FRENCH CONNECTION FLORIDA BLOOM LAYERED SKIRT (ON SALE +30% OFF AND FREE SHIPPING) // BAUBLEBAR X NORDSTROM FIRECRACKER EARRINGS C/O //  BAUBLEBAR NAILING IT CUFF // OLD NAVY SEQUIN TEE  (SIMILAR HERE AND LOVE THIS CROPPED VERSION HERE)// SOLE SOCIETY KEA WEDGES // COLE HAAN SUNGLASSES (SIMILAR  HERE) // BUMBLE AND BUMBLE SURF SPRAY

Believe it or not the last time I wore this skirt (see here) was this Spring! How time flies, is it really almost mid-July?! This is probably a little fancier than necessary for grilling in the backyard but I’ve never been one to care about being “over-dressed.” I’m kind of having a thing with statement jewelry lately (exhibit a, b, c) because it’s such an easy way to give any outfit that extra little something special. Jeans and sneakers or a skirt and heels, a pair of statement earrings or a statement necklace goes a long way. On a slightly different note, I’ve been feeling rather stressed lately about a variety of things, so I’ve made an effort to go for a swim in the ocean every day. There’s just something about swimming in salt water that is so invigorating. It literally washes away all my stress and anxiety and leaves me feeling happy and whole. So not to get all personal and weird on you guys but honestly if you’re lucky enough to live near the ocean I highly suggest some daily swim therapy, it really works wonders. And if you’re not near the ocean a pool will do just fine. Speaking of swimming, I plan on spending the majority of my weekend doing just that. Hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. xx
