Frye boots, Anthropologie cross body bag, belt and bracelets, H&M shirt dress, Ray-Ban Aviators, gifted key necklace
Gabe and I had a fabulous long weekend, filled with friends, bike rides on the beach, fireworks, dinners, mid-day strolls, and baking (I made my browned butter rice krispie treats as seen here). These pictures were taken on our walk to dinner on Saturday. The sun was shining, the weather was perfect (around 70 degrees) and we finally felt like summer had arrived. I often feel that the 4th of July is the unofficial beginning of "summer weather" in Southern California and I'm hoping this year is no exception. I'm looking forward to a warm season filled with many outdoor activities such as bike riding, rollerblading, surfing, beach outings, and lazy days in the sun (with SPF, of course). What do you love most about summer?

You look great. I love the yellow and pink combination. I have a yellow belt on with a blue dress in my post. Of course i love the cross body bag from anthro!!!!
Fabulous as usual. I really love those boots.
Ah, summer. Love hot days at the beach and afternoons that turn into warm evenings that go on forever and you stay outside in the dark. I miss summer. Hope you had a great 4 July!
Beautiful pics - love your outfit! I love being able to spend the day by the pool with good weather, good friends and family, and my iPod playing. Doesn't get much better than that! :)
I love this outfit! Pink looks great on you and those Frye boots are fabulous. I love the idea of wearing boots with cute summer outfits. It definitely mixes it up from wearing typical flat sandals or wedges. So perfect!
xo,
Lovely B.
Looking super gorgeous as always abbes. That pink colour really suits you. Much love xxxx
It seems like summer is taking its time getting here this year. The rice krispie treats were a hit and you look gorgeous as always!
Awww...you are so pretty. Like Naina, I love the yellow and pink combination, it is very cute. Summer time in California always consisted of going down to Marine World when I was a kid, I was so fascinated by the whales and dolphins and other marine life they had there. Then during my teenage years it was basically road trips with friends and heading down to Santa Cruz beach. I love summer!
