Santa Monica, CA

This morning, my roommate and I woke up early and took a stroll down on Main Street in Santa Monica. Lined with cafes, cute little coffee shops, and yoga studios, it’s a perfect stop en route to my office. And speaking of offices, I work dangerously close to the 3rd Street Promenade. If you’ve never visited, it’s located just blocks from the ocean and has everything from high-end fashion stores, to boutiques and local farmer’s market stands. Needless to say, I often have to take a longer way to get to my car after work in order to avoid a daily shopping spree. But yesterday, I decided to pop into Madewell (just to browse) and ended up leaving with a whole bag of new clothes. In fact, this top and skirt are both new purchases. I love this lace-back sweater tee and maxi skirt because both pieces are versatile and work well to transition into the cooler days to come.
