Beachy Keen

Anthropologie Crochet Dress

Crochet Beach Dress

Anthro Petites Ardere Cover-Up
Dress: Anthropologie (on sale!) | Shoes: J.Crew | Bag: Coach | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Necklaces: Brian Gavin, Theresa Mink (similar wishbone necklace here) | Bracelets: Ann Taylor, Vintage | Earrings: purchased in Turkey | Watch: Michael Kors | Lips: NARS "Dragon Girl"

I'm back at work today, but I still have pretty beach photos to share with you! I was definitely gazing longingly at the backdrop last night while simultaneously editing these and trying to prepare my cases for court this week.

The cover-up I'm wearing here was a surprising favorite from a recent Anthropologie order. It's 40% off its original price right now, and I was impressed with its quality and comfort. While it's perfect for the beach, I can see myself wearing it out and about, too. One thing to note: the lining stops just before the tassels at the bottom, and if you're much taller than me (4'11"), you might want to order it in regular instead of petite sizing if you want to wear it as a dress. On me, the lining is just long enough to avoid the possibility of a wardrobe malfunction.

Hope you have a great week!

I decided to take a little break from the camera and computer for the first few days of my beach vacation, so this post is coming to you a little belated. I've been spending some time at the shore with my family this week, and it has been so nice to unplug--except for my Kindle--and soak up a little sun. Next week will be crazy when I return to work, so I'm trying to savor the peace and quiet while I can!

Happy Friday!

A Pop of Yellow

Yellow shorts + black & white dots

Mansur Gavriel Mini Bucket Bag

Banana Republic Dot Sleeveless Blouse
Top: Banana Republic | Shorts: Crewcuts (on sale, also available in women's sizing) | Shoes: Steve Madden (similar here on sale) | Bag: Mansur Gavriel (mine is the Mini Bucket--if their site is out of stock, with some luck, you may be able to pre-order one via Steven Alan, Bergdorf's, or Barney's) | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Necklaces: Brian Gavin, Teresa Mink, Banana Republic | Bracelets: Ann Taylor, H&M c/o | Earrings: purchased in Turkey | Watch: Michael Kors

I love when I find pieces like this Banana Republic blouse that transition easily between work and casual looks. Last week, I wore it with a black pencil skirt and coral blazer, and over the weekend, I paired it with these sunny yellow shorts for a casual brunch date at Lucile's Creole Cafe (a favorite Denver brunch spot).

Hope you're having a great week!
