good vibrations

The blur was a total accident, but didn't this photo turn out cool?!
I love my super-stripe tee by Free People. It's so fun to play around with! There are so many ways to wear it; I'll have to show you guys when my photographer is here. Second, I found this vintage Coach bag at Goodwill! I cleaned and buffed it (I swear by this moisturizing body wash, I use it on all my leather), and now I use it every day.

Thank you to Danielle for being so sweet and passing along the One Lovely Blog award to me, Rania for the Trendy Blog award, and Kaylyn and Jen for the Stylish Blogger award. It makes me so excited to hear that you guys like zipped, as evidenced by the super sweet feedback you left on my last post. One comment even said they bookmarked it, which was a huuuuuge honor!
Neutral tones have been in for some time now, but lately I've noticed all of these ocean inspired hues. I think they'll be lovely for spring.
Ippolita, Herve Leger, Miu Miu, Narciso Rodriguez, Lanvin

Regarding the title, I've been listening to the Beach Boys allll morning...
