Beach Day!!

Feelin’ the vibe…

Elsewhere in the country you may have snow days; here in Southern California, we have beach days. Today is definitely shaping up to be one: my daughter is on spring break, it’s supposed to be 80 degrees out, and my swimsuit hasn’t seen the light of day in six months. And when looking at these lovely lazy images from Free People, how can you NOT get in the mood to play a little hookie??

Beach Day: Free People's lace cropped kaftan

Beach Day: Free People's hooded maxi

Beach Day: Free People's summer flora dress

Beach Day: Free People's watercolor tube dress

Beach Day: Free People's ribbed up maxi cardi

Beach Day: Free People's crosswords tube dress

Beach Day: Free People's striped tunic

Beach Day: Free People's fantasy fringe cardi

Will I see you there? Happy sunning this weekend!!

...xoxo

    Hi Erica,,

    Can you share the link for the crosswind tube dress? I absolutely love it, but cannot find it on Free People’s site to purchase.

      My bad, it’s “crosswords” tube dress. Here’s the link:

    Today is such a “play hooky” day! Too bad I’m staring at my cubicle walls :(

    Please frolic in the ocean for me!

      If by frolic you mean don’t leave my beach chair, then YES! I did that. ;o)
