Soak Up the Summer

Santa Monica, CA

Summer may be coming to a close, but the water’s still warm, which means there’s a little more time to don all your favorite swimsuits. But if you’re like me, and you’ve been wearing the same rotation all season, it may be time for a little last-minute refresh. To mix things up, I grabbed this classic one-piece from Victoria’s Secret. With sales up to 70% off—this deal is just too good to miss out on.  Check out the entire SALE right here and end the season strong.

Perfect Pastels

Santa Monica, CA

Free-spirited and ultra-flirty, this is the maxi dress I’ve been living in lately. It’s a great transitional piece and the refreshing floral print will brighten even your busiest Tuesday.  But what I REALLY love about it are the colors. Somehow SheIn has managed to design a dress that incorporates an entire rainbow of pretty pastel shades—without being too overwhelming. It’s perfection.

Pair with sandals for an afternoon event or tall wedges for night on the town, either way it’s sure to stand out.  No matter the occasion-- drinks, casual Fridays, birthday parties, beach dates--I’ve found an excuse to wear this long breezy number.

Going Gingham

Still in denial that summer is nearing the finish line? Me too!

And before the sun sets on my favorite time of year, I am wearing (and re-wearing) all the best styles of the season.

Traditionally reserved for little girls and tea parties, I have to admit that I’ve never been one to own a gingham ANYTHING. Not a dress, not a top, not even a scarf. But this year, designers have found a way to make this picnic-y print feel updated and new. From sophisticated cuts to ladylike silhouettes—suddenly I am sold on gingham!  Are you, too?

With a breezy cutout and front knot, this dress puts a modern twist on the classic print. I saw it while shopping at Zara the other day and had to grab it. Great for daytime dates or even a trip to the beach, this flirty number is a summer standout.

Front Knot Dress: ZARA (on SALE now)

Crossbody: Forever 21
