La Piscina | Pool OOTD
Sometimes a getaway is exactly what you need when life seems to have been whizzing past you at warp speed. It’s easy to lose the beauty in moments when they all start to melt together.
A pool day is definitely in order; one with rays of sunshine and beads of sweat that are not only symbols of a physical detox, but a mental one as well. I’m all about this monochromatic swimsuit paired with a tropical, patterned kaftan on top. A vintage inspired pair of shades to protect my eyes, sunscreen to protect my face and water to keep me hydrated through the day are my other essentials.
What do you do to take a breather?

Travel Day
No matter how excited I am for a trip, packing is something I tend to procrastinate on. Somehow or another it ends up being the night before an early departure and I am scrambling to figure out where sandal number two is in the pair that I must take along with me.
Though the above scenario has happened more times than I’d like to admit, that isn’t the case for next week’s adventure; I’ve been day dreaming about what’s going in that suitcase for weeks. I’ve been picking up bits and pieces here and there to be at a Beyonce level of put together, while still being sensible for all day walking in the hot sun.
Staples? A comfortable pair of cotton pants, lace up sandals that don’t side around, basic tops to mix and match, and a hat for shade on demand.
So excited to share everything with you all!
Speak to you soon,

Simple Summer | May Playlist
Simplicity: a summer filled with fresh drinks accented by notes of citrus and mint, an easy sandal that goes with everything, effortless outfits that keep us feeling cool (in every sense of the phrase), evenings on porches with friends, sunglasses being the only eye makeup you need. That’s what I want this year to look like. I want it to be easy and focused on moments and people, rather than overly complicated with summer bucket lists that seem to replace spontaneity. I want to choose moments over planning. I want to make memories. I want simplicity.

I can hardly believe that May is about to make it’s grand entrance into 2014. It seems like yesterday we were just toasting to the new year and now it’s nearly summer. Crazy. But with a new month (and a new week) comes a new playlist! Discovered some really great new artists this week that I am excited to share with you guys. Enjoy!
Leaving for Spain 3 weeks from today. Words cannot express my excitement.
Speak to you all soon!
