| WELCOME, SUMMER? |

i don't want to brag to my friends in the mid-west, or east coast-- especially my new englander's who are just bombarded with snow but this week is like summer here in san diego.  it's been 80 degrees on the coast so i busted out some summer-like fashion and plan on going to the beach later this week.  i hope you are all having a great week so far. xx

| birkenstock love |

it took me a second to warm back up to the birksenstock trend and now that i am way into them it's been nearly impossible to find my size!  these sandals are perfect for errands around town, or to pull off a full on fashionista look.   loving lucky's  'confession we're way too obsessed with birkenstocks' because i think i just fell into that category.

| summer romper |

happy monday!  hope you all had an amazing july 4th weekend.  it was so hot by the beach that the weekend ended up being a lazy beached filled, kindle reading, cocktail drinking sorta daze.  if you follow me on instagram you saw me wearing this guess romper (which btw is on sale!) the other day.  it is so comfy and casual and easy to feel put together when the outfit is so simple.  i loved wearing it during the hot day because it was light and airy.  i've been buying a lot of rompers lately and think they are a great staple to add to your summer wardrobe!

| 4th at the beach |

i love the forth of july: i don't like to choose a favorite holiday but i've got to say, this holiday sits right at the top of my list.  living less than a mile from the beach makes our forth plans easy: beach & bbq.  it's definitely a priority for me to wear patriotic colors on the forth and there are tons of options to create the perfect red white and blue look this year.  a casual comfy dress like these dresses from jcrew (1, 2, 3, 4) were exactly what i was looking for to throw on and be comfy but still look put together.  i hope you all have a great forth of july- be safe and wear your sunscreen. xxoo
