Santa Monica Community Gardens

This fall, yellow is in! From rich shades of lemon and banana to mustard golds and pretty canary hues, this warm color is showing up in a big way. I recently picked up this sunny feather-printed shift dress and paired it with black and gold accents. To finish off the look, I tied on a studded skinny belt, which added a nice little structure and contrast. What do you guys think? Can we take this summer shade into the colder months? You know my vote! I’ve included a few more of my favorite yellow pieces at the end of this post.

I’ve always admired the Santa Monica Community gardens from afar. A little lush piece of life centered in the middle of bustling Main Street, Santa Monica. It’s a quick escape from what has become our dry and dusty reality. A gardener was nice enough to let us inside the fenced-in gardens and so we explored each individual plot. A true oasis, it was filled with plants and flowers but also butterflies! They were everywhere and I could have stayed there all day.
