In the summer I always seem to gravitate towards white pieces. White tops, jeans but especially dresses. I was instantly drawn to this white tiered mini dress by Wayf because it’s so unique. I love the tiered layers and pink, yellow and blue rick rack trim.

I got this dress in the mail awhile back, probably over a month ago, and tucked it away knowing I’d wear it for something soon. May/June is full of celebrations for us. It starts with Mother’s Day, then Jeff’s Birthday at the end of the month, our anniversary in June, Father’s Day, my dad’s Birthday, my Birthday and even a few other family celebrations mixed in. It’s very busy! So I knew I’d have a chance to wear this fun dress.

Last week was our third wedding anniversary. It seriously crept up this year! Jeff and I made plans to go out and celebrate and I was so excited to finally get to wear this white dress. I brought along my favorite denim jacket but didn’t end up needing it because the weather was so warm and perfect. Not typical for June in Southern California but I’ll take it!

White dresses are always a must for summer. I wanted to share a few I’m loving in case you’re as into them as I am. I really love this cute crochet one, this other tiered sundress and this pretty white midi dress that’s under $50.

Now that we’re heading into the official start of summer most of our celebrations are over aside from my Birthday. July is looking really busy for us with travel and I’m starting to shop for pieces I can bring along everywhere from Palm Springs to Napa.

Hope you have a great start to your week – can you believe it’s the last week of spring?!

Six years ago today I hit publish on my first blog post. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for that long! Lately I’ve gotten a lot of questions about how I started blogging and I thought today would be the perfect day to dive into it.

May/June is a crazy time for us between our Birthdays, Anniversary, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Since this year it’s Jeff’s first Father’s Day I knew I wanted to do something special for him. One problem… he never wants anything and since his Birthday was just two weeks ago I was a little stuck. Then I started thinking a little outside the box, we’d done a few spa days in the past and he always seemed to enjoy them. Now that we’re new parents who didn’t really sleep for the first month, plus he works full time and never really stops to relax, I thought a massage would be the best gift I could give him.

Happy first (official) day of summer! This has always been my favorite season and I have a closet full of clothes that reflect that. I decided to wear this maxi dress to dinner to celebrate our anniversary last weekend at La Quinta Resort. I felt so bridal in it… just 52 weeks after our wedding. I love the lace and cutout details and managed to not spill anything on it during our whole dinner at Morgans #victory.

I think this dress would be perfect to wear to your rehearsal dinner if you’re a bride. I wore something kind of similar to ours and loved it.

Happy Monday – thanks for stopping by!

Sundresses are a main staple for me in the summer. I am always searching for a new one to add to the mix. It’s becoming obvious that palm print is a trend I can’t get enough of. It always reminds me of Palm Springs, which is fitting to wear in the desert. I wore this dress to breakfast on Saturday at La Quinta before changing into a swimsuit for the rest of the day.

I was so excited to find this hat at Nordstrom. At under $30 it’s affordable and so fun for summer. Even better, it disguises messy hair after a day at the pool or beach.
