Recently I returned from a vacation in Oceanside, California and I have to say that I already miss it way too much. I miss the long peaceful walks I took each morning on the beach, I miss the fresh air that washed away all my fears, I miss the sound and rhythm of the ocean, I miss watching the surfers catch waves and on and on... I've had the best time!
It's always so wonderful to return to California because it's only four hours drive from Vegas and it's my kind of oasis. While I was there I took a lot of beach photos that those of you who follow me on Instagram have already seen and even shot this cute outfit that brings back so many wonderful memories.
Words cannot describe how nice it was to be barefoot- feet in the sand, to climb on palm trees (at least I tried), to play with the water, and to fully enjoy all that beauty around me. Looking at these photos now, not only do I want to go back, but I wish I had the power to reverse and freeze time, so I could relive it all over again. Unfortunately, that won't be happening anytime soon ðŸ˜, so let's sit back, relax and imagine that we're there while looking at these photos.
One of the best things about the beach is that it's perfectly okay to have no shoes on, which is why I didn't even bother wearing ones for this look ( I only packed 2 pairs). Instead I opted for two identical anklets to add some shine and beauty to my feet (happily covered in sand).
For me personally, a summer vacation without a dress is like spring without flowers: Not going to happen! The minute I knew I was going to California, the first thing I put in my suitcase is this pretty dress because I didn't want to forget it and miss the chance to wear and take pictures in it. How do you like it? It also comes with straps that can be removed, as you can see, I did just that because I found it more suiting this way. I love the turquoise and the mixture of colors in it. It reminds me of the ocean.
When I walked along the beach in the mornings it was a bit chilly, so I decided to throw on my white cardigan because it adds that more casual beach feel. I've had it for so long that I can't believe I've managed to keep it this white and clean. Praying I didn't just jinx it!
And this choker is all too familiar to you because I featured it in my previous post. When I said that I was wearing it constantly, clearly I wasn't lying. I love it to pieces! If you knew how much it costs, you wouldn't believe your ears, eyes, head...
The final touch is my stud earrings that have been with me for several years and still look like new. Here is the time to say, "Thank You" to myself for keeping my clothing/jewelry in top shape. A little praise won't hurt anyone! hahaha

Thanks for coming with me to this Oceanside oasis. I hope it brought some joy and beauty to your day (even more so if you had a bad day). I'm looking forward to reading your comments. I truly appreciate every single one...💖
Now back to reality until the next trip (hopefully really soon)!
