In the summer I’m all about rocking a cute dress whether its day or night. It’s almost too hot to wear anything else! So I wanted to share a favorite summer look that I wore to a charity event recently. This pretty in pink dress is short, flirty and feminine with cut out details on the side for a little hint of sexy. Pair it with high heels for a night on the town or some sparkly flats for day. And while we’re at it, lets talk about my new favorite summer hairstyle – the crown braid! I’ve been wearing …

I recently stumbled across the most adorable Airbnb beach rental on Instagram and decided this hidden gem was way too cute not to share!

Last month I took a super quick trip to San Francisco for a one day conference and padded on a tiny bit of extra time so that I could see the city and explore. I’d only been to San Francisco once before for a business trip a number of years ago but didn’t get to see much.
