Gabe called me Monica (from Friends) all night because I probably paid way too much for these shoes and they've turned out to be quite painful. I keep telling him I'm still "breaking them in". He was nice enough to give me a piggy back ride home after dinner.

It felt like summer in Santa Monica on Saturday and I took full advantage of the amazing weather. I spent the day outside on the Santa Monica pier (more to come) and put on my new white linen top for dinner with Gabe in the evening. Throwing on an all-white outfit always brightens my mood and makes me feel joyous and summery. What's your favorite summertime outfit?

I love your outfit so much! It is so summery. That clutch is beautiful! I love a good leather handbag of some kind with a white outfit. I also love your ring. Big rings like that are my favorite right now! And the purple shade of your nail polish is so pretty!
Valerie you look incredible! what a gorgeous fresh look, and those shoes.... LOVE. I hope breaking them in works out :)

Great white outfit and perfect pair of cute shoes...You look great darling:)
I love maxi-dresses for summer...Kisses sweetie and enjoy your Tuesday!
That outfit is white done to utter perfection!
You look stunning!
I'm 100% with you on summer white and you look fabulous in this outfit - including (expensive/uncomfortable, but great looking) shoes. Isn't it great to have a Chandler to carry you home if boots/shoes get too uncomfortable?
Ur smile makes the outfit complete!
THAT'S an outfit i'd wear in a heartbeat!
*kiss kiss*

You look so pretty! I'm really loving this outfit, especially with the shoes!
Ahh - I love the all white look! You look so crisp and clean ;)
You look amazing as always!
I'm really hoping the shoes work out, I don't know if I can do the piggy backs all summer long.
Wow girl!!!! You look amazing! Love that white outfit and those SHOES!!!!!!
I love white on white. It instantly makes me think of summer. You look great!
Ah, you look gorgeous; AND...you have my shoes! Seriously, I was going to buy them from ShopBop, but they sold out of my side. I ended up buying the Rag & Bone Victoria Wedges in Nude - love!
I'd say my summertime outfit this year is lightweight rompers - I absolutely love the flow of their aesthetic...and they're so cool for warm weather!
By the way...what color nail polish is that? I'm dying to buy a similar shade! :)
All white looks great on you. I really like the direction you are going with the blog! Your outfit posts are so original and look great! This is one of my favorite posts yet.

Your gorgeous! I was in Santa Monica Sunday, just missed you :)
I am so in love with your shoes. You look gorgeous.

Love the outfit - you look so cute! Sorry about the shoes, we all own some like that!
Oh I am just loving this entire look! perfect whites for summer! I think you will be on Glamour.com again.... :)
that's the most perfect outfit i've EVER seen. between the white out, the shoes, and the nail polish.... well done my friend, well done.
Omg, Valerie...you look adorable! Too bad those shoes are so painful, cause they're so cute! I don't know that I really have a favorite Summer outfit, but I pretty much live in dresses when the mercury rises. White always makes me feel Summery though. ;)

Loving the bag and the shoes Val! Think band-aids or advil because the shoes look great!! :)
ps - market near oc. damn near claimed my life. i go to the santa monica one regularly and the folks i encountered would send the sm regulars for a spin!! hahahaha
Those shoes are amazing.. no pain, no game. xx
You look absolutely STUNNING, my dear! Which is of course nothing new. I am absolutely in love with those shoes, but I can imagine the pain -- definitely worth it!

What a chic, fresh outfit!
I must acquiesce and admit, finally, that those Rag and Bone numbers are kind of perfect shoes. I have two pair of nude heels, but both are EXTREME, four-inch platform heels that would be more appropriate for an MTV Movie Awards acceptance speech or a night out clubbing, neither of which are in my near future I'm afraid. I was literally looking for a perfect heel to wearing to my wrap/sangria party last night and opted for an archaic pair of orange wedge sandals that I think I've had since 1999. Anywhooooo, you look fantastic as always. xo
Gorgeous outfit especially the wedges!!
Great look! Love the pic of you looking back!Just Beautiful! Great "Granny" shoes :)
I really love the all white look! It's perfect for summer! It looks so crisp and fresh! You look stunning!
the shoes are fabuloso dear
oh my those shoes!!!!!!!!!!! Love xoxo
Too bad the shoes are evil, they look divine (I LOVE that your hubs called you Monica.. haha that's just like the episode!) Gorgeous outfit, you look beautiful!
You look so fresh and chic!! Love you in all white.

I love this all white outfit with the brown belt and clutch. Very summery / breezy / chic! Those shoes look awesome despite their uncomfortable-ness; guys don't realize what we go through for fashion.....
This outfit is adorable, it's definitely a look I'd rock! The shoes are probably my favorite part :)
You are so gorgeous! I love those pink shoes...super cute.
Oh I so wish I looked like that in white, somehow I tend to just disappear, probably do to the Scandinavian in me.
Love that nail polish color and those shoes! i hope they do get broken in and become more comfortable :)
Kisses,
Stephanie
You totally rock it! Love the clutch, shoes & ring too :)
super cute outfit! please send some of the summer to Seattle. We could use a little sunshine. :) xo -karrie
