Tie One On

Back for a new week and sharing one of my favorite looks for summer a sleeveless top and high-waisted shorts. This Equipment tie-up blouse is one of my favorites and I love the chic look paired with some print and color.

I snagged this particular Equipment tie-up blouse at a Phoenix-Area Nordstrom Rack but I also love a crisp periwinkle version as well.

If you remember, a little over a week ago I was vacationing in one of my favorite places, Santa Barbara, California. It was sunny and warm pretty much everyday, but no complaints here! I wore a lot of combinations such as the above throughout the day. It cools off pretty nicely at night, requiring a change into jeans or a long dress with a jacket.

I’m all raves for these printed high-waisted shorts – on major sale right now. The fit is amazing. I also have this striped pair and am loving this pleated pair. They run true to size even though their a high-waisted fit.

Remember these blue wedges, last seen here, they are my new favorite for the end of summer. They’re a little high, but oh-so-gorgeous and totally worth it. Definitely recommend, and this metallic pair is a perfect neutral for the summer to fall transition. Also found a red pair on sale, here.

I’m working on some fun video content from our trip to Santa Barbara to share with y’all soon! In the meantime, be sure to checkout previous content from past trips to Santa Barbara and mouse on over to my new YouTube channel. There you can see my first two videos and subscribe for updates on new content.
