Rose Maxi Dress

DFT- Two Kimberly31
I instantly fell in love with this dress when I saw it on HM.com. One thing I didn’t realize is that it features thigh-high slits on either side! Fantastic for a pool party or brunch, but a little too revealing to wear this stunner to work. It happened to be quite warm this day, as is more often the case than not since July has rolled around, so the slits worked well for ventilation 😉
I thought there no better place to shoot this look than the grounds at Kimberly Crest, a local historical gem with gorgeous views of the city. It’s one of my favorite places to visit on my day off to just let the stress from the week melt away.

Feather Midi Skirt and Layered Blouse

DFT- Two Kimberly21
If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that I picked up some awesome new things from H&M, including this darling feather-print skirt. It’s so airy and light and is really easy to wear. Next time, I’ll definitely try it with something more fitted, as I feel the blousy-ness of this black wasn’t as flattering on my frame as I’d have liked 🙂

A Downtown Stroll

DFT 2087
Oh baby, it’s hot outside…
With this absurdly warm weather, also comes the Redlands Bowl Summer Concert Series, a bi-weekly event where half of the town gathers to have a massive picnic and listen to a variety of performers. I love to fix up a gorgeous meal like bruschetta, a meat, cheese and olive plate, chilled pasta and a berry trifle, accompanied by a couple bottles of wine and some fantastic company. It’s one of those perfect summer evenings. I plan on attending several of these concerts this season, as the lineup is quite intriguing.

For this look, I definitely wanted to keep cool, but also add a couple pops of color with the help of my coral crossbody bag and ombre reflective sunnies. I think that’s what keeps black & white from being too serious in the summer, and I’m loving coral and orange-y tones right now.

Floral Maxi and Micro Bag

DFT- Two Kimberly03
Happy first day of July!
Today and yesterday have brought the oddest weather for us southern Californians.. From windstorms to random sprinkles, all the while, still very hot and sticky outside. My day has shifted to working out in the early morning, indulging in frosty, fruity smoothies for snacks throughout the day, and going to bed right after the sun goes down. Call me a party pooper, but the first few weeks of summer for me take some getting used to and my energy level is at zero! Thankfully, that fades away and I’m ready for road trips and pool parties and everything else fun that this season has to offer 😀
