Hey babes!! Happy Monday! Did everyone have a good weekend and a nice Mother's Day? 

I feel super lucky because I got to spend all of yesterday with my mom and dad :) I wore this amazing boho chic tie dye maxi dress from The Mint Julep Boutique yesterday for our Mother's Day festivities. SH and I popped over to the beach for a quick photoshoot before kicking off mom's day with some homemade breakfast and gifts, then I planted some succulents for mom as part of her Mother's Day gift lol and then mom and I went to Target to run some errands! A jam packed, fun day! No, I did not plant succulents in this dress lol it's way too pretty to get dirty! I did change back into it immediately after planting though because I'm obsessed! Have you guys heard of The Mint Julep Boutique any way?! They're an online retailer and all of their stuff is so cuuute! I guarantee you will wear this tie dye maxi dress all summer long. It's got two high slits which add a fun and sexy flair. It also has a pretty/sexy low back to show off those back muscles you're working on before bikini season ;) I paired it with a panama hat I got two seasons ago from J.Crew and a straw tasseled tote. To accessorize I added an arm party and some cute sunnies! I seriously want to wear this dress every weekend! The detailing is so cute and don't you just love the tie dye print? Thanks for reading!

J.O.A Top

I can't get enough of this off the shoulder top!!! I wore it out to dinner the other night for SH and my three year anniversary :) and I've gotten so many compliments on it! Pair it with some skinny jeans (white or black!) and platforms or wedges, start an arm party with tassel jewelry and you're good to go! I promise you'll be reaching for it all summer long!

8 Spring Date Ideas (many of which are free!)

1. Go on a picnic!
A spring picnic is the cutest date ever! There are lots of cute places to picnic in LA. If you are looking to head to a beautiful part of the coast that's not overcrowded, Point Vicente lighthouse is a nice spot with shaded picnic tables, a path for walking and a beautiful view. Bonus: There are lighthouse tours every second Saturday of the month!

2. Go on a hike.
This is a classic activity whether you are entertaining family from out of town, getting active with friends or bonding with your SO. Griffith, Runyon, The Sunken City and the Wisdom Tree are popular LA destinations. White Point Preserve is another fairly easy hike that I enjoy for an ocean breeze and coastal views.

3. Go paddleboarding! 
This is on my list for spring/summer 16!! I've never done it and I'd like to try!

4. Go for a walk on the beach. 
This is a year round favorite for SH and me since we live in a gorgeous climate. Head out at sunset for a romantic end to your day.

 5. Try something new together. 
Whether it's a workout class, pottery throwing, painting or cooking, get together with your beau or best friend and have a new experience together!

6. Cook a springy meal together. 
Some spring go-tos include greek salad and deviled eggs.

7. Binge watch a TV show and don't feel bad about it. 
Yes it's spring, but not all spring days are warm and beautiful or have to be spent outside! Laze about in your pajamas and binge watch, baby, binge watch. Take it up a notch from Netflix and chill.

8. Have a fitness battle. 
After your binge watching mayyybe you need to get that blood pumping. See who takes the most steps in a day and the loser buys dinner :)
