No new outfit post today. As I mentioned on Monday I spent the whole weekend shooting Pizza Hut commercials, so there was very little time for pictures! Therefore, today's post is all about the beachwear I'm lusting after. A combination of things have me dreaming about beachwear: I'm technically on spring break right now, I keep seeing pictures of everyone on vacation in tropical places, we just booked a trip to Florida in May, and I'll be living 45 minutes away from the beach in three months! I've had my eye on this cover up from Topshop. It's so perfectly airy! I want this swimsuit from River Island so bad! I love the classic black and white. Another black and white suit to die for: a peplum suit from Topshop. These Old Navy sandals would go with everything and would especially perfect to slip on and off at the beach. 

Now I just need to find myself a beach :)

Hello and happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was almost entirely spent working on NSAC (National Student Advertising Competition). We shot commercials and wrote copy all weekend (there was a fair amount of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and reading too, don't worry!). We call this week "Hell Week" because we spend all day every day of our Spring Break working. Our final project is due on Friday! Cue all of the stress dreams/anxiety/knots in my stomach! I basically won't be able to relax until April 11th when we present our project to the judges.

Hope your week is less stressful than mine!

*Keeping it real: I haven't actually worn this outfit IRL. I put it on for pictures, then immediately changed to go shoot a Pizza Hut commercial. It sure is pretty though :)

Crop top: Forever 21. Skirt: Loft (similar). Heels: JCPenny's (similar). Clutch: Coach (similar). Necklace: J. Crew Factory. 

I wore this outfit on Sunday for brunch with Mark. I know brunch is cliche among bloggers, but I don't care because it's basically heaven. I love love love breakfast foods. Donuts. Eggs. Cinnamon rolls. Bacon. Hashbrowns. What's not to love? Anyway, our brunch was delicious. I had a "Napa Bubbles" cocktail which was champagne and pomegranate juice. So good. I got to wear short sleeves and a skirt, ride to and from brunch in a convertible, and eat delicious food. All in all, it was a pretty excellent day.

Hope your week is going well!

Here's a little recap of my weekend visiting Mark in California!

This is the pool at my future apartment. To say it looks heavenly is an understatement. I will be here every weekend lounging and I'm not mad about it.

My legs were loving the fresh air! Seriously though, a girl can only wear jeans and boots for so many months. 

On Saturday we headed into San Francisco for the day. It's such a charming city! All of the houses are adorable and I would live in every single one. 

We pretty much ate, walked around, ate somewhere else, walked around, got a drink, walked around...you get the picture. It was a perfect day trying out lots of new places like A16. It was unbelievably adorable. I think I said the word "cute" approximately 72 times while we were there.

We walked around/people watched by the harbor. 

Mark has a convertible, so here is a little snap that I sent out on Sunday after a delicious brunch ;)

Spring is in full swing in California. Lots of pretty blooms.

It was basically a perfect weekend. Lots of quality time with my guy and lots of yummy food (oh and a little bit of House of Cards too)!
