I’ve always loved a sleeveless sweater and think they can be some of the most practical tops in my closet. Even though they’re sleeveless they’re a bit thicker and are really easy to layer over. Perfect for chillier months and still fine in the summer with bare arms.

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago during a little break from our July heatwave. It’s been SO hot this month! I know I can’t complain considering a lot of the country is experiencing triple digits, but it seems never ending. How’s the weather where you are? We’re heading to Napa tomorrow where it’s really warm during the day and cooler at night.

But back to the sleeveless sweater trend. I wanted to share more of them since they’re such a wardrobe staple and I think I need a couple more for the next few months.

• Love this striped one… it comes in two colors.
• I have this one too… it’s such a cheery color.
• I love this one and it’s such a good neutral.
• This one is such a cute option for fall.
• This one is a cropped option that I love.
• Another striped one but this one is still so cute.
• Love the ruffle detailing on this one.
• This one is so chic and a great basic.

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?!

Sometimes it’s fun to wear one pattern and color scheme in three different pieces head to toe… even if they don’t “match.” I love that these high- waisted pants are vertical striped – it helps to lengthen my short legs. I played up the stripes and had fun mixing and matching with the two other pieces. Sometimes more is more. TGIF!

Tis the season… for a little plaid! I’ve been really drawn to all things festive and tartan recently and thought I’d share a few of my favorites. Plaid is perfect for the Holiday season but can be worn well into the winter too.

Since this weekend marks the unofficial start of summer with Memorial Day on Monday, I thought it would be the perfect time to share a swimwear collaboration I did with Swimspot! For the next week I will be sharing my favorite looks from the shoot I did last month in my hometown.

I don’t think I’ve ever worn a rash guard before but I was loving it! I felt like Sporty Spice and it provided the perfect amount of coverage. It would be great to throw on after soaking up the sun or while doing something active.

This coverup is everything I look for when picking out beachwear, brightly colored with a relaxed fit. I also love that through the crochet you get a little peak at the pink and orange striped bikini I was wearing. It’s definitely a must have if you’re like me and spend a lot of time at the beach and pool in the summer.

I hope you all had a great Christmas! I’ve been enjoying my time off work by relaxing and taking a break from the computer.

This scarf is so warm and soft. I was so excited when I got it at a Stella & Dot event awhile back. Leopard is really such a neutral and  I love wearing it with all different colors.
