Perfect Pastels

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.

Life at the beach is like one long vacation. While it’s a quick commute to my busy work world, this sleepy town is definitely becoming my new oasis.

Refreshing and calm, ocean air and big beach waves have a way of reminding us that the world is so much bigger and more beautiful than we often remember. I love the constant reminder.

Between afternoon bike rides and naps in the sand, it’s an easy place to find happiness. Yesterday, I met up with a big group of neighbors and friends and we walked along Palisades Park to an outdoor brunch spot on Main Street. I chose to wear this comfy striped maxi from Forever 21 with a sunhat, tribal necklace and my new Lauren Hope bracelet. I love mixing standout jewelry pieces with a more basic canvas. It allows for the accessories to really shine. Because I knew we were going to be doing a bit of walking, I wore my comfy Kayla Sandals from Restricted Shoes. Perfect for an afternoon stroll, they pair well with just about everything in my summer wardrobe, adding a sunny burst of color to today’s look.

Oh and don’t forget! Restricted Shoes is offering you guys 25% off sitewide for all full-priced items. Just use the code WK25. Valid through July 31.

Hope you guys have a great Monday!

Light As A Feather

Shed those winter layers!

Warmer spring weather brings along fresh air, brighter days and light, breezy wardrobe pieces. This long feather-printed maxi dress from Ruche is just that. An updated take on classic daytime dress, this short-sleeved number is made unique with an open peekaboo back. Pair with flats for an afternoon soiree or tall wedges for night on the town, either way it’s sure to flatter. I have already been living in it the past couple of weeks. No matter the occasion-- drinks, casual Fridays, birthday parties, beach dates--I’ve found a way to make this dress work. It’s a chic throw-on-and-go piece and with such a bold print, it really requires very simple jewelry. I went with some delicates, gold rings and a cuff bracelet. Now the only thing I need is to find out how to get it in another color!
