…These are a few of my favorite things!
The past few days have been spent doing a whooole lot of nothing. Well – I suppose there’s a lot of something in that nothing – so perhaps I should rephrase that. Here we go again.
The past few days have been spent on the beach, at the pool, laying in the sunshine, and walking on the beach. Tough, right?! 😉
Our family has been coming to Florida every year for over 50 years. I kid you not. My grandma, who was from Australia and has sunshine is in her bones, started the tradition when my dad and his siblings were younger. Every year the family rents a condo (usually a different place every year, but always on Fort Myers Beach!) and heads south to enjoy days in the sunshine.
One of my favorite things to do on this trip is to grab a glass of wine, head to the beach, and watch the sunset. It’s such a beautiful time of day — quiet and calm — and the views never disappoint. Especially after a full day in the sunshine where you end up the perfect mix of relaxed and happy, sunset beach views are some of my favorite moments of this trip.
Styling White Jeans + Other Outfit Details
On this particular night I wore my J.Crew white jeans, and my Madewell Cotton Courier Shirt (The Madewell shirt was a buy through the a Shopbop sale! I also got the Whisper Muscle Tank and the Short Sleeve Harley Tee. You can shop all these finds and more great Madewell picks via this link!) Going for a monochrome look is one of my favorite ways to style white pants, and after a winter filled with freezing weather, I was ready to embrace the ultimate warm weather ensemble.
For shoes, I went with my Dolce Vita Raffia Mules (Best Sellers on Bloomingdales – and for a good reason! They’re so cute on and perfect for warm weather.) I actually bought these way back in January and have been waiting to wear them ever since! They were worth the wait — super comfortable, and great quality.
For accessories, I layered my Gorjana Luca Necklace with the Starburst Coin Pendant Necklace – I’ve said this many time here before, but I seriously am obsessed with all things Gorjana, especially for layering! Their pieces are so delicate and pretty. On my wrist I had a delicate circle necklace, which is a recent staple of mine that I’ve been wearing daily, and a gold bangle that was a boutique find and I can’t find online, but how lovely is this option?!
My purse is the Dooney & Bourke Beacon Domed Satchel in Natural. Isn’t this the most amazing purse!? I can’t get over the quality. It’s ultra smooth leather, has contrasting white threaded highlights, and can hold a ton. I didn’t even need a diaper bag for our outing, which as other mothers can imagine, is the biggest win. It’s also easy to carry — you can throw it over your shoulders as a crossbody, or you can carry it as a top handle too! “Yes” all around.
