It might be fall according to the calendar, but I’m still over here sweating like it’s mid-July. One thing I’ve tried to adapt recently is to dress for the season not the weather. This can be tricky when it’s technically autumn but temps are above 100 degrees. My solution? Pick pieces appropriate for the weather in colors for the season. I tried to follow that here with this blue maxi dress but it might be a little more summer than fall. I think I made up for it with my cognac accessories. So while I’m still wearing open-toed sandals, I’m feeling a little more ready for the pumpkin patch. continue reading

It has really been the summer of off the shoulder everything and I’m fully embracing it. This dress is light, chic check out the price! I wore it to an outdoor Birthday party over the weekend and stayed cool. Sometimes that’s hard to do in August. It can be hard to justify spending money on clothes this late in the season, but when they’re priced this well they’re way worth it. I don’t know about you but I’ve been pretty sick of all my summer clothes and this dress was the perfect excuse to change it up. continue reading

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. continue reading

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

More favs…

My favorite swim designer is also stocked there. I’m dying for this bikini and this one-piece.  continue reading

One of the things I love about New York is how diverse the city is. Each neighborhood has a unique vibe and feels like it’s own little town. On our recent trip we were lucky to be hosted by The Paul Hotel in the NoMad district. It’s a fairly new boutique hotel that is super convenient to just about any where in the city. We loved sitting at the tables outside with our (complimentary) coffee and muffins in the morning to start the day. Also, how amazing was the view from our room? continue reading
