I’m sad to say this is my last outfit post from Carmel… I want to go back right now! With all those upcoming weddings I don’t think I’ll make it back to Carmel until late summer/early fall, unfortunately. As I mentioned in this week’s EDIT, I’m a sucker for a good tunic. They’re perfect for packing when you’re going somewhere with unpredictable weather (ahem, Carmel), because you can wear them with or without pants depending on the level of warmth you need. I picked up this pretty printed tunic dress at Lilly Pulitzer in New York in February. My friend Patti invited me to this New York Junior League event at the store, so I scooped up this piece and some cute little starfish earrings at a discount (yay!). While I haven’t been able to don the dress with bare legs yet, I’m planning to wear it the weekend of my friend’s wedding in La Jolla in early April. Who else is ready for warm weather?! I’m hoping to get some of it and enjoy some lake time when I head down to Austin on Sunday. Hope you all have a great weekend!
PS – check back on Monday for an awesome giveaway featuring these gorgeous turquoise & diamond earrings from the Kendra Scott LUXE collection ($195 value).

Love how paired you it with white jeans for colder days, I would’ve never thought to do that!
Yes! I was hoping that a little Lilly would show up on your vacation. It’s a seaside essential. I love this caftan on you – the colors are gorgeous. (It’s hard to find something that isn’t overly preppy there.)
yay! thanks for coming to the event – great to meet you!
My boyfriend grew up going to vacations in Carmel and I cannot wait to go there. You look absolutely radiant!
The colors in that top look great on you! And I love those earrings!
