We finally made it to St. John! Coming from Oregon was a real trek, but I'm so glad we're here. Island time is no joke :) Yesterday, Ryan and I went to Trunk Bay, one of the top beaches in the WORLD. Can't say I disagree one bit. Did you know that most of the beaches here are a part of the National Parks Service? That means that all the land is protected and pristine, and like no other beach you'll find stateside.

I could not wait to hop in the crystal clear water with my new Becca suit (we don't get warm water days in Oregon!). I love the braided details that add a super fun touch.

The best part? USVI parks have bars and restaurants! We all know there's nothing better than sitting on a beach sipping a rum drink...and you can totally do that here. You don't have to be at a fancy resort to fully enjoy the island life. The food isn't what you'd expect either. I'm pretty sure I had the best grilled chicken I've ever eaten at Cinnamon Bay the day before.

Pro tip: DO NOT have open food on these beaches! I had a seagull dive-bomb me from behind and fly away with my chicken salad. You literally have to make a tent out of your beach towel to eat you food out in the open. These birds know what they're doing and they have not a care in the world!

4th of July | JORD Giveaway!

Commes de Garcon Shirt // JORD Wood Watch // Kendra Scott Necklace

Paige Skinny Jeans // SOREL Out N About Boots

Yay 4th of July and a long weekend! I love dressing in red, white and blue and celebrating with friends. Nothing beats grilling out, watching fireworks and making s'mores on a day when you'd normally have to be sitting at your desk working.

Growing up, my dad would always get sparklers for us and I was ALWAYS afraid of them. My little brother was more of the adventurous type when it came to messing around with fireworks, but I wanted nothing to do with them. However, for the photo above, I ventured out of my comfort zone ;)

Surprise, surprise... SOREL just launched their new Fall 16 collection and we've got RED Out N About Boots this season! The Out N About is one of the most popular styles and sells out SO fast so be sure you grab your pair before they're all gone!

Also, I'm all about my new wooden watch from JORD. I've never really owned any accessories made from wood, but I love how light it is and I've gotten so many compliments. The best part? JORD watches are made from wood, which is sustainable!

The even better part? You can win $75 toward your own!

ENTER HERE

Contest ends 7/24/16 and everyone who enters will automatically get $20 toward a JORD watch of your own.

Rainbows in British Columbia : Wreck Beach

F21 Boxy Top // White Tunic // Kendra Scott Rayne Necklace // Leggings // SOREL Booties

Ryan and I knew that we wanted to catch the sunset at the beach near where we stayed at UBC. However... :) Wreck Beach is not only a fully nude beach, you've got to walk up and down 5 million stairs to get there and back. Little did we know that once our feet touched the sand, we were in for a naked surprise. Not that there is anything wrong with being nude, it's just not the place you'd envision when you're going to shoot photos for an outfit post.

All that aside, Wreck Beach was beautiful and we got lucky with this rainbow the entire time!
