    Art Deco Elegance

    Hi Loves,

    I loved this shoot so much. It was a quick one because the lobby was full of guests haha, but I tried my best to show you some beautiful features of the Hotel Phillips in Kansas City. Next time, I need to plan a time to shoot in their gorgeous speakeasy bar area and especially their ballroom!

    The hotel has dark wood paneling and original iron work throughout. The floors and walls are marble with rich tones everywhere. It is surprisingly hip not stuffy.

    The hotel was established in 1931 during the height of the downtown era in Kansas City. Think Prohibition times, complete with a hidden gem of a speakeasy, called, get this, P.S. Speakeasy! I’ll link the Hotel Phillips down below complete with videos highlighting the downtown area.

    I knew I wanted a very simple look to feature the elegance of the room. I loved this pink satin wrap dress when I saw it on another blogger babe, but best of all its under $25!

    One perk of being home is having access to my Mom’s vintage purses!

    I met the sweetest photographer and her husband at the Hotel that day. She offered to shoot my photos of the famous green sofa. They are a team of photographers that typically shoot weddings, but she is looking to start shooting with bloggers! I’m hoping that there will be future collaborations during her Phoenix trip in November.

    Bold Steps

    Hey Babes!

    I am loving the fun loose fitting pants for this season. Stripes look good wide or more narrow. Now, this time I really went BOLD for my choice. Usually these colors and stripes would not be my first choice, but I just went for it!

    The pant is more of a lightweight fabric, but they are fully lined which will keep me warm as the temperature finally drops here. I plan on pairing these with a solid black turtleneck for cooler days. Think a la Audrey Hepburn!

    This bright and sunny day was perfect for exploring the Country Club Plaza Shopping district in Kansas City.

    The fun part about visiting KC is getting to borrow my Mom’s vintage bags!

    I really kept my jewelry super simple with making the pants the focal point (as if you could miss them?!? Haha!). The gorgeous threaders are on sale now and from a local KC jewelry designer. I may have picked up a few more pieces during this trip, so stay tuned!

    Kansas City Obsessed

    Hi Loves,

    So its no secret that I’m a fan of my hometown, Kansas City. Funny thing is when I was living there, I couldn’t wait to move to a bigger city with a cooler vibe. Well, the joke is on me! KC grew up and became a hip town.

    Come on and follow me for a tour lol! No not really, I need a tour guide anymore. I feel like a tourist and want to check out all the cool spots. These Spanish Steps are located on the Country Club Plaza and have led to the McCormick & Schmick’s Restaurant at the top for years now. At least this hasn’t changed…yet!

    I love how the blue and white stripes on my jumpsuit matched the stairs perfectly! Thanks Plaza for the help with my photoshoot haha! This whole look was fun yet comfortable. I love wandering in and out of the stores on the Plaza in these heels which are so cozy.

    Here I go again claiming my stairs!

     

    I love this simple cross body bag. Aren’t the tassel details just the cutest?! An amazing surprise from the Rachel Zoe Box of Style.

    I always try to not over-accessorize. Sometimes I still might go a little too far haha!

    These earrings are by far my favorite and are by a Kansas City local jewelry designer. I’ll link her info down below!

  • Mountain Retreat

    Mountain Retreat

    Hey Loves,

    I recently spent some time, when my Mom was in town, at Mountain Shadows resort. It is such a beautiful place to visit. It has an old Hollywood feel. I love the simple lines and vibe of this resort.

    I wanted to style a look that would play up those lines and what better than my cute new pants!  This wide leg style can be so flattering. I really love the subtle stripe print, and I decided to pair a simple cork wedge with this look so as to not detract from the clean look of the pant.

    To those of you that have know me or have been following me for a bit now know that my hair is never straight haha!

    I recently got my L.V. Kiki subscription box and want to wear these modern lined earrings with this look.

    My pendant necklace is also from a previous L.V. Kiki box. Don’t they send me the best stuff?!?

    On most Friday nights, Mountain Shadows hosts a Veuve Clicquot Champagne Toast, where the bottle is uncorked by saber!

    Those mountain views are amazing! I wish my lawn looked this green lol. Please send help haha!

    I can’t wait to go back and spend happy hour there. They have live music playing most Fridays and their indoor restaurant is even dog friendly! Such a perfect idea!

  • Rebel White After Labor Day

    Rebel White After Labor Day

    Hey Babes!

    So living in Phoenix makes it the perfect place to keep celebrating summer for at least two more months. I know the rest of the U.S. is getting ready for plaid shirts, cardis and pumpkin spice lattes, but I LOVE white!

    I will continue to bring it out all year. I never get to wear white denim in Phoenix really, because well no one should wear denim in 120 degrees! Now my new beautiful white dress is more of a maxi, so I’m thinking I’ll transition it with short gray booties and a cute pink bomber when and IF it ever gets cooler here.

    When I saw this dress I knew I wanted to shoot it in Europe with a rustic looking background and an old building feel.  Since, I’m stuck at home this year I found this amazing door!! I’m hoping next summer to pack up this dress (and the yellow gingham two piece) for my summer travels!!

    These earrings arrived just in time for me to shoot this outfit! I love the almost filagree look and the chandelier style.

    I found these sunnies in a little store in Flagstaff. I love small boutiques and fun finds. I saw one of my favorite bloggers, Emily from Stiletto Beats wearing white sunnies all summer, and I have been on the hunt forever. Her pair was a bit pricey haha. I got these for like $7.50! Score!

    My beautiful choker necklace was from my Rocksbox subscription. I actually bought this one because I loved the dainty little discs and the layers!

    These shoes are still one of my favorite pair. The suede is super soft and the block heel makes it easy to wear all day! And yes they are still available.

  • Country Vineyard Chic

    Country Vineyard Chic

    Hey There!

    I am so excited to tell you about my time in Page Springs, AZ. This small town boasts several wineries and yet has a cosmopolitan vibe to offer with wine! I spent my time at Page Springs Cellars, which is my favorite by far. Their wine is indeed excellent. The have a white blend and a red blend called La Familia which you can sample during your wine flight.

    I, of course, had to find the perfect outfit. I seriously have over 150 photos of this outfit. I am loving the two piece look. AND yes another crop top lol. This outfit is from ZAFUL

    Ok I love gingham, but have never worn anything yellow. Well, not true, I have never worn yellow since my Mom picked out my clothes lol. I always think yellow and peach are not my colors. Until, I saw this outfit on another blogger and then hunted for it. I will wear this forever haha!

    I wanted to style a wedge with this look for a more Euro feel. I grabbed little straw bag (thank you Target!) and off we went to sip some wine.

    The winery has a terrace that overlooks the Oak Creek, which was full on this day. Sedona which is very nearby boasts red soil. It was so pretty to see red running water!

    Sometimes as a blogger you keep shooting for the perfect grammable photo, but I think the outtakes are super funny. You should have seen the shot of me running a a creepy bug flew by me!

    So if you happen to find a fallen clump of grapes what do you do?? Well, you use them as a a prop of course haha!

    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!

    Fun accessories with Charming Charlie

    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)).

  • 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!
