    Hi Loves!

    I am so excited about this subscription box! Seriously its not just a “subscription” box, but an entire service. First, go to their website HERE. Then you fill out your profile with your sizes for different pieces of clothes. Then the computer shows you photos to choose from. So I pick the “looks” that I like, and then I pick those style photos that I hate. Lastly, connect your social media, ie your Instagram. After all that your personal stylist reviews everything and chooses items to send you!! Voila!!

    You do get to edit once. Basically, if you don’t like something respond to your stylist’s email ASAP and she will replace/change those items before sending your box to you. Now for the clothes right?! Well I’ve been debating do I show you what I didn’t like/choose first or the pretty things that I loved? Hmmm, what to do? Haha!

    Well lets talk about the items that were NOT really me. Being a fashion blogger I have a good handle of what fits my frame really well. I saw the off the shoulder top and usually this is my jam, but this style was too overpowering.

    Next was the dress that I showed you on Instastories. I had a dress in high school that was for choir group that looked like this one. So I am not a fan of long lace dresses lol. The color is more brown tone than wine by the way. Not for me.

    They sent this little necklace too. Cute, just not my style really. OK NOW FOR THE ITEMS I LOVED!!!

    AM I RIGHT?!?!? So crazy about these jeans. They have to be the softest most flexible pair I have ever tried on. They have the perfect amount of rip too which is a major bonus.

    This crop top continues to fuel my obsession. It was a satin type fabric with the most fun cut-out back, almost like a racerback.

    Next is a simple, but chic slip dress. The dress is real silk and so flirty!

    I’m in love with this soft fabric. I was worried it might be a bit short, but I think this makes my legs look longer after all lol.

    And the final look is my favorite by far. If I could have designed my dream jumpsuit this is it! Get ready for photo overload haha.

     

     

    What are YOU waiting for?!? Sign up for this awesome styling service. I’m so excited I tried this subscription box. I’ll link it down below.

    Hi Loves!

    I am super excited to bring you the first of my looks from the cutest online retailer ZAFUL . I am crazy about summer style and even though it might be cooling off already in some states, not at all here in Phoenix. It is still way over 100 degrees. Awhile back, I chose my summer wishlist see post here, this is my LATEST take on the off the shoulder and crop top trend!

     

    I was super excited to get this skirt in the mail. It is the perfect summer print and can be worn to dress up a bit, which is how I styled it, or even as a swim suit cover up!

     

     

    I knew these cute chandelier earrings in my latest box from L.V. Kiki would be perfect with this fun flirty look!

     

    The lace crop top is so darling on. This just fuels my summer long obsession with crop tops this year lol. Btw the next few upcoming posts may have a few more crops tops coming up!!

     

     

    I had been looking for a black wedge for awhile now. I was super excited to find these (they come in other colors too). I’ll link them below!

     

    Skirt: ZAFUL; More high waisted skirts: HERE!!!

    Crop Top: ZAFUL

    Sandals: Macy’s –on sale!!

    Ellie Activewear August Box

    Hey Babes!

    I have the best news about Ellie Activewear . I just found out that they are now offering a second box for subscribers. The original box includes a 3 piece outfit (a bra, a top and a legging) and 2 workout items (total 5 items), such as the ab roller wheel that I got in my last box (check out that post HERE ). Now you can get the outfit only for $39.95. This is such a good deal. Now if you want the original box you can still get it for $49.95.

    I love the quality of the activewear chosen for each month’s box. The sports bra comes with removable padding and the orange/red details are so cute!

    I love how the materials allow you the stretch and move easily.

    The tank top is very lightweight and has an airy feel about it.

    Trying to keep up my Barre3 balancing pose. It only lasted for a second because I fell over right after haha!

    The legging details are cute and breathable. The mesh panels help air to circulate during your workout.

    Ellie includes the most darling rose gold gym backpack. I love that you can pack you outfit and go straight to workout in this bag!

    Hey Babes!

    I recently had a fun escape to Cottonwood, AZ. Its a great town with a retro main street filled with cute shops and great restaurants, but best of all wine tasting rooms!

    I wanted to be comfortable but cute. So I chose my new demin shorts with this pretty eyelet top!

    The jewlery was sent to me by Charming Charlie and I loved all the picks. The mint green stud earrings and the silver and gold bangels are so versatile. I love the oversize pink agate stone! This is a necklace I would not have chosen myself , but I LOVE the style now.

    The dainty bangles are so darling, and they have printed sayings on him ” live what you love”.

    The mint green stone post earrings are so pretty and can be styled with several outfits.

