Coral Maxi // straw tote // Sandals // sunglasses
I’m back home after my week in California and I’ve never loved my bed so much – even though I actually slept in the guest room when I got home because it has the black out shades and I was going to bed at 7:30 am after taking the red eye. Note to self, never take a red eye. At least not until airplane seats can actually recline all the way. So…. probably never. Other than the red eye, California was amazing. It was so fun taking in the pacific from a pretty rooftop with pink champagne and then going to visit my old apartment on the Santa Monica board walk. Good memories all around. I love that I happened to make it back to that apartment the weekend before my roommate from that summer at MTV is getting married! I’m heading to Jackson, Mississippi this Thursday and can’t wait to celebrate her!
David was coming off of nights when I got home at 7:30 am so we both slept all day on Saturday then went out with friends to “He’s not here” – I may have just gone there to get the amazingly huge blue cups you get to take home. If you are ever in Chapel Hill definitely go there! We went to church on Sunday, ate lunch at fosters market outside, and then spent the rest of the day working on our deck 🙂
Ok so on to the clothes, I’ve actually never owned a maxi dress like this (not all the way to the ground) but actually really love it. It’s so easy to walk in and gives off a perfect casual summer vibe. This striped tote is on SUPER sale and it definitely gets my vote for best beach bag.
Also, in unrelated news, have y’all ever watched the show VEEP? Because I am absolutely obsessed and I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard at a show. It’s hysterical. I’m rolling. David and I both love it, it’s our “meet in the middle show.” He’s convinced me to start watching game of thrones and I’ve convinced him to watch the bachelorette. Which, I haven’t caught up on and have 4 hours of Jojo and chad drama to catch up on, so…. Christmas in June 🙂
Hope you have a short and productive Monday and thank you so much for reading!!

Honey, you look FAB – and I definitely just bought that tote. 🙂 XO -Anna
