ENDLESS SUMMER SALES

Venice, CA

The best part about this time of year (besides the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) and the amazing weather? A whole pile of other sales! I am heading on vacation in a couple of weeks and it's the perfect time to stock up on all the summer must-haves you've been eyeing. These shorts? Got them at Urban Outfitters for my July 4th holiday at full price. Now they are on sale at Urban Outfitters (along with a whole pile of other pieces). I broke down all the best steals of the weekend. 

Happy shopping (and sun-seeking!)

TURN IT UP

Westwood, CA

Dressing for date night can be hard. All that pressure of wanting to WOW with your outfit, partnered with having no idea where you're going can be pretty stressful, amiright? The good news is that it's summer. And to me, that means the dress-code rules go out the window a bit. Anything goes!  Sneakers with a fitted dress, a daytime romper for dinner or a pair of sunnies and jeans for an after work meet-up, just embrace the warm weather and toss the rules out to sea!  

This off-the-shoulder number from NEWCHIC is a fun alternative to the classic LBD. I actually wore it to a work event the other night because it's a bit too dressy for date night over here in Venice beach, but I will probably pack it for my upcoming tropical vacation! Ahhh can't it always be summer?

A KEEPER

Cape Cod, MA

Ok, we’ve all been there, we've ordered that trendy swimsuit that we LOVE but quickly grow tired of after just a few months. You know, those over-priced, neon colored, never-gonna-wear-next-year styles? I am a sucker for those. And while it's always fun to try on the flavor of the year, I am now trying to grab pieces that are good investments—meaning they won’t feel old after just one season.

This one-piece from Solid & Striped is a true classic. With a 1950's feel, high-waist and backside, it manages to pull off a look that's both timeless and totally flattering. It's a swimsuit that would be perfect for a trip to Cape Cod (where I wore it here), Europe and even your neighbors pool party. It's safe to say this one won't be going out of style anytime soon. FINALLY! I found a keeper.
