Sharing another vacation look with you on this gorgeous Monday. Although these photos were taken while I was in Florida, it was warm enough this weekend in Denver to spend a few hours by the pool (so crazy for March!). I'm gearing up for a crazy week at work this week as I prepare for another sunny getaway soon. Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Happy Monday!

Evening Sun & Sequins

Easy dress + leopard print clutch + platform slides






Dress: Express | Shoes: Splendid | Clutch: Clare V. | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Necklaces: Brian Gavin, Theresa Mink (similar here) | Bracelets: Ann Taylor, Vintage | Watch: Michael Kors | Lips: NARS 'Red Square'

I'm sharing another warm-weather look from last week today. I'm back at home now and already missing the salty air and perfect beach weather.

The dress I'm wearingwas another recent find at Express (currently on sale!). The combination of stretchy, wrinkle-proof jersey and the fun sequin detail makes for an easy transition between the beach and an evening out. For reference, I sized up to a small for a look that was still body-con, but not overly tight.

Hope you're having a lovely week!

Vacation Simple

White skinnies + Converse sneakers

Michael Kors Slim Runway Rose Gold + Rocksbox rings

Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Classic White

Casual-preppy vacation look
Hat: J.Crew | Tee: J.Crew 'Petite Knit Scoopneck Tee' | Long-Sleeved Tee (around waist): Topshop | Denim: 7FAM 'Slim Illusion Skinny' in 'Stark White' | Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor Low Sneakers | Bag: Longchamp | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Watch: Michael Kors | Rings: Wanderlust + Co. via Rocksbox

I've been loving the everyday-comfy pieces that have been trending lately--simple tees, jeans, and classic tennies are so easy to wear. To make sure the look is more 2015 than mom-circa-1992, I like to keep my tees and jeans fitted and proportional, and I add layers and on-trend accessories for extra interest.

Speaking of fitted tees, I was thrilled when J.Crew started making some of their knits available in petite sizes. The scoop-neck tee I'm wearing here is available in petite and regular sizing, and the petite makes such a difference on me. Usually, my favorite tees are a bit too long, and the armholes and shoulders aren't quite where they ought to be on me. With this one, the proportions look just right on my frame, and the length doesn't require me to fold or tuck it at the bottom. I'm hoping they make even more knit styles available in petite sizing in future collections.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Spring break

Sean and I escaped the snow and cold earlier this week and made our way down to sunny Florida for a quick getaway with family and friends. The warm weather and humid air have been a welcome change from last week's back-to-back snowstorms in Denver.

It has been so nice to test out some of my new spring/summer gear and to pull out some older warm-weather favorites from the back of my closet. I've been loving the J.Crew sandals I'm wearing in these photos--they're comfy, on-trend, and slim enough to fit easily in my carry-on. I found a couple easy day-to-night dresses like the one I'm wearing here at Express recently, so it's been simple to go from the beach to dinner without too much fuss (a must when trying to relax on vacation!). My Panama hat is last season's, but I noticed the same version is available again this spring. I love how light and easy it is to wear, but mine is starting to look a little worse for the wear after getting tons of use last summer.

Hope you are having a great week! Follow me on Instagram to see the latest from my travels.
