I spent this past weekend in California shopping and laying at the beach with one of my best friends from high school. Pretty much the perfect weekend. She lives in the heart of Santa Monica just a few blocks away from some great local boutiques. While we were walking around on Saturday I found this amazing black pant jumpsuit from a little boutique called Veronica M. I’ve been trying to find a black maxi dress for summer, but when I saw the jumpsuit on the sale rack (such a steal for $30!) it was a no brainer. Plus, I was reading my new InStyle on the plane home and according to them the jumpsuit is the new maxi dress!

I paired the jumpsuit with my new panama hat for a laid back California look. I’m sure many of you have seen this hat everywhere. It’s definitely the “it” accessory for summer! Another must have accessory for summer…the perfect cross body bag.
THE OUTFIT: Black pant jumpsuit (on sale, similar here) // Panama hat – $24.50 (on sale) // Tory Burch all-t cross body – $325 // Tassel necklace – $40
