Ok, I promise this will be the last time (this week) that I will taunt you with Anniversary Sale stuff. But, I couldn't wait to wear everything, and wanted to go ahead and style these pieces for the warm weather because I know out of nowhere, the cold will be upon us! How awesome do these sandals go with my new Mini Affair?? I do believe it's shopping fate when my old pieces perfectly mesh with my new pieces.

And speaking of cold - I can't believe we are over halfway through the year and summer will be over before we know it! I'm leaving for a long weekend to SoCal this weekend, and really hoping to catch some sun. Do you have any trips left to take for the summer?

There's nothing like going to the beach on a beautiful, hot summer day! 

It's the perfect place to cool off, get a tan, and have endless amounts of fun! Everyone needs a little ocean therapy to clear your mind and get into summer mode.

However, you can't go to the beach without some beach essentials, right?

Lucky for you, today I'm teaming up with a group of lovely bloggers and shops to bring you a Beach Essentials GIVEAWAY! We're giving away $350 cash to help you purchase your favorite beach accessories, as well as some items from our favorite shops that will kick start your beach bundle!
