Santa Monica Brunch Vibes

OMG, GUYS.

I’m heading off to Los Angeles tomorrow morning for Spring Break… so pumped rn, I don’t really even know what to do with myself.

I was going through these images today, & the FIRST thing I thought was WOAH, THIS IS THE PERFECT SANTA MONICA BRUNCH OUTFIT. AKA: This would be perfect for this Saturday’s plans.

For those of you who don’t know, I am obsessed with Los Angeles. I had the opportunity to live there for 8 months last year ( while I was doing an internship! ) & I fell head-over-heels for that city.

My roommate & I had our Santa Monica brunching routine every Saturday/Sunday. We would go find a new place to brunch in either Venice or Santa Monica, & then hop around various bars/hangout spots with our friends. TOTALLY took that whole thing for granted when I was out there.

UGH, I miss my Santa Monica Saturdays.

I’m so excited to share my old ( but also soon-to-be NEW ) LA life with my friends from Texas!

We rented an AirBnb in my old apartment complex ( LOL– this was kind of a coincidence ) &, needless to say, I’ve created the perfect itinerary for our time in LA. Mostly, I’m going to drag them to every place on my LA Guide.

Alright, so this OUTFIT.

Would you believe me if I told you that is look ( HEAD to TOE ) is from Zappos.com?

Every. Single. Thing.

I’ve become a HUGE fan of shopping on Zappos for pieces by some of my favorite women’s contemporary designer brands.

Zappos sells brands like For Love & Lemons ( dying over this top & skirt set, and this midi dress right now ), and StyleStalker ( currently have this pastel lace dress, this sexy mini dress, & this insta-famous WINTOUR tee in my cart… whoops ).

This site just has SO much to choose from, checking out is quick & painless, shipping is free & fast, and they have a 365-day return policy.

Y’all know I’m always talking about how I only online shop when the entire process is easy. Most importantly: I feel less pressure getting my size right or choosing the perfect item when I know the return process is made for LAZY people, like me.

Don’t make me go out of my way to return or exchange. I just…. I can’t.

SHOP THE LOOK:
Dress | Shoes | Hat | Bag | Shades

Like I said, this look is so Santa Monica weekend vibey.

The casual-&-effortlessly-sexy maxi dress. The boho sandals & little cross body. The sun-blocking wide-brimmed hat with some classic shades.

I mean…. really. COME ON. So cute.

Definitely be sure to follow my adventures &/or send my some LA recommendations on Instagram & snap ( you can now scan my code from my side bar! >>>>> )!

Like I’ve said a gazzillion times, I LOVE IT WHEN Y’ALL SNAP ME!

Talk soon. xx
