venice beach packing list

It is time for some vacation! This week I’d cutting out early and headed to Venice Beach for the 4th, as well as some much needed R&R. A girlfriend and I booked an amazing Airbnb cottage right in Venice Beach, so I’m pumped for some beach time, good eats, and shopping on Abbot Kinney. As I’m packing for this trip, I find myself gravitating towards flowy summer dresses in a fairly restrained color palette of crisp white, charcoal, and a touch of minty blue. I’m utterly loving the dress selection from Urban Outfitters right now — here are a few of my favorites.

I love the sheer simplicity and femininity of each dress. These frocks truly fall into that desirable category of ‘throw it on and breeze out the door.’ Plus, I’m super jazzed that my hair is fiiinally long enough to rock a crown braid (check out the proof on Instagram)… I’ll be wearing this super romantic look during my entire vacation.
