Wore my trusty Sew Over It London dress to a full day of hanging at the beach. I tend to not be the biggest fan of sunscreen and sweat, so I always try to bring a little bit of something to keep me cute under the cover of an umbrella. You can see how I styled this dress in Tokyo here or for a day of running errands here.

Wore this wrap dress for a quick run out & about Little Italy yesterday. I also love the polka dots, of course. It is a lightweight fabric, perfect for a warm day!

I recently left my waitressing job of five years and traded it for a full time office position. It's only been a week at my new position but I'm so happy! Great coworkers and a chic office, what more could I ask for, right?

Now that I have left my old job for a new career, I've been on the hunt for transitional pieces That's where these beautiful sling backs come in! You can buy these beautiful pink flats from Everlane. They are also available in a variety of other colors, my second favorite being mustard. And if you were wondering, Everlane also has a kitten heel available. Swoon. Technically this makes two pairs of shoes every gal needs...

The Nijo Castle grounds are just what you would expect. Absolutely stunning and hard to imagine actually living in such luxury. Currently, many of the castles wall paintings from each room are reproductions. You can find the originals in a special 400th anniversary gallery set up on the castle grounds. If you visit during cherry blossom season and can't get enough of the sakura, be sure to visit the cherry blossoms grounds after you stroll through the castle.

Happening upon this park in Kyoto was probably one of my most favorite spots on our trip. It was lined with street vendors and carnival type activities. My favorite? Enjoying a Japanese beer with fried rice on a stick under the falling cherry blossom petals. If you thought anime was exaggerating the beautiful trees, you are wrong. Cherry blossom season may be an incredibly busy time of the year, but we had a pretty decent time getting around Kyoto. I'm not 100% sure on the destination of this park, but my phone tells me somewhere in Kita-ku...

Roaming the streets of Kyoto is exactly how you would imagine it. Extremely picture-esq, you definitely have to take your time to make sure you don't miss any details!
