Early Morning Grind | Captain’s Grounds

Jen Hawkins california street style on Palms to Pines style blog
One morning last week, I got up early, put Lo in the car, and headed down to Oceanside to get some work done with my friend Rusty Spencer.  (Lo LOVES to play with his little pug, Finch.  They are a match made in heaven!)  We met up at my favorite little spot in Oceanside – Captain’s Grounds.  I splurged on a dirty chai with almond milk.  It was amazing, both because they made it so…

Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck…and this Romper

Jen Hawkins retro beach style on Palms to Pines style blog
Today I’m posting because I finally have photos of the romper I wear way too much, and because I’ve had so many people ask me where it’s from.  Also because I took photos with Rusty Spencer and he’s the coolest, and the truck he brought was pretty cool too ;).  Guys, trust me when I say you NEED this romper (probably in every color)! Black Romper | One-Shoulder Bodysuit | Black Booties | Driving Cap | Sunglasses Black…

Oxford water dress | Jen Hawkins Palms to Pines style blog
New fall arrivals from The Oxford Trunk – I’m obsessed with this sweater dress.  Trust me, you’ll want to live in it. Turtle-neck Sweater Dress | Camel Overcoat | Over-the-knee Boots | Sunnies | Beanie | Gold Rings Pumpkin Everything.  So, I’ve avoided the subject of pumpkin so far this fall, but I had a pumpkin souffle last night and it must have opened Pandora’s box.  Sorry but I’m not sorry.  That, and I’m officially off Whole30, which…

Rib Knit Sweater Dress

Ribbed Knit Sweater Dress | OOTD Jen Hawkins on Palms to Pines fashion blog
It’s finally cool enough around here to wear my fall stuff, just as all the winter stuff is coming out ;).  Isn’t that the way it goes?  But I do love this sweater dress enough that I’ll keep it around for our California “winter”.  It could also be a good one for Thanksgiving dinner, depending on where you live!

Mock Neck & Wrap Skirt | Costa Cabana

Costa Cabana wrap skirt and more on Jen Hawkins of Palms to Pines style blog
I love shopping online, especially when it comes to big department stores.  But there are a few places that I still LOVE to actually go visit the store – Costa Cabana is that spot for me here in Costa Mesa.  The store is so cute and fun to be in, but I also know they are going to have the newest & cutest stuff from my favorite brands.  I was in there last week and…

The Oxford Trunk on Jen Hawkins of Palms to Pines fashion blog
This Plaid Shirt from The Oxford Trunk. Plaid Blouse | Necklace The Test That Tells You Who You “Should” Vote For.  Who else feels as confused and frustrated with the election as I do?  One of the most annoying parts of this election is that the candidates have spent so much time battling with each other that I STILL don’t know what policies they stand for.  This is a fun test that tells you where your alliances to…

RiSE Festival 2016 | Mojave Desert

We just had such a special weekend together, and I’m left with a feeling I get a lot.  It’s a mixture of feeling so grateful for Blake and this ache of missing the rest of our family who are so far away.  Does that ever go away?  I don’t think so. We were lucky to get to go to the RiSE Festival for the third time.  It’s always hard to find the words to explain…

Printed Tunic Top | California Fall

Printed tunic top on Jen Hawkins Palms to Pines
I can’t believe October has creeped in!  I wish the weather here matched how I’m feeling – I’ve been seeing pictures of the fall leaves with lots of envy.  I think Blake is really sick of me saying how much I want to be in the mountains right now, but I can’t help it.  I feel like living in California always puts me behind on the holidays.  It just doesn’t seem right to put up…

Nordstrom Slip dresses on Palms to Pines style blog
Last night I went to a party hosted by James Michelle (maker of my amazing cuff rings you see on here so often!) and Cleobella.  I finally got to meet Jamie of James Michelle, caught up with some old friends, and made some new ones.  I wish I had more pictures from the actual party because it was beautiful!  But I do have photos of what I wore…;) Slip Dresses. I’m super into slip dresses, especially…
