I can definitely say that I am a summer person…ever since I can remember I’ve counted down the days until summertime, but somehow every year the season flies by and I’m starting my countdown again.  We are already in July so I think it’s safe to say that’s going to be the case this summer too.  So this year I made a list of things I want to do this summer and I’m making a conscious effort to check off at least one thing a week.  Here are a few on my list:

-Picnic in the Park

-Bike ride by the beach

-See a movie outdoors

-Spend days at the beach

-Go to as many free summer concerts as possible

-Have a BBQ

-Spend a day by the pool

Those are just a few on my list.  It keeps growing! What’s on your summer list??

Park in the Park

Dress:J Crew//Necklace:NYC Jewelry Mart//Belt:Thrift//Shoes:Zara

It’s been a bit hard to start exploring my new ‘hood with all of the travel and all around busyness we’ve had as of late.  Which is why I’m so excited to start…finally!  Last week we went to our local farmer’s market and food truck night, tons of fun.  After being in NYC I really miss being able to walk everywhere so it was nice to explore our area by foot.  You notice so much more when you walk, I love that.  These photos were taken at a local park we found on a morning run a few days ago…future picnic spot maybe??

Summer Dressing

My weekend in Palm Springs was definitely my summer kick off…hanging out by the pool..pulling out my swimsuits and summer dresses, yup it’s official! Something about warm weather just makes me want all of my outfits to be fun.  This dress is definitely one I’ve been looking forward to wearing.  The print and collar make it such an easy dress to wear.

NY in LA {location 5}

Blazer:BCBG//Shirt:BCBG//Jean:Gap//Shoes:Zara

This was our last location on the NY in LA engagement shoot (LA chinatown=NYC chinatown)..hard to believe it’s been over a year since these were taken!! It’s been such a crazy/exciting/eventful year since then.  Kind of funny that I’m writing my last NY in LA post while in NYC I’m really starting to feel like I live in both cities now…can’t complain.  Stay tuned for my list of NYC faves coming up soon!

Check out the rest of our adventures in capturing NY in LA here, here, here, and here.

I’m so excited we are finally kicking off Summer 2012!  Can’t wait for all of the warm weather, outdoor events.  As usual we’ve been all over the place the last few weeks and it’s been a blast.  We spent a few days at the Parker in Palm Springs, which is a great place to stay if you’re in the area, great pools, restaurants, decor..they have it all!  So much inspiration. Let the summer season begin!

All the Pretty Bows

Sunnies:Thrift//Blouse:Buffalo Exchange//Shorts:BCBG//Shoes:Camper//Watch:Thrift//Bracelet:COS

I decided to take advantage of the sorta in-between-weather we’ve been experiencing here in LA and wear shorts and long sleeves.  We had a few full fledged summer days and then some chilly ones..always gotta be on our toes  Either way I felt the urge to bring out some shorts I haven’t worn since last season and pair them with a newer blouse I exchanged some past closet loves for.  Yay for shorts season! And now to work on my tan….

These are the Days

Dress:Topshop//Belt:Thrifted//Shoes:Old

This is the kind of dress you want to wear everyday..its so comfy and light..perfect for the warm days ahead.  I love dresses that you can dress up or down, they get the most wear in my closet…a good investment I’d say  Gotta stock up on more of these!