    The straw festival hat is perfect for a daytrip or a country concert!

    Cottonwood’s main street is lined with vintage shops. I found the sweetest gold clutch purse–very retro. Cottonwood has the best small town feel.

    The back detail on this eyelet top is my favorite part. ( I may have accidentally washed it with my new jeans and it is currently ruined (insert crying)).

    Top: Shein (under $20!)

    Necklace: Charming Charlie

    Shoes: Steve Madden

    Denim Shorts: Rue 21

    Hat: Scala Hat

    Bag: sold out; Similar

    Hi Lovelies

    I wanted to tell you about a new product that I just received. Its a makeup applicator called Sonicblend. Now this is not just any electronic brush, this has such a superior quality of application! The Sonicblend to begin with has antimicrobial properties so the brush head stays cleaner longer. Now for the application part, the Sonicblend rotates faster than any other makeup brush at up to 400 micro-movements per second. This results in a natural airbrushed look every time!

     

    First, choose your liquid foundation to start. You’ll just need a small dab really. I use the back of my hand, but there are makeup palettes or even a small ceramic dish.

    The brush speed is programmed for the easiest of applications. It easily charges for use with the USB cord that it included. This brush stays charged for many uses, not just the one time.

    The brush can be used to apply various cream products, such as highlighter, bronzers or a cream blush tint. The brush is so advance that it uses:

    • “Intuitive patent based technology that uses sonic movements to prevent clumping by dispersing individual granules of makeup into wrinkles, enlarged pores & fine lines for a 3D flawless makeup application”–Sonicblend

    The cream blush seemed better to try than a powder version for better refined control. The Sonicblend does apply powder makeup too.

    See how natural it goes on!

    This is the finished application up close!

    I really love the natural looking coverage you get with the Sonicblend beauty brush. I am not a beauty blogger at all. I am actually quite inept at makeup overall haha. I love this brush which helps me make the process fool-proof! I’ll link the brush below.

  • Dress Up Shorts

    Dress Up Shorts

    Hi Loves

    I have always loved seeing when someone styles a pair of shorts into something more fancy or chic. I’ve always worn denim shorts or workout shorts, but this is the first pair of more dressy shorts that I’ve bought.

    I really like the longer length and the bow belt. This little touch is so cute!

    I styled this outfit with a pair of wedges (figured my legs would look longer) haha!

    This off the shoulder top is from my favorite online boutique, Balia Boutique . I am loving blue and white so much lately–the color combo is such a simple one really, but it feels vacay ready!

    The detached sleeves with the ruched look are so much fun! It feels more chic with this style overall.

    I am crazy about summer style. I can live in sundresses and shorts. I am not a fan of bulky sweaters or big coats (felt frumpy in Kansas City with all the layers you have to wear). I get so cold that I could never pull off the chic look of having your coat draped over your shoulders. I need to never leave Phoenix or move back to Miami forever maybe!

    Summer Essentials Mini Post

    Hi Loves!

    Its already August! I can’t believe how fast this summer is going by. I wanted to share with all you a few of my summer favorites that I loving right now. Get ready and scroll on down!

    Sunglasses: Zero UV These are such a cool iced pink color with a subtle cat eye. This company has really cute styles and most are around $10. Yup, that’s right!!!

    Cranberry Sugar Body Scrub: Lather This sugar scrub has pieces of little cranberries in it! Ok so this makes me super happy haha. It leaves your skin soft and smooth and it isn’t overly oily as some body scrubs can be (won’t name which company –it’s one everybody likes, but me).

    True Lemon Natural Flavor Packets: True Lemon has many flavors such as lime, orange, wild berry lemonade, and peach lemonade. I am the worst at drinking water and these all natural flavor packets really help my daily intake. No scary chemical fake sugar wannabes here.

    Cute flamingo water bottle: Need I say more. Its a flamingo, it has an M, its super cute you can find it at Dawlens

    Magazines: I have always had a love of magazines, especially for reading while lounging on my pool float. This 435 Magazine is all about my hometown of Kansas City and the fun new happening things going on there. It makes me miss home, but I love keeping up on how hip KC has become.

    Lip Tints & Sunscreen: Babo Botanicals has such great sun protectant products. I love these Lip Tints with SPF 15 and a hint of color. The facial sunscreen is formulated for sensitive skin and SPF 40 for daily wear. Here in Phoenix the sun is why we all live here, but no one wants melanoma or any kind of skin damage. Hence, cover up your lips too–the most delicate skin on your face after your eyelids!!

