How sweet is this outfit? I always find myself reaching for lace tops and dresses in the summertime. I brought this top with me to New Orleans and wore it with loose, khaki shorts, but forgot to document the outfit. I liked this H&M top so much that I wanted to shoot it for the blog, so this time I went with a high waisted, light wash, denim, circle skirt. I’ve actually had this skirt for years and haven’t worn it in a very long time, and this look inspired me to find more cute ways to wear it. 

When I wear short skirts, I always feel like I need a little bit of lift to elongate my legs and make them look a little slimmer. Enter: the Zara stacked, lace-up heels that I can’t seem to take off!  I think I need to do a whole post about lace-up shoes… 

This purse I got a few years ago at a vintage store (called Vintage, very original) in Palm Desert. I always feel drawn to old lady prints and tapestries, hence why I had to have this printed fabric bag with tassels. I decided to go for an overall vintage feel with this outfit, which I completed with old school Tom Ford sunglasses. 

One of my favorite parts about blogging has been finding cool places and backdrops to shoot at. I’ve gotten to explore a lot of places I’ve wanted to see around the city, including this location – Shakespeare’s bridge in Silver Lake. I love the little white towers and all of the pretty flowers. Magical! Shop my outfit below!
