There's something so fresh about an {almost} all white ensemble with a few pops of color here and there. Naturally, this Jerome Dreyfuss bag stole the show.  Its vibrant leopard stands out among the white and light blue, making this an ideal summer uniform that I could get used to. Keep the same head to toe look with light/white hues and play around with skirts, shorts, skorts, and some sneak peeks of vibrant colors. Ta-da!

Last weekend, while visiting Gabrielle in Santa Barbara, we  decided on an impromptu ladies brunch at this new boutique hotel she had mentioned called El Encanto. On our way there we drove past this bluff with such a breathtaking view of the ocean that we just had to stop and snap a few shots. It was a perfect 78 degrees and the color and style of this skirt paired with the offset of the neutral crochet top felt just right for the occasion. The skater style skirts and dresses have really become a staple in my wardrobe since they accentuate the waist yet are flattering and feminine. If you guys are ever in Santa Barbara, you absolutely must get drinks or have a bite at our new favorite spot! You can check out El Encanto here.

A tropical affair

There are a slew of reasons why I don't have a love affair with classic shorts.  The above pictured "skort" is reason number 1. I think the last time skorts were popular was probably the early 90's {OG 90210, anyone?}, and I'm not sure why they ever went out of style. Easy enough to move and sit freely but still chic and practical. Everything about the architectural lines, the flattering shape and the overall silhouette...they was such an instant winner, I purchased them in all 3 colors. Skorts are definitely making a comeback this season, and you should probably hop on the bandwagon. Just sayin...
