper kick and they were pretty much all I wore that spring and summer. I’ve dialed the obsession back a bit and don’t wear them quite as much, but this one is really cute and I wanted to share.

Summer has always been my favorite season, there are just so many fun things to celebrate! I also love how my personal style is a bit more low maintenance when it’s hot. I kind of give my hair and skin a breather by spending less time heat styling and putting on much makeup and embrace a more natural look. The same holds true style-wise too and I wanted to share my go-to summer wardrobe staples. Each of these pieces can be mixed and matched and styled in so many different ways. This would also be a great packing outline if you’re heading out of town in the summer months!
Whenever I see anything seersucker I instantly think of summer. This dress is no exception. I wore it wine tasting over memorial day weekend and wanted to wear it again this weekend with my new straw tote.

I don’t know if I’m alone in this but when it comes to swimwear, a cute beach bag is the thing I forget to buy. I seem to spend all my money on bikinis, coverups, sandals and sunglasses and forget the bag. I’ve been hauling along an old ratty one for a few seasons without really thinking anything of it. But recently I’ve been seeing SO MANY cute ones and I’m like, where have I been? So, to prep for my upcoming trips I’m determined to find the best one possible.
This dress from Paper Crown’s collaboration with Rifle Paper Co screamed 60’s resort wear to me. It was an obvious choice to pack to my most recent trip to Palm Springs. Like I’ve mentioned, Jeff and I can’t go out to Palm Springs without visiting our favorite hotel and this dress fit in so well at The Parker.
If I were to design a dress to represent that hotel it would be this one. It’s loose, breezy fit is the perfect piece to throw on after a day in the sun. And it looks so pretty when you do a few twirls in it. Because, let’s be honest, when I put on a dress my inner six-year-old comes out and I can’t help but twirl away.
