  • Spring boho vibes

    Spring boho vibes

    Hello Loves!

    I officially have Spring fever. We finally got our cold snap and I am now ready for flowy dresses and off the shoulder looks again. The boho trend will still be strong this year. I love the print on my dress. I liked that it wasn’t the typical floral, but a cool almost paisley print instead.

    The dress has pretty details like the more cold shoulder design. I love the wine color trim that gives such a great contrast to the print pattern.

    I kept the styling to a more casual feel. These booties are still favorites of mine from last year. I found this year’s version and I will link them down below (super cute too!).

    I love a good neutral boot that you can explore in! Don’t you?!?

    I am crazy about the sleeves on this dress. The sleeves give a little coverage on your arms, but mostly adds to the small details of this cute dress.

    Spring Boho Dress

    I love dresses that feel feminine, but also can be worn without worrying about messing them up at all!  Here are some wish list boho dresses that I’m crushing on right now.

    I hope that you are feeling a bit of Spring fever now haha! I hope my wish list above helps you with some fun suggestions for new outfits. I will link my exact dress down below for you. Hurry only a few left though and its just under $22!

  • Cozy Plaid For Cool Days

    Cozy Plaid For Cool Days

    Hello Lovelies

    I am so excited to break my plaid wear finally! It seems winter found us here in Phoenix and so did the rain.

    I love slightly cool weather, not 30 degrees haha. For me layering on soft plaid tops or in this case this shirtdress is just perfect.

    I styled this dress with my over the knee tall boots so the skin exposure was at a minimum for warmth! I picked up my favorite chai tea latte and looked forward to exploring the farmers market.

    It was a bit windy this day and my hat kept trying to fly off!

    I love buying the bunches of wildflowers that are for sale at the famers market. They are so pretty and not pre-packaged! I look for flowers with different textures instead of the regular red roses from the store.

    Its nice to stay warm with this soft plaid dress. It has a drawstring waist so you can eat more on your lazy days!

    I always pick up tomatoes, because I love the taste of home grown ones so much more than the grocery kind. What do always buy during a farmer’s market run in your town?

    Oh my gosh those radishes looked amazing too! I found some more super cute plaid dress for you to check out!

    Dress: Zaful

    Boots: zulily

    Hat: Charlotte Russe

    Hope you like the fun plaid dresses! Leave me a comment down below on which one was your favorite.

     

  • Ellie Activewear for a New Year

    Ellie Activewear for a New Year

    Hello Loves

    I am here to admit I’ve lived in Phoenix since 2005 and have never been hiking! Ellie Activewear sent me a new workout outfit to feature and I thought why not try this?!? I asked my friend Karin to go since she is the hiking expert. This mountain is right behind our neighborhood (like a 5 min drive) practically and I finally tried it.

    This month’s Ellie box contains three pieces for their small box. The FIT tee is so cute and made of the softest breathable cotton. I am wearing the small. The second item is a white sports bra with black trim and straps—so cute. I am wearing a small.

    The last item is these leggings. I loved them when I got them so much. The criss cross details are so cute. I always get a medium in my pants ( I’m a bit bigger in the behind area lol).

    We actually took Karin’s dogs with us for the hike this day. They love it up there. I left my dogs at home. Cleo pulls like crazy and Whiskey always lunges and wants to fight with big dogs…sigh so unruly!

    This is Kippy, he is a Border Collie rescue, who does agility and is a barn hunt champion! He is so sweet and such a monster too haha!

    This photo cracks me up. He was pulling to go back down and I’m so used to little dogs. He is so strong!

    The view towards my neighborhood in Moon Valley is so pretty from the mountainside.

    You can still get this outfit for January 2018 box from Ellie Activewear  for $39.95! Get outside and enjoy!

  • Neutrogena Skincare Review

    Neutrogena Skincare Review

    Hello Lovelies

    I am here to share my experience using two new Neutrogena products. First being their Lightweight Sunscreen and the second being their Rapid Wrinkle repair. Ok here we go!

    All The Prettys-Neutrogena Review

    I’ve been using these products for almost a month now. I wanted to really see if I had any weird problems and if I saw any difference too, before writing up my review. Sometimes as bloggers we have certain deadlines to meet, but I try to give products a chance to have time to work or not to work.

