long distance inspiration

Nothing says summer or music festival season like road trips do. There's just something about long roads, gas station snacks, and a free spirit that can be so refreshing. Of course, having the style to match that free spirit and desire for adventure is key. Obviously, turning to Free People for that effortless, hippie-chic, style is a no brainer.

Midweek Musings

1 and 2. I'm pretty sure I am the only person in the world who does not have a pair of Zara heeled sandals. This is not even an exaggeration.

3. I absolutely adore dream catchers. I need one for my bedroom, perhaps a t-shirt with one, and definitely this gorgeous one from Free People.

4. How perfect is this Topshop dress? Makes me want to go on a safari, or at least pair with my new Chuck Taylors for a perfect summer outfit.

5. This clutch could add just the right amount of edge to any outfit, day or night. Any if Nicole Richie's behind its coolness, who am I to do disagree?

6. I have been on the hunt for the perfect kimono, and I'm pretty sure I found it.

Summer Lust List

There are 52 days left until Summer; but who's counting?! Growing up in Southern California means always being ready for sunny days and warm nights because they really could come at any time of the year! Nonetheless, I still get that butterfly feeling knowing that endless hours of daylight, BBQs and pool parties, and crop tops and beachy hair are just around the corner! 
Here are some of my go-to Summer items and pieces I'm currently lusting after (I'm thinking those Karen Walker sunnies are next on my shopping list!). Am I missing any Summer essentials?

Stay tuned for more Summer-worthy items :)
