What are your plans for the Fourth of July? Spencer and I are headed to Newport Beach California tonight when he gets home from work and I get home from the ESCAPE Ladies’ Night Out at Station Park! I grew up (from seventh grade through junior year of high school) in California. One of my favorite memories of living there was when we went to the beach for Independence Day and watched the fireworks from the beach. It was incredible because we were surrounded by people and could see 4 different beaches letting off firework shows; one in each direction!
I told Spencer about this memory and he and I booked an AirBNB in Newport. We plan on beach hopping, one each day this weekend! He hasn’t been able to explore the Golden Coast quite like I have, and I am excited to show him around! The night I am most excited for is definitely the 4th of July so that we can experience the fireworks on the beach in every direction.
You better believe this is the outfit I will be wearing on the Fourth (when I am not wearing my swimsuit)! When I saw this shirt at Nordstrom Rack, I knew it was the holiday shirt I was looking for. Paired with the distressed denim skirt, the outfit feels complete. Well, almost, the hat is the third piece that brings the look full circle!

October 15, 2016I love this look of yours! You look just like a modern, updated, girl version of Tom Sawyer. Everything is paired up so well together you could match just about any pair of shoes to it.