    All The Prettys-Neutrogena Review

    I am really loving my skin with this hydrating cream. I feel it melts my fine lines more subtly away. The product is a combination of three main ingredients. First being a retinol, which smoothes away wrinkles and reduces the discolorations of the skin, next it contains a glucose complex, and lastly a hyaluronic acid which is the major hydrating factor in the cream.

    I have always said I use sunscreen, but truthfully I never use a separate sunscreen (just SPF mixed in my mineral makeup). I figured it would be like the sunscreen you wear for pool days; all thick and coconut scented haha, boy was I wrong.

    The blendability is really good, the sunscreen does not drag at all. It absorbs really easily. For my concerns, the non-comedogenic factor is super important. This means it does not clog your skin, which for my skin translates into I won’t break out haha. Neutrogena’s sunscreen line contains Helioplex technology, which is a combination of five different sun blocking agents that protect your skin against UVA and UVB damage. The surprising thing that none of these ingredients is zinc oxide, which was the main sunscreen ingredient for years.

    So I hope this gives you a good idea about these two products. Feel free to ask me any questions down below. I will do my best to answer them and let you know more in depth what I thought.

    Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair (under $30!)

    Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Suncreen (under $11)

  • Black Velvet….if you please!

    Black Velvet….if you please!

    Hello Loves,

    Well its time to ring in the New Year. I know that most of the country is in a deep freeze, but its been crazy warm here. Usually Phoenix has a winter haha, but for this past week its been 75 degrees most days. AS soon as the sun sets, it does get desert cold. I wanted to style two outfits to wear for NYE that featured sparkles and pants! This is my second look, for the first post check out that look HERE.

    I found this pretty black velvet blazer and layered it over my black sequins bustier. I wanted to stay covered with a hint of sexy!

    This gorgeous statement layered necklace was perfect for the First NYE look and I loved the way it styled perfectly with this look too.

    Nothing sends a party vibe like jewels and sparkles! I found this cocktail ring on sale for $3! It was pure luck!

    I actually own two pairs of velvet jeans (one is a size bigger than the other for those times when I’ve eaten waaaay too much).

    The staying warm but looking good idea for NYE is hard. I usually like skirts or dresses for sure. This was fun trying something different. I hope that you liked it. Leave me a comment down below with what you think! Meantime, wishing you all lovely people a Happy New Year!!

    Blazer: Velvet Blazer

    Denim: NYDJ or Old Navy (less than $20)

    Sandals: Norstrom (so many colors I own 2 pairs)

    Necklace: L.V. Kiki

    Ring: on clearance for $3 (if you want one I’ll go to the H & M store for ya lol–leave me a comment if you do!)

     

  • NYE Shimmer

    NYE Shimmer

    Hey Babes!

    I have been trying a few different looks for NYE. Now I totally get that in Phoenix our weather can let me pick any type of outfit that I want (lucky me)! Still I wanted to style my new statement necklace with a couple of choices. This post will feature Look Number One!

    These pants are amazing. First crushed velvet is baaaack…thank you fashion Gods! The best thing tho is these pants let you eat too haha! When I was little my Mom bought me a two piece short and tank top made out of blue crushed velvet outfit and the obsession began then! I will have to find a photo and post this sometime lol.

    I found this draped tank for under $10. It provided just the right amount of shimmer to my NYE look. This new two piece separates are a bit more chic than my Mom’s choice right?!?!

    I love the dark metallics of this necklace and my new ring was perfect for this look.

    When you stumble across the mirror sandals of your dreams for under $10 one fine summer day at Ross! Lol I forget I own these and forget these were my fave shoes for dancing!

    So this shoot has a funny back story. The photos taken against the brick building were at great risk to my safety. You see according to the owner of that building something could have come loose and fallen down and hit me in the head…as I stood on a very public sidewalk lol. Yup, we were approached by the owner and told to basically leave. Really?!? So in protest I will not name his silly place so there! If you meet my lovely photographer Rachel you’ll have to ask her about this day haha!

    Look Two coming very soon! Keep an eye on my blog and Instagram for the other outfit choice for NYE!

    Top: H & M (under $10!!)

    Velvet Pants: Anthropologie (on sale $39.95 and extra 30% off all sale)–they come in Olive green too btw

  • Classics & Plaid

    Classics & Plaid

    Hey Babes

    It is finally cool enough to bring out the plaid here in Phoenix. I love the feel of the heavier fabric, but mostly the fun mix of colors that you can pick from!

    I was looking for a fun location to shoot this that wasn’t tied to a Christmas only theme, then I remembered this fun retro inspired burger place in Northern Arizona. Loved this red classic car which turned into a fun back drop!

