My Favorite Summer Scents

Summer Style Essentials

With summer officially here, I've been thinking a lot about my wardrobe - both about what I have and don't have, what I need and don't need - essentially all about what the essentials are for summer. Summer is my favorite for many reasons, but one of them being it is my favorite season to shop and dress for. The clothes I wear in summer are the best reflection of me at my happiest self, whether that be in denim cutoffs & a white tee, a bathing suit, or a flowy maxi dress.

Summer 2019 Bucket List

Happy first day of summer everyone!! As I sit here and write this post, I am coming to the realization that this day, June 21st, is honestly one of my favorite days of the year. Of course as the first day of summer this may seem obvious, I mean who doesn't love today, but I really think it makes my top three favorite days of the year. 

What I Wore in California

Instead of my usual pre-travel packing list post, I thought I would switch things up a bit and share what I actually wore on my trip. I still love a good packing list post, but thought it would be fun to see how the looks all came together after the fact! Truth be told, some pieces I pack for trips end up staying in my suitcase for whatever reason, so this post is a true reflection of what actually got worn!

This deemed particularly true this past trip out west! So much of what I packed sadly never got worn, not because I didn't want to, but more so because the weather was not quite what I had bargained for. As you will see in the photo's below, I often found myself wearing for all the layers and my jean jacket was never far. Needless to say it was chillier than anticipated! Keep that in mind if you ever find yourself traveling to the Bay Area - my biggest recommendation would be to pack pieces that mix & match easily and are good for layering!

So without further adieu, here is everything I wore out in California last month! Well almost everything... everything meaning the looks I was able to snap a pic in, enjoy! 

June Wishlist!

How are we already a week into June!? When did that happen! The past month has been a busy one, with a lot of fun travel (more to come on that!) After ten days out on the west coast, I am happy to be back in my favorite city and settling back into the swing of things! Summer is right around the corner and it is definitely starting to feel like that around here! I cannot wait.
