One final look back on the highlight of 2012 was the commitment ceremony I had with my man, BC. I want to say major thank you to @Allsaints_ for the gift of this gorgeous dress. I bleached it three times to get this sandy ombre effect.
Here is a different AllSaints dress that would be lovely on the beach.

It is the last day of 2012 and I am reflecting back on this very eventful year.
Surprise engagements, new family members, job lay-offs, cross-country moves, career high-points and an intimate commitment ceremony.
What a year!
I am so grateful I to spend every day with this wonderful man.

It was just snowing in NY and I feel guilty writing this but it’s about to be the weekend and since I have moved to LA I have not had a proper beach day yet. Sure, I have visited the beach when I’ve been near it. But there has not been a bikini-clad, beach towel and stack of magazines day. Alas, I am pretty sure this weekend it won’t happen. We are still in deep with getting the apartment in order.
I took a visit to see the new styles coming out in the Spring from O’neill and these four were my favorites. I look forward to the time when my life feels settled in and beach days are not just fantasies but regular life. In the meantime, you can cop any of these printed styles I found below on sale from O’neill now and start dreaming with me.
Tiny flowers bra top and full bottoms.
