The graduations are over, and now summer has become a time to rest, reset, and think about a vacation! If you are like me, and had at least one graduation, you might be in the same spot. I had two graduations in my family and hadn’t thought about a vacation. As I decompress this week, I am starting to think I should plan a short and mellow trip. 2026 had been a hectic year already, so keeping things chill might be the right call.

When it comes to summer trips, I like comfortable clothing and shoes, as well as a handbag with a cross-body strap so I can comfortably sight-see. The canvas tote and belted tote pictured above are perfect for sight-seeing. They aren’t too big and have cross body straps.

In addition to summer plans, I wanted to give a shout-out to this hand soap. It’s eco-conscious and made in the USA. You can read my full review here.

Oversize tee and barrel jeans for summer

wearing: gold hoop earrings / oversize tee / summer nail polish / belted tote bag / barrel jeans / black boots /

Casual summer days, or should I say foggy summer days, are here! Summer fog is the perfect time to rock a pair of funky barrel jeans and a comfy, oversize tee.

I recently wore this combo out to lunch with my family. We enjoyed lunch at “It’s Dumpling Time” at the Stanford Shopping Center. It was really yummy, and fun to spend time with my college age children since they are home for summer vacation. Love!

Barrel jeans are a fun trend in denim this year, and I love how this pair can be ordered in various lengths and waist sizes. It makes it easy to find the right size without having to worry about alternations. Plus, they are really comfortable. Love that!

It will be fun to wear these jeans over the summer as well as into the fall and winter seasons. They are year-round jeans!

Also, if you like dumplings, It’s Dumpling Time has yummy xlb dumplings. I highly recommend them!
