Maxi'd Out

  Belt - F21 / Old Sandals - but similar also from Zara / Maxi - F21 / Hat - Urban Outfitters

Over the weekend I was lucky to enjoy spending time with friends whom I actually consider family for my best friends, big sisters bachelorette party. We went wine tasting near Angels Camp and had a really good time being girly girls in dresses and hats. (I apologize for re-wearing my zara sandals, originally I started the day in some really cute wedges but sometimes a girls gotta make a wardrobe change for comfort ya know?!) 

Enjoy your week!

My Favorite Shirt (ever)

I feel genuinely lucky to be living in the Bay Area about 98% of the time. I have access to super organic, locally grown produce, the beach when I want, the mountains when I want, a big city when I want.

But one of the things that I definitely do not take for granted are all the big name stores and boutiques that are in a 10 minute driving radius.

My favorite store on the planet is Aritzia (my boyfriend lovingly refers to the store as "Criteria" because from far away the A looks like a C in their font). There is nothing in that store I don't like but one of my favorite items that they make in a spectrum of colors is their TNA Pomona T-Shirt ($35). 

I have varieties of the shirts in a broad range of colors and filter through them weekly and even nightly because I never want to take them off. They are light enough to wear all summer, but warm enough to wear all winter.

If you order any, I promise you won't regret it.  It is a staple in my closet and I don't know if my wardrobe would function without it.

What's a staple in your closet? 

best,

Product of the week: The PERFECT summer body lotion

I tend to play favorites with my products. I use things religiously. My most recent and favorite body lotion has been Avalon Organics Lavender hand & body lotion. But on a recent trip to Target I took a chance on a new product. I've tried several of the organix brand shampoos and conditioners, but I smelled (and, okay.. sampled) some of this tea tree & peppermint lotion ($8.24) from the brand and seriously fell in love. I can definitely see myself using this after laying out in the sun or on a hot day to cool off and refresh my skin.

Not only does it feel great, but I am actually really loving how much my skin absorbs this stuff. My skin feels soft and moisturized but not greasy which is great because I hate greasy feeling products.

I totally 100% absolutely recommend this stuff. Grab a bottle for summer and thank me later ;]!

What are some of your favorite summertime splurges?

Slow Sunday

After a busy week at work, all I wanted to do on my day off was relax. The bf & I went to Vasona park in Los Gatos and relaxed near the lake and people watched. Normally we are super duper active but for whatever reason this weekend was beckoning me to just relax.

Normally, I try to do more elaborate outfit posts, but this was just not the weekend.. (Also it was very hot, 82° in the shade!)

Mine: Nordstrom Chambray / Tee / Zara Shoes (similar)  -- His: Shirt / Hat

Product Of The Week: Moroccan Oil Treatment

I love this stuff. I would buy Moroccan oil everything.. the smell alone is addicting.. But when it comes to this 'treatment', idk what it is about the formula but it actually a great product for moisturizing those dry ends.

My favorite thing about this product is actually how versatile it is since you can use it on both wet and dry hair and it doesn't leave you looking greasy at all.

Since I have what feels like the splittiest ends ever, I rub this stuff on the ends after showers or post-styling and it really helps soften and defrizz everything.

(The size pictures happens to be the travel size, but I will definitely be upgrading to the full size when this baby runs out)
