.Minted.







Blouse, Forever 21 (old) Love This One // Sweater, Jcrew // Jeans, Target (sold out) Similar // Sandals, Forever 21 (old) Obsessed With These  // Sunnies, Anthropologie // Necklace, Jane c/o // Watch, Kate Spade // Bracelets, Jcrew & Jcrew Factory // Purse, Forever 21 (not online) Similar 

This past Saturday, Tyler and I took a trip down to the Little Italy Farmers Market here in San Diego. If you live in the area, you have to check it out! It is amazing and you can easily spend most of your day there indulging in delicious treats and looking at all the beautiful fresh flowers! Well, that's what we did any ways :) Earlier that morning, when we were discussing possibly going down there, I immediately started putting outfits together in my head. I know I'm not the only one that does that, right?! Since it was such a beautiful day, I felt like dressing like it was spring! Which isn't that far off, because it feels like spring everyday in San Diego. Naturally I was drawn towards my favorite color mint. I actually planned this outfit around the gorgeous necklace I am wearing. When the sweet people from Jane sent me this necklace, I knew I was in LOVE! It's such a fun piece and even more stunning in person. I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot in the next couple months!!

XOXO, Kayla

I love a good button up shirt. They can easily be dressed up with a skirt or paired with jeans for a chic causal look. This boyfriend shirt I found on sale at Gap this past weekend is my new favorite! It's honestly so comfortable, it feels like you are wearing your favorite pajama shirt! Who doesn't love that?? I would love one in every color please :)

Ok, can we just talk about how adorable this anchor sweater by Old Navy is?! I have to say they are on their game lately. If you go in there right now they have so many cute blouses, dresses and sweaters covered in anchors! It all screams Jcrew, but thankfully for your wallet, it doesn't have the same price tag:)  I couldn't resist the urge to pair it with my favorite red Hunters & faux fur vest. They all just seemed like a match made in heaven!

XOXO, Kayla

.Polka Dot Blazer.





Blazer, Target // Blouse, Nordstrom (old) Similar // Jeans, Jcrew (not online) Similar // Bow Wedges, Steve Madden (old) Similar // Necklace, Jcrew // Bracelets, Jcrew & Forever 21 // Sunnies, Anthropologie // Lips, Revlon 'Sweetheart Valentine'

I have had my eye on this blazer for months! Polka dot blazer, I mean, does it get much cuter than that?! I just never pulled the trigger on actually buying it because it is white, I just couldn't justify it. But, the other day my aunt informed me that it went on sale! You better believe I ran to our nearest Target to pick this baby up before it sold out! I'm pretty happy I did. Since it's endless summer here in Southern California I know I will get a lot of use out of it. Thanks again Kia for the heads up on the sale :)

P.S. I had to throw in the last picture because my sweet boyfriend opened a bottle of much needed wine while we were taking these! I know it's only Tuesday but it's already a long week! Cheers to another week and working for the weekend :)

XOXO, Kayla
