The ever so popular Hill House Home is launching their new Mermaid Apparel Collection today at 12PM (EST). I plan on getting another Ellie Nap Dress in Raspberry along with a Navy Linen Akilah Nap Dress. I am also loving the Paz Skirt and Top Set (on my girls wish list in white), Roxy Nap Dress, and Nesli Nap Dress in Paisley. To shop the new Mermaid Collection click here it won’t last long!
Summer camp jewelry is trending big time! Colorful beads and heishi shells are amongst the materials being used. I’ve selected some pieces below that I love!
I am just returning from a quick trip to Cabo. We stayed at the new Nobu hotel in Cabo San Lucas. The beautiful resort mixes Japanese minimalism with modern Mexican decor. The perfect blend of sophistication with laid back luxury. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and comfortable (beds were amazing!). The hotel has three large pools to choose from the Pacific Pool being our favorite with swim up cabanas. The overall service at the hotel was amazing with each room having their own personal ambassador. It was a great way to kick off Summer!
We had two amazing dinners, one at Manta (The Cape Hotel) and one at Cocina Del Mar (Esperanza Hotel). Lunch at Nobu’s Pacific Restaurant was delicious (the shrimp quesadillas were so good!). Now onto what I packed into my carry-on!

The cutout/vent is the latest trend to hit the dress world, side vents, back vents, and peek-a-boo cutouts are all included. See below for my Venting edit.
Last week I posted this bathing suit and said I would report back once I received it. It’s my first Summersalt suit and I absolutely love it! It’s comfortable, flattering, and reasonably priced. See below for my favorite Summersalt suits and cover-up’s.
These suits look really cute with an oversized white button-down (as a cover-up) like this, this, & this. I am also loving crochet cover-ups like this, this, & this, and sarongs like this, this, & this.
I haven’t done a beauty post in awhile so I thought I would share my Top 10 Beauty Products. I am not a product junkie I like to keep my products down to a minimum to avoid clutter in the bathroom. My favorites listed below.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I stopped by Playa Runway over the weekend. It’s a cute shopping area similar to Platform in Culver City. They have a Farmer’s Market on Saturday, and a cool market place called Free Market. Several chic boutiques and restaurants Alchemy Works, County Line Florals, Teressa Foglia, Loqui (love!), Jeni’s Ice Creams, and Bull & Butterfly (can’t wait to try!). Saturday evening we had dinner at Golden Bull in Santa Monica Canyon. The new patio strung with twinkle lights is a great addition to this casual and cozy neighborhood restaurant. Now onto all the cute new stuff that J. Crew has in store now.
You can check out all the new arrivals here.

Two popular Brazilian brands Farm Rio & Havaianas have come together for the cutest capsule collection! Check it out below.
BTW – I’m loving this season’s Farm Rio dress collection which is full of vibrant, tropical, and happy prints. It goes with this Summer’s biggest trend “Joy Dressing” (check out WSJ article about “Joy Dressing“). After wearing sweats for the past year we want to wear clothing that makes us feel happy, and Farm Rio checks that box. A couple dresses I’m loving are this (below picture), this, & this.
Another cool collaboration to check out is Vans x Liberty of London. Liberty of London a century old brand known for beautiful floral prints has lent it’s signature fabric to the Old Skool Sneaker. You can check it out here.
Have a great day everyone!

Mango just launched their Summer 2021 collection The Sun Is Everywhere. This collection is serving up major flower power and 70’s vibes. The collection consists of colorful prints, crochet pieces, beautiful flowy dresses, and two piece sets. I’m loving it all! To see the whole collection click here. My selections below.
Net-a-Porter is having a BIG sale, I picked up a couple pairs of Mother Jeans (these, these, & these). Lots of other great deals including Veja’s, Vibi Venezia cashmere slippers, and this Ulla top. Check out all the sale here up to 50% off!
Samantha Wennerstrom of Could I Have That is looking Trés Chic in this season’s Sézane dress and top. It inspired me to head over to vintage inspired French brand Sézane (known for making quality affordable pieces) to check our their new arrivals. See what I found below.
My shopping cart update – Over the weekend I ordered a Summersalt Swimsuit, Spanx twill pants (had to try them based on the reviews), and Isabel Marant Lennyo Slides I got from the Nordstrom sale (the pop of color is fun!). I will keep you posted on the fit of the swimsuit and pants. Have a great week everyone.
