Beach Daze

The summer is so close I can feel it in the air! 

 For me the summer is all about getting to that beach! 

The salt air,and cool breeze put my mind at ease after a long work week. 

I was lucky to get to visit Huntington Beach this paste September. 

I loved the surf culture at Huntington beach! 

It was so inspiring!

 While I was there I decided to put together a look inspired by the surf culture at Huntington beach.

 I happened to pack a neon green scarf crop top.

 It has a gorgeous graphic Hawaiian floral print,that was perfect for his occasion!

 I found these beautiful white rayon pants to wear with the top. 

These pants are kind of like Harem pants. 

They have a loose layer of fabric that drapes so beautifully when the wind is blowing. 

I got so many compliments on this look! 

I didn't think anybody would notice that day,but they did. 

All that was missing that day was for me to grab a surf board and go for a swim in the ocean. 

Huntington beach was by far one of my most favorite beaches I visited in California. 

I'm looking forward to going back!

Beach Waves

There are certain places where we go to think about life..

 For me its the beach.. 

Listening to the sounds of the crashing waves and smelling the salt air puts my mind at ease… 

I love to hang by the beach and read books, and sometimes jot a few thoughts down in my diary…

I don't think I could ever live without the beach!'

I found this amazing spot in Monterey,California..

Its an incredible rock beach with very scenic views. 

Its the true symbol of summer,gorgeous weather, and romance. 

Luckily I have a few cute outfits to throw on for these beach Excursions…

This Jumpsuit was quite a find! Its slouchy on top but flares out to gorgeous palazzo pants!! 

Its the ultimate beach jumpsuit.

 I put it on over my bikini…

 Its all elastic so you simply just slip it on and slip it off. 

Its the perfect color too!

The jumpsuit is this sandy brown and black butterfly wing print.

Palazzo pants are great for long walks barefoot on the beach.

When the wind hits the pants are soft and loose.

The winter is such a bummer.

I hope it goes fast so I can be back on this beach enjoying sunsets and life.

On my trip to California San Francisco was an amazing city!!!  

Haight Ashbury was the highlight of my San Francisco trip.

 At Haight Ashbury there was so much culture from the music scene of the 1960s.

 It inspired me to put this Flower power inspired look together…

This boho dress from Shabbybabe is a true patchwork hippie dress. 

The multicolor floral print is incredible! 

The purple ruffle and bodice both match so perfectly!

 I wore this dress all throughout San Francisco on my nights out in the city. 

I received so many compliments on it. 

A denim jacket tones down this dress a notch if your looking for a more casual look. 

To complete this outfit I wore my tan Jeffrey Campbell boots from Free People with it. 

I have 2 pairs of these boots because they match every dress so well! 

The boots were well worth the investment. 

I find that its hard to find a nice summer boot to put with midi dresses in the summer. 

If your looking for that perfect boot, I suggest these Jeffrey Campbell ones..

I'm definitely going to miss San Francisco. Never have I seen so many gorgeous coastlines and bridges.

The San Francisco hills were insane! I can't wait to visit again soon!

How I loved Monterey, California! 

Its probably one of the most scenic and beautiful spots to visit in all of California. 

I was very lucky to have experienced it for a few days.

 The Monterey beaches were so gorgeous it was like being on a movie set!

I was only there for 4 days but I think I'd like to go back for a week or 2.

While I was in Monterey,

I stopped along the 17 mile drive to shoot a few gorgeous printed vintage dresses.

This peasant dress from Shabbybabe has pretty puff sleeves and high slits on each side. 

I'd say its more of a beach dress than a regular day dress.

 It would make a gorgeous beach cover up to throw on over a bikini!

 I love the print! Its a jungle theme print. 

It has palm trees,elephants, and tigers!!

 When I go to the beach I can never be without a few accessories so, 

I bought this pair of Chacos Sandals over the summer.

 I love them! 

Their fashioned of 100% real leather,

 and I've never worn a sandal so comfortable in my life! 

They were ideal for walking around on the rocky terrain.

 I always put on a vintage leather belt with a boho dress like this! 

Concho belts are truly my favorite accessory. 

I just bought this Choker during the summer. 

Its a tribal themed piece from one of my favorite online jewelry stores,"Child of Wild".

I said to myself this summer I needed "Vitamin Sea" 

and I definitely got a huge dose of it while in California!
