Headed Back To School

The only good part about having to go back to school after spring break,

I would say, is that it's finally time to break out all your spring clothes again!

I snapped this picture two seconds before I headed off to school {sorry for the fuzziness}

But I loved wearing a pretty light and white dress for the first time all season!

To get my back-to-school for spring look:

Striped Puff-Sleeve Tee

White Dress

Denim Leggings

Red Bow Flats

Red, White & Blue Bangles

{and my glasses are actually from the Men's department at Nordstroms, haha!}

{and the is binder optional}

What are you most excited to wear again this spring?

A Quick Browse

The best way to find unexpectedly darling things, is with the Browse button!

I dont usually use it, but every once in a while its fun to just have a little surprise with the click of a button!

My results were...

Lush Stripe Scoop Neck Tee {which I love in red}

Fire Zip Front Chiffon Tank

Love by Design Ruffle Cardigan

It's tons of fun! Try it!

For spring break this week, we have been road tripping all around California's beautiful Bay Area. We've visited UC Santa Barbara, San Francisco, San Luis, Monterey, Shell Beach, and made our final stop in my favorite place and hometown, Pleasanton!

{I'm pretty sure there is a fashion board here, so hello Pleasanton fashion board girls!}

I went to tea with my best friend, and I loved walking up and down the cute little main street! The weather was beautiful and the tea room was darling!

They are a bit hard to see but I loved her boots!

I had such a great time and was so sad to leave! Cant wait for summer!

What was the highlight of your spring break?

California Blues!

{but not really}

Just wanted to share, I went for blue nails this spring, like I said I would, and it is my favorite! I did some fancy glitter toes with a 'lapis lazuli' glitter from the craft store, and I love the shade. Its a perfect shade of ocean, yes yes.

Have you ever done glitter toes? They are perfect for summer. They last forever and look wonderful in the sun!

Have a fun Spring Break! I've been road-tripping across California with my family. Its been an adventure!

Swimming in Couture

Juicy is home to some of my favorite swimsuits ever!

And since my skin is too sensitive for my tummy to be exposed in a bikini, I'm always on the lookout for cute one pieces! Which luckily, Juicy seems to have mastered...!

I got my Juicy swimsuit a year or two ago for my birthday and it has been my favorite thing ever! Mine is a shimmery gold with ruffles around the waist, and I love it with all my heart!

But I still love to look at the new suits they get each year! Some of my favorites for this year are...

B each Ruffled Halter Swimdress

Beach 'Candy Bar' Bandeau One Piece

What is your favorite swimsuit?

I Dream of Dresses

Dresses have become one of my very most favorite things to wear this year! And I love wearing dresses in spring and summer because they are so cool in the hot weather and easy to wear over swimsuits at the beach!

Bold colors and prints are perfect for summer! Like this Roxy 'Hang Out' Print Halter Dress

and an extra detail like the exposed zipper on this Roxy 'Zip Me' Exposed Zip Dress gives a dress just one more reason to love it!

and of course, florals are classic for spring, and these dresses are darling!

Ruby Rox Sweetheart Dress

and for a casual and quick outfit the Frenchi Mock Two Piece Dress is the perfect!

Have fun with your spring shopping!
