I LOVE a good sweater. When shopping, it doesn't matter the time of year I will always gravitate toward sweaters. Since it is summer and no where near cold, I picked up a light white sweater for the mornings, nights and days at the beach where it just doesn't feel completely comfortable bearing just that light summer dress! Anthropologie makes some of my favorite sweaters of all time. They know how to make a sweater so cozy yet fashionable at the same time. I'm a sucker for them every time!

Also, the Anthropologie summer tag sale is going on now! You can pick up some of your favorite styles for up to 50% off! Happy shopping!

My husband and I spent the first day of summer at the annual Lavender Festival near our home. It was a beautiful day spent wondering the lavender fields, picking up fresh batches of lavender and drinking lavender green iced tea to keep cool in the scorching heat. I look forward to this event each year because it feels like the perfect way to ring in the first day of the summer. Also, lavender is one of my all time favorite smells, flower, color, etc. I load up on anything lavender I can get my hands on.  As it was the first day of summer it was also VERY hot (what's new Southern California) so I threw on my lightest dress and a pair of sandals to try and beat the heat. I LOVE casual dresses that can be thrown on with some neutral sandals for an effortlessly put together look. Light and breezy is the only way to go as it is only going to get hotter here on out!