    Isn’t it funny how sometimes things just work out and become kinda fun, not planned.

    Loved the authentic gas station/car hop feel of this place so much.

    The classic red and blue print of the plaid is for sure cute, but I chose the dress because of the uneven hemline. I paired the look with simple tall stone/grey colored boots. My Ray Bans and some simple circle earrings. Easy and cute too!

     

    I love the fun throw back feel with this shoot and the price point of the dress haha! I will link everything for you down below. Happy Shopping!

    Dress: Zaful

    Boots: Zuliliy ( under $40!)

    Sunnies: Ray Bans

    Earrings: Jennifer Janesko

  • December with Ellie Activewear & Dat Mat

    December with Ellie Activewear & Dat Mat

    Hello Babes!

    This month is so the worst for me with all the running around and eating! No not healthy, just junk lol. And my favorite cocktails too…sigh. The Ellie Activewear people have done it again thankfully. Getting my monthly box in the mail just is so motivating. Love getting excited about moving!

    This month’s 3 piece outfit is just the cutest. The bright blue top has a mesh back. The sports bra has matching mesh on the front too.

    The pant is a crop style with the colors playing with the top. My top is size small, the sports bra is a small and my pants are medium.

    This is the first time I’ve felt that one of my Ellie pieces didn’t fit me right. I have a really long torso and the top is a few inches short lol. A tad cold for December even in Phoenix haha.

    Now for my mat! This gorgeous print is actually a design by local Phoenix artist Paige Poppe. The company Dat Mat reached out to me to try one of their mats.  I was so excited when I saw this print! Such a fun surprise!

    They send you your own carry bag too, which was so nice. I saw such cute designs on their websites from donuts to french bulldogs! I will link them below. Would make such an awesome gift for someone!

    Ellie Activewear (makes a great gift $39.95!!)

    DAT MAT (SALE right now of buy one may and the next one is 50% off)

    Shoes: Nike

     

  • Looking Back

    Looking Back

    Hi Loves!

    As the year wraps up, I find that the fun holiday parties are what gets my styling current going. I love trying new looks with each post. As much as I go for long ballgown dresses or long flowy looks, I try to push myself outside of my comfort zone. Did you see the Finale Night of Phoenix Fashion Week post?! Whoa that dress needed a lot of double sided tape and maybe just a few more centimeters of fabric lol, but I LOVED it.

     

    I usually order feminine full skirts or more conservative dresses, but there was a little part of me that wanted to try this dress out!

    These are fine little metallic studs, although they look like polka dots though haha!

    The clutch is my Mom’s vintage bag. I love the textures and the clasp of this bag.

    I shot this look in the Crossroad area in Kansas City. This is where First Fridays is held during the warmer months. Most of the buildings have been around for a long time. I really like the industrial look of the area. Leave me a comment if you already have your New Year’s look picked out!

    Dress: Sara Boo–sale and

    Shoes: Vince Camuto

    Clutch: vintage (my Mom’s);

    RIng: lost forever:( …. Try this! or This one!

  • Elegant Holiday Look

    Elegant Holiday Look

    Hello Lovelies

    I absolutely LOVE dressing up (even though as I write this I’m wearing a mismatched sweatshirt, blue socks, and black sweatpants LOL)! For the holidays, I found this beautiful lace midi dress that just looked so elegant.

    I can totally see myself wearing this to the ballet or the symphony to see the Nutcracker!

    The skirt has a beautiful dark floral painted onto the silk organza fabric. It has a crystalline shimmer to the overall look of the skirt.

    The bodice is made of beautiful lace details. The higher neckline does not require any jewelry so I paired only a bold earring with this and a dainty bangle.

    My Badgley Mischka shoes were perfect for this dress with the delicate jewels.

    My photographer, Jacqueline and always seem to have fun! A lot of my photos are me laughing hugely or making weird faces!

    I’m thinking this dress would be perfect for flamenco too!

    The dress actually comes with a pretty satin sash, but the eternal problem of being a long torso girl is that my waist is six inches lower that the end of this lace bodice haha.

    I’m loving the mixing of textures this season. I actually kept this look a bit more Christmas traditional. Lately I’ve been trying more edgier styles, but I always go back to more elegant looks. I hope that your holiday season is filled with parties and pretty dresses too! Check out Stylewe for other dress options! Let me know below what you think of this look! Thanks for reading!
