After spending this past weekend out in the middle of the desert in Nevada, I came hope with a whole new appreciation for my home state. I spent the weekend at Night in the Country which is a weekend-long music festival full of camping, sunshine, music and drinks. It was my first time attending and I loved every minute of it. Even though we had to go days without showering, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I came home on Sunday morning to find this beautiful necklace in my mailbox... just one more thing to remind me about how much I love this place.

Happy Monday! I caught an early, early flight home this morning and am already wishing I was back on the beach soaking up the sun. Nothing is better than a weekend getaway by the water. Days of air-dried hair, throwing on a hat and some light makeup are my favorite. I'm already looking forward to another trip to California soon.

Pineapple Print

Top: Target love this one  Skirt: Target now only $15!  Shoes: Sam Edelman  Clutch: J.Crew  Bracelets: flea market and Macy's similar here  Necklace: Stella and Dot  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Lately I have been all about the pineapple prints I have seen on others and finally took the plunge when I picked up this tank a few weeks ago at Target. I wasn't sure how it would fit (confession: I hate trying on clothes) but have grown to love it more and more every time I wear it. I have worn it at least three times in the past week and was so excited to pair it with a maxi for a night out with my girls at the movies. It seems to be perfect for just about every occasion lately-- whether I pair it with shorts, a skirt or over a bathing suit for a day by the water.

Hope you had a great long weekend!

Linkin' up with Elena today!

Summer Maxi

Top: H&M  Jacket: Levi's  Skirt: Bobeau  Bag: Kate Spade  Shoes: Jessica Simpson  Watch: Michael Kors  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Bracelet: Stella and Dot  Necklace: J.Crew other colors available

I think I was channeling my innner summer girl when I pulled this outfit together. The combination of the red and white stripes plus the blue in the jacket just screams 4th of July. I can't get enough of the bold colors and the flowy maxi dress together. This is an outfit that has me dreaming of long days at the beach and cookouts with friends.

Maxi Dress as a Skirt

Dress: Banana Republic Similar Style  Tank: Banana Republic  Top: Banana Republic  Shoes: Marc Fisher  Watch: Michael Kors  Bracelet: Stella and Dot

Today I decided to try something new: wear a maxi dress as a skirt. I have recently seen some great looks with maxi skirts and wanted to recreate them. Because I don't own a maxi skirt, this was my next best option. I love how comfortable maxi dresses are so finding a new way to style it was great-- they are so versatile. I decide to pair it with a simple tank and a chambray top to make it office appropriate. I would have liked to wear this with a bubble necklace but my order is still not here. Oh well, I still love the way this turned out. I can't wait to wear this dress again!
