{A list that helps keep my overpacking to a minimum}
Just a little glimpse at my (totally crazy) method for packing. It takes a while from start to finish, but the process is oddly calming and ensures that nothing is left behind.

{Colorful ribbons that help me identify which suitcase is mine}
{Light and dewy make-up for the humid weather}
{A bright new embroidered skirt for our trip}
{Flat sandals and wooden heels (hiking shoes not shown)}

Since all of my breezy basics and colorful tunics were packed away for our trip, I relied on muted brights for the duration of the weekend. I’d been searching for a vest version of my beloved military-inspired jackets (this and this), so I was ecstatic when I found the exact one at J.Crew while looking for a bathing suit. No swimwear was found, but I went home happy.

To the one who always makes me feel adored, answers my calls with true excitement and understands me better than just about anyone. Papa, I love you. Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers (and father figures) out there. xx

{Passports ready for packing}
This week has been insanely busy since I’ve been scrambling to get everything taken care of before we leave on Monday for a much-needed vacation. We’re headed to Costa Rica and I can’t wait to alternate between the pool and beach, eat great food and explore the country. And so that I can fully relax while I’m away, I have all my posts lined up for next week. Now I just have to pack up my suitcase with lots of light layers, bug spray and a little extra room to bring back Costa Rican coffee.

{I’m loving the jacaranda-lined streets in L.A.}
