Happy Monday! On Saturday I returned to Dallas after a fabulous girl’s getaway with my favorite blogger buddies to Carmel. If you followed along on SnapChat (username: merrittbeck), you’ll know the weather was nothing short of incredible. It was sunny all week! While Carmel gets quite cool in the evening, it got pretty warm during the day because there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was the perfect opportunity to don some new favorites from J.McLaughlin!
In addition to featuring a bunch of light and bright summery styles, J.McLaughlin has an amazing array of layering pieces and chilly-weather essentials for your favorite destinations like Carmel, Cape Cod and The Hamptons. Here you’ll find casual (but polished) classics like soft cashmere capes, cardigans and lightweight sweaters, along with adorable stripes, beach-ready tunics, and breezy linen dresses.
Before you make a purchase, don’t forget to discover their beautiful collection of handbags and accessories. I’m obsessed with their clutches (I have three)!! Shop more of my J.McLaughlin faves below:

Love these outfits! J.McLaughlin is always such a go-to store for me. They have so many great pieces! What I don’t have though, are any of their bags or clutches. I need to get on that after your suggestion!

I can’t believe you were here in my hometown and I never saw you all!!!! I hope you had fun. That skirt is so amazing!!
Can’t decide which look I love the most – they are both so good! All of your posts and snaps about Carmel have definitely helped to put it on the ol’ vacation-getaway-bucket-list! Hope your Monday is off to a great start!
These pictures are so beautiful!!! Your trip looked like so much fun, adding it to my list!
Both of these looks are so cute! I loved seeing some of my favorite bloggers together! Looked like a fun weekend.
