A Velvet Dream: Crisscross Denim Sauce

Hello readers!

So I'm pretty sure it's already summertime here in San Diego (just ask the weather), and that has put me in MAJOR beach mode. This weekend I spent my time outside in shorts and a tank top soaking up the beautiful sunshine, so it was only fitting I shot some pics by the beach!

My grandparents lived in La Jolla so I grew up very familiar with the area, and I still frequent this quaint little park with an amazing view (and beach access of course). The wind started to blow right before I started shooting, but this totally worked in my favor. I was laughing the whole time and the lighting made for some killer shots. I apologize for the overload of photos, but there were just too many good ones!

Now for the clothes... YES YES YES to denim mini's! I wondered how long this trend would last, but to my surprise the style seems to be here to stay (for a while at least). I love how many different ways the mini can be styled and it is a great cut for taller girls. If you live somewhere colder I would try the skirt with some tights, over the knee boots, and a cute jacket. I bought this mini from Urban Outfitters, and I will definitely be going back for the lighter wash. I paired the skirt with a comfortable crisscross cami from Free People (that I bought in multiple colors obviously). This top is perfect with high-rise jeans, shorts, a maxi skirt, etc. The possibilities are endless, and it's so affordable!!

Of course I topped my outfit off with some Western inspired silver & turquoise from The 2Bandits and some rad purple Ray-Bans.
