On very hot summer days (like we had this past weekend), dresses are ideal for keeping cool and comfortable. They are definitely my go-to in this heat-wave and since they’re so easy to throw on – little thought is required when it’s just too hot to think clearly! This blue striped dress has been worn so often lately that it literally doesn’t make it’s way back into my closet. Wear – wash – wear – repeat. The fabric is super soft, the elastic waist is a no-brainer, and the off-the shoulder bodice is on-point. I love it paired with this boater hat, giving off a cool and relaxed vibe – perfect for mid-summer days strolling, shopping or sight-seeing.

Also, if you noticed that I look a little more tanned than usual – no need to fear – it’s straight out of a bottle! This summer I’m absolutely obsessed with St.Tropez’s lineup of the most easy-peasy self-tanners. Weekend tans never looked better – or safer. You can grab the perfect St.Tropez Self Tanning Kit on major sale as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. You need this!
