Not sure how the “unofficial end of summer” weekend has come and gone, but I still feel as if it should be April over here…

I find myself torn between two seasons… wanting cooler temps, but still relishing in everything that summer always brings with it. And while I know it has been a different summer than those of years past, summer 2020 is one I don’t want to forget. It’s the summer where we learned to find happiness + joy in our own backyard… where we operated under a slower pace of life… and where we learned to appreciate that less sometimes means more….

And while I know we still have a month, at least, left of summer and summer weather, lending itself to yet another endless summer in Southern California… I do know that this weekend marks the transition and one in which I reflect and feel a sense of gratitude for what it brought.

I hope you all have a good, short, week ahead! xx

(Love her chunky little thighs! onesie, shoes)

(Kicking off the long weekend in my favorite spot… joggers, tank + more cute lounge items from ZSupply)

(Saturday morning cuddles with the girls…)

(A rare quiet moment on a Saturday morning… blankets, chairs)

(Sunday morning donuts…. decisions decisions…)

(Taco Bar for a poolside lunch… pickled onions are such a game changer!)

(Our entire weekend was basically eat, sleep, pool, repeat…. not a bad way to spend it….)

(That bed head though….)

I mentioned this weighted jumprope last week + I just received a $20 off code for it (ITSYBITSY20). I love that you can do the workouts anywhere and they’re super effective at getting my heart rate up… I’m going to bring it with me this coming weekend when we head to our beach getaway…

I love this tie dye shorts + sweatshirt set… great for end of summer lounging!

We got these dinner bowls last week and absolutely love them… they’re sustainably made, microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe and they come in the prettiest color options.

I wanted to share a few Labor Day weekend sales that are still happening:

West Elm is having a site wide sale (discount based on amount spent) and our counter stools are included… and I purchased these black pots and these slope dining chairs.

Madewell is having an up to 50% off sale (discount varies depending on items)… some cute fall items include this cream open knit sweater, white leather mules, tie front ribbed cardigan (would be so pretty for a date night), and this basic white popover top.

This adorable leopard print sweatshirt is under $20… and would be so comfortable for fall.

These P448 sneakers are on sale… and they’re super comfortable… and look like Golden Gooses…

And while I know everyone’s mind is going to fall… my go-to leopard print swim top + bottoms are on sale… as is one of my go-to white gauzey cover-ups (so beautiful). All sustainably made as well.

Elemis is having 25% off select full size products (code LABORDAY). My favorites are the collagen cleansing balm, collagen facial oil, and the collagen SPF30 marine cream (I use this every day under my makeup).
