I am currently on a plane heading to Martha's Vineyard with friends. It's quite a journey from Los Angeles, since we have to fly to New York first, before the Vineyard. It will take us 24 hours of travel (including the layover) before we arrive, but it's worth every minute. I can't wait to breath in that island air.

Happy Monday! This trip is flying by so fast and I am trying to take in every minute. Luckily the clouds have disappeared just long enough for a beach day and we are taking full advantage. A friend is visiting us for a few days and we've had so much fun showing him this wonderful island. Tonight we are taking him to our favorite Vineyard restaurant, State RoadHow was your weekend? 

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Happy 4th of July! Even though we're not in Martha's Vineyard for the 4th this year, I'm still dreaming about my favorite island. These photos scream summer to me. They were taken on this very day, two years ago at Lucy Vincent beach. I can practically smell the sea air, can't you? We are headed there in only two weeks, so I can't really complain. 
What are you doing to celebrate today? I'm gearing up for tonight's Dodgers game with friends and believe it or not it's my first baseball game. I'm excited!

Happy Monday! This weekend really couldn't have been better- I got to be part of a really fun photo shoot {which I'll be sharing more on later}, hang with my friend in town from New York, met some new and interesting people and even treated myself to a Thai massage. To cure the Monday blues, a few friends and I are breaking out an old tradition tonight and heading to taco night at Malo. I'm so ready to enjoy my favorite habanero salsa and chewy chips. 

SWEET. SWEETER. SWEETEST.

Sweet.  Insight Rose Bikini $86.98
Sweeter. Plum Bell Tanksuit $98
Sweetest. Mix & Match High Waisted Bikini $55.86

How was your weekend? I got to hang at my friend's pool yesterday, so i've got swimsuits on the brain. I haven't bought a new suit in three years, so I am feeling like it's time. I usually stick to a one piece, but i've been wanting a high waisted bikini. They are not always flattering, but this one above is cute and inexpensive. I just might have to give it a try. 

SWEET STYLE. BEACH DAY

While in Martha's Vineyard, the weather teetered between cloudy and humid and warm and perfect. On those warm and perfect days we headed to Lucy Vincent beach. I enjoyed every minute of lounging under an umbrella, digging my feet in the sand and listening to the waves crash. I also couldn't put down Bossypants which turned out to be the perfect beach read. I could not stop laughing to myself, which is always a good sign. I often found James looking over at me concerned I may have lost my mind. No, just Bossypants...

BEACHY STYLE

I'm interrupting regularly scheduled "my sweetest day" to take some time and draw some new city maps. Oh yeah, that means there might be a sweet day coming to your fine city. Until then, I thought I would put together a little beach inspired, design round-up. Can you tell I've got summer on the brain? This delightfully perfect weather we've been having has got me dreaming of a beach house, or at least decorating my house to look like one...
