SUMMER IN THE CITY

The Broad, Los Angeles

It's always summer in Los Angeles (yes, we are totally spoiled.) And while the weather is generally lovely over here, we still have lots of "summer-only" events to look forward to and take advantage of from June-August. From outdoor movie screenings to concerts at the Hollywood Bowl, there are lots of reasons to head outdoors this season.

And maybe it's just me but I often find myself doing more after-work drinks and day adventures, too. Life is just more exciting in the summer! To keep up with the season of weekend escapes and dinners downtown, I have decided to add some brighter pieces to my rotation. This sunny maxi dress works well for picnics, weddings, outdoor dinners and even a day at the office.

GO-TO STYLE

Mar Vista, CA

My favorite summer combo? Dresses and sneakers. I know that I've talked about it before,  like here, but this pairing is (and likely always will be) a go-to of mine. Much like pretzels and peanut butter, it's an unlikely combination that works better than could ever be expected. This dress is Reformation and it has an incredible fit that's both comfy and figure-flattering. Can we really ask for much more than that?

I wore it this past weekend at my local Mar Vista Farmer's Market. I went to get flowers and some new recipe inspiration but, alas, I was only successful at getting the flowers (sunflowers to be specific).
