INTO THE BLUE

Avid explorers, I don't think there is anything Emil and I enjoy quite as much as our little road trips! For the most part, whenever we feel like hitting the road, we have a destination in mind, but every once in a while, we simply let the road decide for us. The latter is definitely a more adventurous option, yet so far, we haven't been disappointed and always ended up somewhere amazing! 

This time around, the road took us to Laguna Beach. Sure, we've been to Laguna before, but for some reason we always ended up in the same places, so this time around, we vowed to ignore the familiar routs and went exploring instead! Well, our aim for adventure-packed trip paid off because we ended up discovering a new gem, i.e the cutest sea-side hotel I've ever seen! So pretty, it honestly looked like something off a postcard! Basically, our new favorite place and one of the best examples why we love these road trips so much!

Aside from great adventures and discoveries, another reason why I love these road trips so much is because we always aim to make them all about indulging in our favorite things like wining and dining, breakfasts in bed, sunset strolls and in my case, playing dress up and indulging in a few of my favorite beauty rituals. As much as I enjoy a bit of pampering, I don't always have the time to indulge in my favorite beauty rituals at home. And so, these road trips provide a perfect opportunity to wind down, paint my nails, use my favorite face and hair masks, or simply soak in a tub slowly sipping on champaign!:)

Speaking of beauty rituals and indulgences, though I don't necessarily have the time to indulge in every one of my favorite beauty rituals every day, the one indulgence I simply can't be without lately is my new body wash from Caress. What makes this one different from any other body wash I've ever used is the fragrance touch technology, which allows you to touch your skin up to 12 hours after showering to release fragrance. The body wash comes in 4 different fine fragrances: Mystique Forever, Love Forever, Adore Forever and Enchant Forever, which is my particular favorite. Something about this feminine, flirty, charming combination of honeysuckle and satinwood just makes my heart melt! I've always believed in the importance of fragrance, in fact in many ways I consider it one of my ultimate beauty must-haves. Unlike anything else really, the right fragrance speaks of who you are and what you like but also in many ways transforms how you feel, I know I certainly feel a little more special every time I use Enchant Forever!:)

What about you guys, have you tried the new Caress Forever Collection body washes? If you have, what's your favorite fragrance?

FLORAL FIXATION

I suppose a better title for this post would have been Zimmermann fixation, but floral fixation had a better ring to it, and so I rolled with it! When it comes to favorite labels, my obsessions shift from season to season and though I certainly have a few go-to labels, for the most part, I like a bit of variety. Well, with the exception of Zimmermann that is because I cannot remember a Zimmermann collection I did not love!

Feminine, delicate and perfectly detailed, Zimmermann pieces are so out-of-this-world stunning, I honestly feel like a kid in a candy store every time I check out their new collection! This year is no exception of course, and my obsession du jour is the stunning floral number I'm wearing in today's post! This dress... OMG, I can't even tell you how much I love it! Everything about it is simply perfect! The print, the cut, the laced back and of course that little gold bauble trim is absolutely darling! 

I've been obsessively wearing it everywhere and with everything ( btw, it looks super cute paired with denim sneakers )! So chances are, it's going to be a staple, so I hope you don't mind seeing quite a bit of it this Summer!:)

DENIM DAYS

I don't think any of us can talk about a complete summer wardrobe without mentioning a pair of cute denim shorts! Well, at least I can't! Truly, my summer must-have list consists of just a few items like a pair of cute flat sandals, woven tote, a pretty sundress and of course my number one can't-imagine-summer-without-them item - denim cut-offs! Comfy and versatile, denim shorts are something I can wear anywhere and with everything, and of course you know how much I love that!

More than the color, the fit or embelishment, what makes denim shorts truly special for me is the fit! Usually, I opt for low rise, loose fitting styles which work so well with everything from button-down blouses and off the shoulder tops to structured toppers like blazers and jackets.

This time around, my search for a perfect pair of denim shorts led me to ONE TEASPOON, available at Revolve & Shopbop, to discover what is probably my favorite denim line of all time. Love absolutely everything about ONE TEASPOON denim, from distressing to color selection and of course the fit!

What about you guys, what do you look for in a perfect pair of denim shorts?

VICTORIA'S SECRET SHOPPING WITH TAYLOR HILL

So, being a Victoria's Secret Angel Card Ambassador definitely has its perks, like shopping with Taylor Hill to pick a few favorites from Victoria's Secret gorgeous new bra collection for example:) What do I love about this new collection so much? Well, a huge fan of lightly padded or unpadded bras in general, the new collection features the prettiest bralettes in every color and shape imaginable!  

Another reason is that I always struggle to find bras that I can wear with barely there tops and dresses. And so normally, come summer time, I accumulate this monster of a strapless and backless bra collection, which for the most part, somehow never works perfectly! Well, I'm happy to say that I have finally found a solution. The new mix and match bralettes from Victoria's Secret are so pretty, that showing a bit of strap or neon lace actually adds that laid-back, nonchalant vibe to summer outfits! So of course, I love that!

FESTIVAL STYLE RECAP

I love festival season! The parties, the music, the vibe and the style, I love it all! Now that Weekend One is over, which I seriously have a hard time believing because it feels like it came and went in a split second, I wanted to share a few images of some of my favorite moments, outfits and also talk a little bit about what inspires my festival style. 

When I think about quintessential festival style, jewelry is first thing that comes to mind. Though I am certainly a big fan of layering jewelry in general, when it comes to festival style, I can't imagine styling an outfit without adding lots and lots of layered bracelets, rings, necklaces and even earrings. By the way, layered and mismatched earrings are my newest obsession! Currently, I love playing with different shapes, sizes and colors! For example, I like wearing a classic stud in one ear and something a little more dramatic, like a drop or dangle earring in the other! Earrings are such a classic piece of jewelry and combining different shapes, sizes, textures and colors is such a fun way to add a modern twist and a playful touch to your look!

For this festival season, I've partnered with PANDORA, one of my favorite jewelry brands ever, to style a few favorite pieces from their festival collection inspired by Coachella. Though I love every piece in general because it features such delicate, beautiful pieces in some of my favorite colors ( like rose for example ), the one piece that caught my attention right away was the double leather bracelet. What I like about this particular piece, other than its versatility ( it can be worn as a choker necklace as well ), is the fact that the cool combination of leather and sterling silver creates a perfect finishing touch for any festival look. This weekend, I've worn it in multiple ways, layered with classic PANDORA sterling silver bracelets and charms, as a necklace and even on its own, for a slightly more casual approach, and it never failed to make every outfit a little more special:) Another PANDORA obsession du jour, are the Feather earrings! So cool on their own, since I have multiple piercing in my ear, I love combining them with little studs to create a layered effect. I mean, you know me, when it comes to jewelry, the more the merrier is my motto! :) What about you guys, what inspires your festival style?
