The best view in town!
Even though my hometown is only about a mile across, I don't get over to the bay side of the island as often as I probably should. It's easy to get caught up in the busy bustle of daily life and forget to take some time to appreciate where one lives, but make sure you take a little bit of time every so often to explore where you live and celebrate it.
For me, the Ferry Landing is one of the best spots in town because it offers the most spectacular views of downtown San Diego. There's also plenty of good restaurants to choose from, like Saiko Sushi where my mom and I went for lunch, or my personal favorite, Tartine. But man, that view...it's hard to beat it!
It's been a bit chilly in San Diego (typical June gloom) so I wore a sweatshirt from Anthropologie and a white ruffle skirt from J. Crew. I love this sweatshirt because it's super cozy, but the front is printed silk, so it's a more elevated take on a classic, casual piece.
After lunch, we went shopping, and I scored a knit tank top and pair of shorts from Madewell along with a sassy pair of sunglasses from Urban Outfitters! I'd say it was a successful day!

Look picnic perfect this summer!
This summer's statement print is gingham, that checkerboard pattern that conjures up images of wicker picnic baskets and diner decor. Everyone from J. Crew to Victoria Beckham featured the iconic print in their spring/summer collections, so hop on this trend for a modern Americana outfit!
Give just a hint with gingham shoes or a purse, or go all out with a Betty Draper-style dress.
Here are some ways to style gingham for summer:

 |
| Mary Seng of Happily Grey wearing Ann Taylor top and shorts, AG Jeans jacket, and Prada shoes |
 |

If it wasn't 'grammed, did it really happen?
The temperature is rising, and the best way to cool off is to hop in a chlorinated lagoon and soak up the sun. Of course, swimming is made exponentially more enjoyable with friends, and at this point you might as well go all out and throw an awesome pool party! But don't just throw any pool party; throw a stylish, Instagrammable event that will make everyone envious of your summertime soiree!
Here are seven steps to throwing an awesome pool party!
1. Sport a swimsuit from a trendy designer

Punk rock meets tea time chic at Westminster Abbey.
As you know, Gucci is the shit right now. Seriously, Alessandro Michele is killing the game and you'd have to be living under a rock not to know that. In a world of Yeezy athleisure and minimalism, Michele has revived the beauty of maximalism, drama, and artful dressing. In his eyes, there's no such thing as too many prints or patterns. Wear all your jewelry at once, he begs! Rock a sweater with a cat on it! Go on, pair those clunky shoes with doily ankle socks and yeah, while you're at it, wear those lace gloves your great-grandmother left for you. Wear it all! Nothing is too kooky, too extravagant, and the best part is, Gucci makes everything (which should look utterly insane) look cool.

Many of these clothes will stun outside of Fashion Week shows and beyond. The show was packed with the most stylish members of the It-crowd, from fashion darling Elle Fanning to rapper ASAP Rocky, who are sure to rock these looks in the coming months.
For those of us who can't dress ourselves in head-to-toe Gucci (a damn shame, really) there are plenty of statement accessories to choose from, from customizeable Dionysus bags to crazy shoes and decadent jewelry. In the end, Gucci is about a state of mind as much as it is a label, so embrace your inner vintage punk and get to print mixing!
