Ruffles On The Venice Beach Canals

Spring is honestly making me so so happy this year! The weather has been so amazing in Los Angeles that all I want to do is sit outside while sipping margaritas and munching on tacos. I did this very thing last week at Blue Plate Taco in Santa Monica after spending the evening strolling around the Venice Beach canals to take in the springtime sunset. It was the perfect temperature to wear light colored jeans and a ruffle tank (I also love this similar top). I tossed a pop of summer into my outfit by throwing on this straw sun hat but then balanced it out with my über comfy leopard espadrille Soludos. My Soludos espadrilles are so comfy, I could walk in them for miles. If you find yourself in Venice Beach, I highly recommend taking a walk through the canals (I like to start walking them at the southern end, right off Washington Blvd. and Dell Ave.) Afterward you can circle back to walk right out from where you started and eat at one of my new favorite LA spots, Leona.
