Santa Monica Girl

Wyatt and I recently booked a much needed trip to Los Angeles where we got to visit our future wedding venue, dip our toes into the ocean and eat lots of delicious seafood. I got about a week of vacation time at the last minute so I begged and begged Wyatt to go to California. His initial response was no but I didn’t take no for an answer. He finally agreed to go when I mentioned how important it is for our sanity to step away from our everyday work lives and focus on us. It was, no joke, one of my favorite trips ever. We made every single moment memorable. That’s why I love doing life with him.

When I was a California girl for just a few days, I made sure to wear what all of favorite California bloggers were wearing: Camel colored pieces and denim midi-skirts. These key items are all the rage right now, and in my opinion, will never go out of style.

I can’t wait to go back in April to marry the man of my dreams!

With love,

Conversationalist Button-down

This top is a conversation starter, that’s for sure. I’ve loved on this button-down for the past month-making sure that I wear it a thousand times before it goes out of season. The funny thing is, I don’t ski or snowboard one bit, but I love the print. Since I let go of statement prints a long time ago, I’m hesitant when I purchase anything too wild or “young” but this top is perfect for me. It’s subtle enough, it’s unique enough and most importantly- it’s comfy enough. I love layering it underneath solid sweatshirts or dresses or just with my favorite pair of jeans. “That skier shirt” will go down as my all-time favorite holiday piece.

Xoxo,
