This is the last installment of my Madonna Inn's feature (check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). The word paradise refers to quite a few things here... my tropical paradise matching coordinates, Madonna Inn as a paradise, and this is random but I also love Lana Del Rey's album Paradise. I wasn't joking when I told you that I took a million photos during my one-night-two-day stay at the Madonna Inn. It was simply irresistible when there was a photo worthy spot every corner I turned. I wore this matching bralet and skirt by Tara Starlet during an evening stroll and stopped by a beautiful terrace to capture the moment. The tropical palm print, the cut, the material... I love everything about it! To give this fun vacation look an extra dose of quirkiness, I decided to carry my "I am very busy" iPad sleeve as a clutch and accessorize with some awesome conversational hair pins which I later also stuck in my hair. Madonna Inn was truly a paradise and I hope to go back again for my birthday next year! Perhaps, I'll make it a tradition!

When I think of the ultimate summer dress, I envision it being light, airy, and easy with fun details such as a quirky print or bright colors. This dress by Mona is the perfect example! Not only do I love the lips print and the comfy silhouette, I absolutely adore the ruffles on the straps in the back. I must admit this dress is as sweet as Moriah, designer of Mona! I paired the dress with yet another fun piece, the Margot bag from the Lauren Merkin x Lauren Moffatt collaboration. Print on print because why not? Lastly, I finished the look with a cute bow in my hair and my beloved red t-strap Swedish Hasbeens. Happy Summer!

No, I wasn't really hanging out at the pool, I was actually working! My job is pretty cool if I do say so myself. To refresh your memory, I talked about it here at the beginning of the month. Anyways, here are some of the content I created and photographed for BloomThat x Pressed Juicery's Juice + Blooms promotion happening right now. A mini bouquet of tulips and two bottles of pressed juice delivered right to your door (if you live in the Bay Area). What a perfect way to brighten up your own day or someone else's!

Lately, comfort has been my word of the day every day. I am drawn to casual pieces that are comfortable, effortless, but still look somewhat put together. Like this outfit here, simple crochet knit top with rolled sleeves paired with ripped boyfriend jeans. I pulled the whole look together with matching striped bag and strappy leather sandals, both from Sole Society. Perhaps this laid back style is inspired by me having to walk more recently, but then again who can resist looking like you woke up like this but obviously didn't?

Finally, here are some more photos from my trip to Madonna Inn nearly a month ago! Perfect timing for these pool shots since tomorrow is summer solstice. I don't usually care for neon colors but I love this bathing suit from Forever 21. The design of bright hues with irregular black lines reminds me of an abstract painting, not to mention the high waisted bottom totally did it for me! I accessorized with a light pink floppy hat also from Forever 21 and my incredible watermelon clutch by Nila Anthony! Happy summer!!!

Here is an outfit you don't see on me often. Denim, tartan, and a darker color scheme... these are things I generally avoid. Jeans are most people's go-to items but I am the complete opposite. These ones, however, have an amazing fit and perfect length so it was hard to say no! Not to mention I think they look great with my sheer tartan top which has an asymmetrical peplum hem in the back. I paired it with this geometrical floral necklace which reminds me of one of those bows you put on top of a present! Threw on a little black bag and a pair of black studded sandals and called it a day!
