The past two days, we got a taste of June gloom in the desert but I’m happy to say that the sun is finally back out to play! Call me crazy, but I think that 97 degree heat + clouds + humidity is way more unbearable than 104 degree heat + sun + no humidity. Glad to see Palm Springs back to its good ol’ self! π I recently bought this Free People dress and it’s been a favorite to wear just about anywhere. Even though it’s so sparkly, it can be easily worn to casual outings too. It comes in a peach pink and a navy blue. I loved both when I saw it in stores, so it was so hard to pick which to take home,Β but I ended up going with the blue!
The gloomy weather the past few days got me feeling a bit blue (no pun intended lol) and this dress just reminds me to always shine bright like a diamond! No matter what obstacles you may be going through in life, it’s always important to look up and forward. Shower people with kindness and love, because you just never know what they’re going through.
I have been obsessed with oversized round sunnies lately and scored this pair from Forever 21 for just a little over $5! ItΒ got it in store and wasn’t able to find the exact one online but linked a few of my favorite sunnies in a similar style below. It’s definitely a must-have for summer.Β π
What are some of your favorite wardrobe pieces lately?

Love the dress!! A little to short for me, but your rocking it girl! Also, your skin is flawless π
Thanks babe! I personally like shorter dresses/shorts/skirts so this one’s just up my alley!
Those sunnies are to die for and I love that sparkly dress! Hope you’re having a sparkling day babe! xoxo
Thank you Miranda! Hope you are too xo
This is the cutest dress! I can see myself in it for NYE.
Ohh you’re right! This would be super cute for New Year’s!

Thanks Amanda!
Gorgeous dress. Although it’s a bit short for me it’s great on you. The pictures are beautiful too.
Thanks Leah!
This is such a cute dress and I love the length to show off those long, lean legs of yours! The sparkle is definitely a reminder to be positive and shine despite difficulties that you face. I love that you tied those in together in this post. This dress is perfect for date nights, showers, and even weddings. I like it styled more casually with these wedges too. It is so gloomy here too, but I know the warm days are ahead! xoxo, Christine

Thanks Christine! The shorter the better here in PS because I don’t want awkward tan lines LOL. Hopefully it’s warmed up for you in OC! It’s definitely heated up in PS… I’m indoors enjoying AC π
Twho things – can I just say how amazing your blog site looks?! I even love the icon sheep when I’m waiting for the page to load! And two – your dress is amazing, diamond is a word that only captures half of your beauty!

Thanks Gracie! The dress comes in a blush pink too… I may just have to go pick it up because it’s been on my mind LOL
Any temperature with humidity is unbearable to me, so I definitely feel you! I have never thought to pair my Marc Fisher wedges with a sparkly dress like this, but I am quite obsessed with the one you’re wearing π

The vertical sequin streaks on your dress really elongate your legs! You look like a runway model xx I’m also obsessed with circular lenses especially the ones with the daisies.

I’m in love with this sparkly baby doll dress!! I’m glad the good weather returned in Palm Springs! I just went to the beach today for a photo shoot and was blessed with the most perfect beach weather. Good weather always gets me in a better mood π
http://www.samanthamariko.com
Thank you Samantha! I’m glad you like this dress too! Yes, the warm weather has indeed returned… in fact I believe it’s going to be in the 100s all of this week or close at least. Omg I miss the beach! Need to make it out to San Diego or LA soon to enjoy a calming beach day. Glad you had a good one darling!
This dress is gorgeous, and I love your styling! I NEED that bag!
Thank you Meg! xx
LOVE that style of sunglasses. I have one pair and my friends always joke and call them “bug eye” glasses lol.
Thank you so much! LOL! I know right? My bf can’t seem to comprehend why I like to wear sunglasses that take up half my face hahaha.
You’re so right hun, no matter what you’ve been through or are going through, you need to look ahead and shine bright like a diamond. Then again, you always do. I agree, heat with humidity is so much worse than heat without humidity, but then again, in those temperatures you’re not allowed to complain at all, haha. My fave accessories are yet to be discovered, but I’m going heavy on bags this summer (poor credit card of mine).
Love,
Thomas

I love Free People! That sparkle dress looks amazing on you babe! you made the dress shine! I’ve had a few great days of summer time here too! except I got super burnt from my yacht trip. Guess I will stay indoor for the next few days T.T
xx, Jessie
Thanks Jessie! You’re so sweet! Sorry to hear you got burnt on your yacht trip! Oddly enough I never get burnt and instead I just get really dark really fast when I’m in the sun a lot (even without sunscreen)! I have gotten better at wearing sunscreen ever since moving out here though because the sun in the desert feels dangerously strong LOL.
such a gorgeous dress, love the sparkle detail!

Thanks Mary! So glad you like the dress too!
The weather in LA was mega weird last week too! It was so gloomy and didn’t feel like LA. Of course this week we are back to normal which is nice. I absolutely love this dress! It’s so sparkly and pretty.
