Dress {I love this similar version} // Converse Shoes c/o Kicks USA // Bracelet & Earrings c/o Blake Valentine // Necklace {Similar}
To those who know me well, they know that I’m really quite awful at taking time off to relax. I usually intend to take at least a day a week, but as life gets crazy and deadlines need to get met, I often find myself scrambling on the weekends to get everything done. And when the weeks are crazy, and the weekends even crazier – sometimes a gal just needs some good ‘ole R&R. And that’s exactly what I did when I hit up Michigan with my boyfriend and his family last weekend.
We spent a few days eating too much junk food {nom!}, falling asleep on the beach, and spending the evenings bonfire-side. Basically, it was the perfect way to spend one of the last summer weekends, and I can finally check Michigan off the list of midwest states I’ve been to. 
My usual weekend uniform has consisted of a striped t-shirt dress and my favorite converse kicks. It’s comfy, easy {my favorite quality}, and makes me appear put together even when I don’t totally feel like it. Paired with some delicate gold jewelry by Blake Valentine {one of my new favorite brands!}, I was ready to hit the town, or beach I should say. 
Alright, I’m totally all in on the Converse wagon – how perfect are these kicks for summer? Needless to say, I’ll be trying my hardest not to retire them for fall – I think they’ll need to stick around a little longer.
You are so cute Maya and I’m so glad that you got out of the city for some R&R!! I think getting out of here once and a while makes a huge difference! It sounds like you had a great time!! 🙂

Agreed – we all need a vacation every once in awhile (aka, at least once a month, right?!) Hope moving in with the boy is going well! xx
You are looking great, Maya! I’m in the same boat! I’m so bad at trying to relax and step away. It’s awful, by far my worst habit!
Awww you are so sweet! We need to catch up soon! xx
