Floral Shirt Dress

Blazer: Banana Republic || Shirt dress: Gap (similar) || Bag: Longchamp || Shoes: Topshop || Earrings: Givenchy
Happy Thursday! I’m excited to share this look with you–mostly because it was so darn comfy. We had a full day of walking and touring and I definitely wanted to be comfortable. I’m basically in love with shirt dresses and how easy they are to dress up or down. Paired with a structured blazer or strappy flat sandals, the dress always stands out! Finally, can we discuss the best heels of all time? I’m always impressed by the quality and comfort of shoes I purchase from Topshop. Try a pair–you’ll soon agree with me. Hope you enjoy!

Stay: Marriott Newport Coast Villas

 
We recently returned from an early summer trip to California and the gorgeous Newport Coast Villas made it so much more relaxing. Thanks to my ultra-organized tendencies, we usually end up having a packed vacation schedule, which basically eliminates the relaxation potential. Husband hates it. I thought I’d try something new for me: to only schedule 1-2 activities per day and to take advantage of the resort amenities. I’m extremely glad I did! 
The villas are perfectly situated just off the Pacific Coast Highway between Newport Beach and Laguna Beach. The views are unparalleled and beach access is super easy. It took us five minutes to reach the water (yup, we totally timed it)!  There’s literally everything you could need on-site, but there is a Walgreen’s and Albertsons less than ten minutes away. Our favorite activities were exploring the three pools areas, challenging one another at the tennis courts and of course sitting around the fire pits in the evening. We couldn’t recommend it more–definitely give it a try!

Don’t you just love these colors? We seem to have had a very short spring this year (as usual), but I’m all for wearing spring colors as long as possible. I obviously love everything, but the jewelry is definitely my favorite part. Aren’t the bracelets delightful? I picked my top three faves, but there are a few other color options available. Welcome spring (and summer)!

The Favorite Summer Tee

Striped Pocket Tee: J. Crew || Vintage Cords: J. Crew || Aviators: Nordstrom || Watch: Michael Kors
Don’t you just love this tee? It looks so relaxed, yet put together all at the same time! It’s apparently extremely comfy and can be dressed up or down very easily. 
Now let’s talk sunglasses. Do you have something you always lose or break? Lip gloss? Other small accessories? Well, we have a bit of a problem keeping expensive sunglasses around…the $10 selection from The Rail at Nordstrom are ideal! You can easily keep up to date with the best styles without going over budget. The best part? Sitting on them or leaving them at a restaurant isn’t the end of the world. Love it.
Doesn’t he look handsome?
