La Vie Dress, Mansur Gavriel Loafers(similar here under $100), Doen Basket Bag

When the sunshine calls, a beautiful dress is in order. I’ve talked about how Rebecca Taylor’s Spring/Summer collection has been one of my favorite to date, and this dress just proves it again (remember this blue and white one I wore here, too?) With summer just around the corner, I can’t wait to pull these out for all of our upcoming travels- Idaho, California, France, Nantucket, the Hamptons… An effortless dress is always my secret weapon for easy travel style.

Over the years, as I’ve really figured out my own style, I’ve realized that while I like to be dressed up, I want my style to feel relaxed as well. What I wear here on the blog is what I wear in real life. I’m not dressing up for photos or putting together elaborate looks. I’m also never being told what to wear or how to style something. This is 100% me and what I love. And I’ve always loved dresses, ever since I was a little girl. I’ve also always been a bit of a dreamer, constantly letting an outfit take me to another place. That’s one of the reasons why I love fashion so much, it can transport you. Even if you’re not heading anywhere. A dress like this or this can can make you feel as though you’re somewhere new.

And if you are heading on any travels, I have you covered! Some of the best pieces for summer are coming out right now, like this off the shoulder dress or this denim mini dress (that I wore here). I’ve been prepping for our summer travels with Nordstrom’s ultimate Vacation Destination. They’ve rounded everything up by trip type and destination, making it easy to shop and narrow down what you’re looking for.

Also, PSA: the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale is launching next week on the 24th- mark your calendars! It means they’ll have 40% off select styles until June 4th (plus free shipping & free returns!), so keep your eyes peeled on some of your favorite styles you’ve been thinking about. I like to fill my cart up and wait to see if any of picks go on sale, that way I’m ready to go if they are. And stay tuned, because I’ll be sharing my favorites from the sale for you guys!

Thank you to Nordstrom & ShopStyle for sponsoring this post.
