I recently discovered this little area in downtown Santa Ana that feels so incredibly Southern to me (and it was even incredibly hot and humid the day we snapped these photos, so you know that’s definitely a quick trip home), and paired with this dress it was honestly like I was suddenly transported back to the South. I even followed up this photo sesh with fried chicken and biscuits at 4th Street Market (if you live in OC you guys have to visit this place it’s amaze!) – like… what could be more appropriate!?
In addition to gushing over this sweet dress, I also wanted to share with you guys this Dittos Endless Eyewear program. You pay a flat fee of $19 per month and you can constantly rotate between different designer shades. You can keep a pair for months at a time or switch them out as often as you like, AND should you choose to want to keep the pair forever, you can use your credit to snag ’em. If you’re interested in being a part of the program you can get your first month FREE with code CBLied!

Just want to say that I LOVE your blog. You are so relatable, and I genuinely look forward to reading it each morning when I first get to work. I wouldn’t normally comment, but I really wanted to know what color your nail polish is. Love it!
Hotty Toddy!
Oh my gosh you have no idea how much I appreciate this comment. THANK YOU so much for your kind words – I always strive to be transparent, and it means so much to me that you feel that CBL is relatable. BUT on the nail polish topic – this is a gel polish color from the nail salon, but I find it really similar to Orly’s “tie the knot.” I hope that helps!
