Changes

It's already August, and I don't know where the year has gone! 2013 is flying by, and life is moving on so quickly. There are lots of big changes coming my way in the next few months, and I'm hoping that I can face them with a strong mind and heart.  

I love this wrap blouse from Charlotte Russe--and not just because of the polka dots! It's comfortable and flowy, and I can dress it up with a fitted blazer or wear it casual with a colorful and loose cardigan! I'm excited to wear it with boots and scarf in the fall too. There's only about a month of summer left, so I'm savoring the last few days of warm weather before scarves and sweaters start replacing my sandals and t-shirts!

Polka Dot Pants

H&M white blouse and sunglasses, Gap cropped polkadot skinnies, Target sandals, Michael Kors watch

You guys know I love colored pants. And polka dots. So finding these peach polka dot pants (try saying that five times fast) was the best thing that happened to me last week. I've already worn them twice, and I am so excited to wear them for the rest of the summer. These photos are actually from July 4th weekend. We spent a few days barbecuing and relaxing in Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara with friends and food, two of my favorite things. 

On another happy note, I hit 100 "likes" on my Polka Dots and Purses Facebook Page today! I wanted to give all my readers a special thanks for all your support and encouragement this far! I couldn't do it without you guys, so thank you SO much :)

Happy Friday friends, and hope you have a good weekend!  

Weekend Wear

Kohl's polka dot chambray, H&M white jeans and sunglasses, Old Navy flats, Forever 21 earrings, Michael Kors white watch

I wore this outfit last week for a day of full of shopping, eating, and movies. I'm pretty sure it was a Tuesday, but I woke up thinking it was a weekend. I even had brunch on said Tuesday afternoon. The days all seem to blend together in the summer, and every day feels like Saturday, so why not dress (and eat) like it? White pants, breezy button downs, and colorful flats have been my go-to weekend wear this summer. Or everyday wear, I guess, since I apparently can't tell the difference between Tuesdays and Saturdays anymore. 

On a side note, this chambray is my new favorite top and it matches with just about everything! I have been looking for the perfect chambray for as long as I can remember. When I found this one with tiny white dots--well, you know me and polka dots-- it had to come home with me. 

Happy Monday everyone! Is it the weekend yet??

San Diego: Day 1

Forever 21 striped shirt and trench coat, Target white skinnies, Charlotte Russe fedora, Michael Kors tote and watch

Last weekend, my friends and I made a trip down to San Diego for the weekend. With good friends, delicious food, and barely any sleep, it was such a fun way to start off our long-awaited spring break. Since I knew we would be in the car and walking around a lot, I opted for a comfortable and classic outfit for the day. There is something about stripes and a trench coat that give off an effortlessly chic vibe. Plus this black tote is the perfect size for carrying some snacks and a water bottle for the drive and an extra pair of shoes for exploring the cliffs. 

The first thing we did was eat, of course. We headed down to Old Town San Diego to Cafe Coyote and enjoyed some authentic Mexican food. As you can see below, I clearly was hungry. (But real talk, when am I not hungry?) After that we headed up to the cliffs to enjoy a peaceful moment with the sunset and take fun group pictures. It was a gorgeous view, and I can't wait to come back again soon!

Keep a look out for pictures from day 2!
