lifestyle and travel by marisa taylor
Okay, let's wrap up this wanderlust. Not really — I'm currently writing this piece while traveling. But, there's still some things left to tell you about Cancun. Particularly, soaking in the pools, swimming with the dolphins, and going with the flow of the ocean waves. Sounds pretty sweet, am I right?
Read MoreLeave me amongst the palms. Summer is so on my mind, even though it's all too early to break out the bikinis. Seriously, spring just sprung and I'm already daydreaming about days at the lake and finding tropical places to spend a week away. (Mallorca, anyone?) But, in all my thoughts I remembered that my trip to Cancun last summer was oh-so sweet. And that there's still details that somehow missed the blog scene — okay, I got distracted. I'm human, what can I say?

A sunny Saturday in late March // I'm feeling just beachy when it's the weekend. The days when it's warm even though it's not supposed to be quite yet, put me straight in the mood to adventure and call trips to the next town over "traveling." You're probably tired of hearing about my wanderlust, and I promise I'll be on a plane and taking pictures in much more exciting places soon enough. But, for now, these drives to the the Connecticut shoreline with my girl crew will be just fine.
Putting someone else behind the camera to recreate my visions is always interesting for me. My friends did good, though, and this afternoon was a chance to try out some new editing and mess with my very own presets before summertime and my travels truly come around.
This look is a lot of denim — which, if you know me, is kind of unexpected. Jeans aren't really my go-to ever, but on a windy afternoon by the coastline, it was necessary. Layering with a fitted grey top and oversized white cardigan made this outfit the comfy I can get behind. And if you look close enough, you'll see some touches of gold to go along with that brighter state-of-mind.
Cue "Saturday Sun" off the latest Vance Joy album, because there's going to be so many more sunny days like this one. Thank goodness, I just can't wait any longer and always looking to live well.
THE LOOK: Oversized jean jacket (Brandy Melville, $45); Grey 3/4 sleeve top (Brandy Melville, $22); Mom jeans (Brandy Melville, $38); White oversized knit cardigan (PacSun, $50); Chesnut brown booties (Lucky Brand, $129); Anklet (Pura Vida Bracelets, $24); Grey bracelet with gold circle (Pura Vida Bracelets, $20); Sunglasses (H&M, $10)
