Nothing screams summer like an airy white blouse, and I must admit that I’ve accumulated quite the collection. This little embroidered blouse from Heaven & Helfyre is my latest obsession, and I may or may not have worn it for two straight days last week. Don’t judge me, it’s fine. Paired with easy crochet shorts and the wedges I rarely take off these days, it’s pretty much hot weather perfection. Here’s hoping your week is off to a great start!

By now you’ve probably noticed that I’m a pretty big fan of matching sets. It’s just one of those trends that’s so easy, and when the matching set is about $50 for the whole shebang, it’s a serious no-brainer. While I’m a fan of the matchy look, I love that you can separate the pieces to create totally different looks from your wardrobe. It’s like a romper, but better. (Especially when you have to go to the restroom.) This set I scooped up between rounds of fish tacos and champagne at the brand new Nordstrom Rack opening in Laguna Niguel. (Seriously. I really can’t hate on a store opening that gives the people what they want. And the people want fish tacos and champs. But back to the clothing…) It’s lightweight enough for the summer months ahead, but for now, my go-to denim jacket that you’re probably tired of seeing is the perfect companion. Have you guys tested out the matchy-matchy look for yourselves?
A couple of weeks ago I finally got to check out the canals in Venice Beach, and I can’t believe I never made it there sooner. Not that it’s some huge attraction to see, but I lived in LA for five years and pretty much never knew this area existed. (What the?) It’s such a cute little section of Venice, and I so enjoyed taking a stroll around in my favorite onesie pajamas jumpsuit. This knit jumper is just about as soft as it gets without being actual pajamas, and by pairing it with a breezy kimono and my new favorite cushion-y wedges (seriously, so comfortable), I was pretty much in PJ heaven. Comfy? You betcha. Just rolled out of bed? I think not.
Hey, hey, gals! Today I’m teaming up with Kohl’s to bring you a little taste of (what else) florals for spring. Now I know what you’re thinking. “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” But hold the phone. Can you think of a more significant, fun, or just all around pretty print for spring? I think not. So say hello to your inner flower child and just go with me here.
With spring’s nicer weather and longer days, it seems like the weekday events, dinners, and after-work drinks with friends and colleagues kick into full swing. While I’m not complaining (Hi, happy hour!), it does help to have a few wardrobe staples lined up that easily transition from day to night, and tapered floral pants can easily do the trick. I picked these up recently at Kohl’s and was surprised by how versatile they are. For day, pair them with a lightweight blouse, denim jacket, and sandals or wedges (these are SO comfortable for all day wear), and once the sun goes down, switch to heels, an embellished tank, and leather jacket. So while you may have a few floral pieces in your current repertoire, if you don’t have a great pair of floral pants, get on it, girl! Happy shopping, and here’s hoping everyone is having a great week.
