On Saturday, I had some time to kill in Venice, so I wandered the shops along Abbot Kinney and found myself in the J.Crew fitting room trying on some of their new arrivals, this cozy cashmere tennis sweater and painter pants (above).

Later, we had dinner at Loreto, and it was excellent. I wore this comfortable A.L.C. dress with my ME+EM jacket, which is on sale now. It was the perfect layer for the outdoor patio. The restaurant feels like a little escape to Mexico, and the ceviche, aguachile, tostadas, and craft cocktails were all delicious!

2. J. Crew Painter Pant, $168 Size up for a looser fit.

It was a fun weekend filled with good food, a little shopping, and some time outdoors. I had a spontaneous dinner at Steak 48 on Friday. They know how to do a good martini, filet, shrimp cocktail, and baked potato. I wore my new Anine Bing slip dress (love!) with a Dôen cardigan. On Saturday, I spent the day in Malibu and Topanga. We started the morning with a hike at Solstice Canyon. It’s one of my favorite hikes in Malibu and a great way to spend a Saturday morning. I wore my new Alo flare leggings and a long-sleeve Lululemon top. Afterward, I threw on a Buck Mason button-down over my leggings and stopped by Cross Creek Ranch for a really nice lunch at Pura Vida before heading to Topanga for a little shopping. Moona Star is one of my favorite stores in Topanga. The boutique is filled with beautiful, unique pieces made by women artisans from around the world. I rushed home from Malibu to meet friends for dinner at Matu. I wore my T Line button-down with TWP trousers for dinner. Lastly, it was Sunday morning yoga, farmer’s market, and a family dinner. I wore Brochu Walker shirt dress with flip flops. Have a great week everyone!

Over the weekend, I spotted someone wearing a pair of Donni gingham silk pants with a flowy Dôen top and Mary Janes, it was such an effortlessly chic look. It also reminded me of the LESET drawstring carpenter pants (below) that I’ve had my eye on. This style of pant is the perfect blend of comfort and style for the warmer summer months.

Also in my shopping cart are these two lightweight cotton dresses from Xirena. I ordered the Greta gingham dress and Bowen shirt dress that will be easy to throw on and stay cool.
