See You in San Diego!

Hi Lovies!

One week from today I will be headed to the West Coast with my Mom for a girls weekend! We will be spending three days exploring San Diego together and I could not be more excited about it. My mom and I always have a blast together. I'm also excited because I will more than likely get to hangout with Tiff and Juliette. You guys know that meeting blog friends is my jam.

Today I thought I'd share what my ideal suitcase would look like for my trip.. you know if dreams really did come true. For now I'll be trying to recreate it with things I already have floating around in my closet.

San Diego Essentials


Ray-Ban Mirrored Aviators- Oh how I love these sunnies. I know a lot of people have the green hue, but I'm partial to the blue because I know blue looks good with my blonde hair. I wish I could justify spending $170 on these babies, but since they are so trendy I think I will stick to my Nordstrom BP knockoffs.

Wildfox Tee- Wildfox makes my heart go pitter patter. They make the cutest, softest tees out there and I swoon over them every time I spot them in a store. I know that the new Savvy department at Nordstrom is carrying some fun graphic tees at a great price, so I'm definitely going to check those out. There is something about a casual tee that scream California to me.

Rag and Bone Cuffed Denim Short- When it comes to shorts, there is nothing better than a beat-up and worn in pair. Once the denim gets soft and the fit is perfect I can literally live in a pair of shorts. It's even better when you're able to buy a pair that is already like that off the rack. These are a must for vacation.

DV by Dolce Vita Sandals- I've talked time and time again about my love for DV by Dolce Vita and these sandals are no different. I am obsessed with the all over metallic because I think it can really dress up a pair of sandals if that is something you need. I could easily rock these with shorts and then turn around and throw on a dress for a night out. Perfect!

Rebecca Minkhoff Mini MAC- I have been lusting over this bag for a few months now, but I can never decide on the color. This turquoise is so fun and vibrant and perfect for the sun and summer. When I do break down and buy one I will probably get a more neutral color, but this one is fun to pretend!

Kate Spade Watch- Oh look, something I actually have. Imagine that. I've had this watch for about two months now and I still love it just as much. It goes with everything and I get a million compliments on it!

Kate Spade Studs- These are just so cute, and they match the purse so duh. Kate Spade can really do no wrong in my eyes!

House of Harlow 1960 Sunnies- Oh hello cutest sunglasses ever. I love the exaggerated cat eye and the adorable pattern just sets me over the edge! I think that I need these in my life right away. PS. My birthday is coming up, hint hint!

Mossimo Polka Dot Swimsuit- I have always been a huge fan of Target swimsuits and this one is no exception. Are they the highest quality swimsuit out there? Absolutely not. However, I'm in that "my clothes don't fit but I'm still losing weight" phase right now so cheap is the way to be. I also love that the top has good support for the tatas! Can't be having any wardrobe malfunctions at the beach or pool.

Sanuk Flip Flops- Yet another item on this list that I own and adore. I picked up a pair of these flip flops when I was in college and I still have the same pair in perfect condition. They are actually made from the same material as yoga mats so they kind of feel like you're walking on squishy clouds. They are amazing!

What do you think I should pack for my weekend trip to San Diego?

Sanuks are the most amazing flips ever!! I wear mine non-stop

said...

I love S.D. Hope you have fun! I would suggest a lightweight sweater, it can get a little chilly once the sun starts to go down.

San Diego sounds fun.. but blates in Florida near the beach sounds more fun! There are totally NONE of my favorite bloggers near me (Pensacola/Pensacola Beach/Destin, FL) Have a blast!

Yay for SD. I have lived here for 6 years so if you need any ideas of what to do, let me know!!

Sanuks are a MUST for SD. And the yoga mat ones are to die for. I have like 7 pairs and can't stop buying them.

I lived in San Diego for 2 and a half years and LOVED EVERY MINUTE! Enjoy it!!

said...

I'm glad to hear your Sanuk's lasted so long... I bought a pair to change into at my wedding and became instantly obsessed with them. They might be the best shoes ever!

said...

I;m in love with Rebecca Minkoff lately! The MACs seem like a perfect weekend hanging out bag!