    Gorgeous Gold Tube Cream Blusher: Box of Style This Beauty Counter product is a two in one product for cheeks and lips. This product hydrates and goes on smoothly. It came in my subscription box for the summer from Rachel Zoe. Use this code to get your summer box: PRETTYSSU10

    Let me know in the comments below one of your favorite product for the summer!

    Euro Chic Polka Dots

    Hi Loves,

    I recently connected with the lovely Harpreet Maan . She is a fellow fashion blogger who has been busily creating her first collection. I first saw her designs in person a few months ago and I fell in LOVE!

    This stunning two piece outfit is my favorite thing that I have featured in a long time! I like a wide leg pant so much because they make you look taller and leaner! This palazzo pant leg really stands out with the fabric being so lightweight.

    The details on the top are so pretty with the satin trim, the front bow and the cut-out!

    I wanted to keep the jewelry equally as chic and elegant, so I chose a simple thin bangle, a small pendent necklace along with my favorite modern edge circle earrings.

    I had so much fun shooting this outfit. It made me wish I was on a yacht in the Mediterranean!

    We were welcomed this day at L’Auberege in Sedona. It was a beautiful overcast day, which was a nice change from too much sun here in Phoenix.

    I ordered up some Rosé and promptly started planning how to move into the resort forever haha!

    The restaurant is located on the banks of the creek itself and it was so peaceful and beautiful.

    Lunch was delicious and so perfect. They even had Gluten Free bread so I was in heaven!!

    Cheers babes! I loved strutting around L’Auberge in this beautiful creation. Go on over and check out Harpreet’s designs, as she is now making custom apparel. Her fabrics are being imported from India and you never have to worry about showing up to an event and living the dreaded “someone else is wearing your dress” (yes it happened to me at the Red Dress event…sigh).

    Designer: Harpreet Maan

    Necklace: Norstrom (now on sale!)

     Earrings: Adornmonde–Ivo earrings

    Brave Wings Fashion Show

    Hi Babes

    This past weekend I attended a special fashion show that promotes local design talent as the main show. They look to support a different charity each year in order to give back to the community.

    –Photo provided by Russ Paperman

    I was lucky enough to be a featured fashion blogger in attendance this year with my fellow blogger gals. From left to right: Kate Berkley a new Phoenix transplant, who is a beauty blogger, me, then the lovely Siara Rochell, the most fun gal Laci Leigh, and finally the always elegant Neyda.

    —photo provided by Russ Paperman

    It seems always like a bit of pressure to pick what you should wear to a fashion event lol. Most people there as so into fashion and their knowledge is so high. This year I chose a simple jumpsuit with a lower heel (always seems to be a lot of standing at these events). I decided to choose jewelry that was bolder than I usually wear to offset the simple design of the jumpsuit.

    –photo provided by Russ Paperman

    The show featured several local designers with very varied outlooks. Some of it bordered on what I consider more couture design (a bit out there for me haha), one designer even featured swimwear.

    The event was held at the new F.A.B.R.I.C. building in Tempe, AZ. This is the new home for various companies that all focus on fashion design, construction and mostly importantly instruction in that they provide classes in sewing, pattern making, design and manufacturing.

    One of my favorite designers was YANDY . They feature sexy lingerie and swimwear. I loved the different looks from racy to a bit more demure. Down below is a snipet of the actual show!

     

    The Tiger Lily Dress Shop showcased some almost Flamenco inspired dresses which I LOVED! Sorry about the photos not being so great. I’m the worst at taking photos during the shows. I just watch and drool over all the fabrics and the pretty dresses!

    I did manage to get a little video of these super fun dresses. Check it out down below!

     

    My final favorite designer was Mabellachic. I loved these really cute pants with a gathered/ruched hemline at the ankle. I got one really fast photo as the model walked past me. These gals seem to walk faster and faster each year haha!

    I love the idea of raising charitable funds at the same time giving emerging local designers the chance to show their hard work to a very appreciative audience. Thanks Brave Wings for inviting me!

    Hey Loves

    I just tried a great new product for you skin. I love getting the chance to try a product and report back to you what I think. This is about Simplicity Skincare.

    I was intrigued by the bottle design, which has two chambers. One side for the moisturizer and the other for hyaluronic acid. This combination creates a balance for your skin with the accepting of the moisture and the actual adding of moisture.

    I’ve been using the superior serum for about a week now and I like how my skin feels smoother and not greasy at all. The flakiness that I have by living in the desert has drastically improved. I’m truly loving this product!

    Now the best news ever! You too can try out Simplicity Skincare. They are hosting a giveaway for my readers, which you can enter on the link below!
