Summer is a time to look effortlessly cute! I tend to go for simple, clean lines, and layer a few things. California in the summer can be cool in the morning and evenings, with blue skies and endless hot days. When I know I’m going to be near a pool later in the day, I try to wear a cute suit under a romper or crisp gingham shorts.

Recently I’ve been into protecting my face from the sun (#wrinklesalready!) and Nordstrom’s has so many cute sun hats these day. I picked up a floppy black and white striped one for our Mexico trip last month and I think I wore it every day! With two more fun beach-y trips in the next few months, I have summer and vacation looks on the brain!

Also, these water bottles are just too cute. One of the admin at my school has this one, and it seems the perfect size to tuck into a straw bag or a tote while running errands.

How do you stay fresh during long blistering hot summer days? It’s already high 70’s here in the Bay Area!

Love,
