Summer Gem + Linkup







At the end the of the day, I will forever be a California girl. And as we get closer and closer to those extra toasty days, my craving to explore more of this great state heightens. The best way to see things is a road trip of course. One of my favorite drives is up the coast to Santa Barbara and wine country. But the more and more we (boyfriend and I) visit the more we are eager to find those hidden gems. We ended up stopping by La Purisima Mission in Lompoc.  Even thought it should be a little warmer, it's still cool (okay cold if you're me) and gives me the opportunity to bring some layers-my moto jacket and cozy scarf. This neutral scarf is from Garnet Hill and super soft. The kind you want to wrap yourself in on a long drive or even a plane ride. It's definitely a splurge, but the quality and neutral colors make it a staple (one this cold girl will wear all year long). Do you have any special activities you do during the Summer months?

Let's flashback to last year's look here. If there's one thing I don't regret buying, it's those white jeans. And how can I get those locks to look that great everyday?
Thanks so much for linking up with us! We hope you enjoy linking up with us as much as we love seeing your latest posts!
