Malibu state of mind

Malibu state of mind

The ocean can immediately turn my state of being into that of bliss, peace, and pure relaxation.  I was lucky to have a weekend getaway in Malibu and split my time between the beach, the comfort of our rental balcony and couch, and indulging at a few yummy local restaurants.  My absolute favorite activity was simply snuggling up on the couch taking in the sights, sounds and smells of ocean.  The ocean is one of my most simple and favorite medicinal choices for my mind, body and soul.  

While majority of the time I was in a casual tee, shorts or bikini, my favorite go-to Malibu look is any kind of simple solid/nude toned dress, wedges and a floppy hat.  Simple solid dresses go with pretty much anything so when you throw on a floppy hat, immediately you are accessorized and ready to head out for the evening.  Floppy hats also let you get away with not having to fully style your hair and overall add so much 'oomph' to your look.  Further dress up and accessorize by choosing a purse that is a focal point of your outfit.  I chose a bright red purse to contrast the rest of my look.  Since everything else I wore was a nude tone/shade, my purse really stood out as my statement piece.
