Boho Vibes with Green Dragon + Linkup

It's hard to believe that Summer is coming to an end. I feel like I haven't squeezed in enough trips to the beach or checked off everything I've mentally put on my Summer list.  But the next best thing is a good outfit that makes you feel like you're ready to put your toes in the sand. Okay, it also makes me want to go on a tropical vacation. But let's focus on the dress. The print and light fabric make it great to just toss on and go. And if you know me, I always need my trusty jean jacket because 1. I'm always cold and 2. it completes any outfit. 

Now let's flashback to last years look here. It's funny but this top still continues to be a big hit whenever I do wear it. Maybe it's less likely I will be dressed in a print...

Maybe it's (sadly) the end of summer that has me reaching for maxi dresses, but when I saw this one at my favorite local boutique I snatched it up asap. It was the last one and in my size-score! They seriously the cutest things and sadly don't have an online shop. But I always pop in every time I get my haircut. Oh, yeah, I got a little trim. It was so hot that same day and we ended up going to a Dodger game. And well, what does one wear to a baseball game? Umm her new maxi dress! A little overdressed, but I was comfortable and kinda wearing Dodger colors;)

Do you ever walk into a store, immediately see a piece, and just know this is something that you didn't even know you needed in your life? This blue maxi dress from H&M did it for me! It's like a blank canvas that can be styled a million ways. And because it's H&M it has a price that you just can't beat. Let's just say it's $17.95 well spent. A plain maxi dress can easily become a Summer staple when you take in upcoming travel plans-great travel outfit and easy to pack. While I have been feeling very boho lately, adding this kimono seemed so right. Add my favorite necklace and done!

Hope you had a great weekend! xo

Spring Time Maxi

how to style a maxi dress






I mentioned my love for Free People yesterday and not realizing it but this maxi is another piece from
them. Unfortunately, it's from last year which just shows you a little taste of how I'm drawn to FP year after year. Because of the neckline it can make it hard to wear alone if your not having Summer weather but it seemed like the perfect dress to channel my love for some boho vibes (it was Coachella weekend). So my trusty chambray fixed that right up! Oh and let's talk about the killer views. Any opportunity I get to go downtown, I'm pretty much there. This was on the roof of the Unique Space where my crazy talented friend Marissa has a studio. She does a monthly beer tasting and guys I'm not really a fan of beer but I am a fan of downtown and Marissa and Free People.

Happy Tuesday! xo

 Lately, I've been trying really hard to make use of my closet and I've been getting reacquainted with pieces I've forgotten about. This dress is one of those pieces that I've fallen back in love with.  It makes me want to head to some topical location, but until that happens pairing it with a jean jacket is a great way to wear it. I'm not ruling out that vacay though. Anyone want to plan a beach getaway with me?
