Crocheted Bag (Handmade by my grandma)

After spending the morning at the beach last Friday, my sisters and I stopped by Los Rios Street in San Juan Capistrano. I visited this place several times last year (you might remember it from this post), since it was the most convenient halfway point for my best friend Laura and I to meet while she still lived in San Diego. The street is very picturesque and has many cute shops, and there even is a butterfly sanctuary where you can observe the monarchs that are abundant in this area. There is also a cool and cozy coffee shop called Hidden House Coffee at the end of the street. Although I’m a creature of habit and lattes tend to be my drink of choice at coffee shops, I decided to be a bit adventurous this time around, and ordered one of Hidden House’s specialty drinks called “The Crush”; I was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of this concoction, which consisted of orange crush soda, chocolate espresso and milk. I guess I really should make an effort to try new things every once in a while.

This black jersey maxi dress is also something that you’ve seen before on this blog. I wore it over my bathing suit because it’s so easy to take off and put back on again. Another great thing about a black maxi dress is that you can easily add different accessories to achieve different styles. This time around, I styled it with a camel fedora hat and crocheted bag for a more casual look that was perfect for a day of exploring.
