Summer Stripes, Exciting News & Link-Up

I’m back from my trip to Oregon & Washington…what an amazing trip that was! If you have never been to Pacific Northwest before then add it to your bucket list because it is absolutely gorgeous out there!! Check out some of my travel pics on Instagram.

Despite my extended getaway, the cooler climate left my skin with limited sun exposure which means I still have that pasty white winter “glow.” My milky skin tone has reached its peak high and is ready to soak in a little bit of sunlight. This Easy Breezy Striped Dress is perfect for a day out in the sun. The name of the dress says it all; it’s lightweight, soft, roomy and oh-so-comfortable…easy breezy. πŸ™‚
