  • Summer Sundress with Thred Up

    Summer Sundress with Thred Up

    Hi Babes!

    I had the opportunity to try out ThredUp recently and I was really surprised how many choices I had to pick from. I love the variety of colors and sizes and the site is so easy to use. I know there are other second hand online stores, but ThredUp choses the most on trend pieces and it has to be of the highest quality.

    I was on the lookout for new summer sundresses and I found a great one. I am crazy about bright colors for summer and just fell in love with the details on this dress.

    I find that mixing textures with a solid color dress makes you accessories pop! This fun patterned clutch and the multi-colored bead bracelets were a perfect addition to this dress.

    The fun flounce detail and the zipper accent are just so cute! Right?!?!?

    ThredUp is so fun because you pay 90% of regular prices for second hand clothes. I picked out 2 dresses (see previous post) for $30. If you have clothes or accessories that you no longer wear they will send you a postage paid bag to “clean out” your closet and you get paid for this! Head on over and check out ThredUp for your own cute summer dress!

    Hey Babes!

    I was in Kansas City for a week visiting my family and knew I wanted to shoot my pretty new OTS dress on The Plaza. The Country Club Plaza is a shopping district that was designed, and built in the 1920s to mimic Kansas City’s Sister City, Seville, Spain. These stairs are beautiful and represent the Spanish vibe.

     

    This simple orange/red off the shoulder style is perfect for a day brunching at the Classic Cup or sitting around at happy hour at the Hotel Sorella’s rooftop pool area.

     

    I love bright summer colors and I have going a bit crazy lately picking all my new dresses like this lol.

  • Off The Shoulder Still Going Strong

    Off The Shoulder Still Going Strong

    Hi Babes!

    So I am still craaaazy about anything off the shoulder. It is so cute, yet sexy at the same time. The Off The Shoulder (OTS) trend has been around for a few summers now. I still love the variety of ideas you can style with this look.

    This dress has the cutest print that can be perfect for Spring, but the colors can take you way into fall. I love the way it fits loosely, which is something I never choose actually. This is my first more baby doll like style dress ever. I got tons of compliments walking around the vineyards this day. This was so fun to shoot at this vineyard, the trellis was getting covered with grapes just coming in!

    This dress has the cutest slevee details with the cut-outs and the little ties that make it super special.

    Paige Spring Cellars Is located in Cornville, AZ just outside of Cottonwood and very near Sedona. Its an easy 1 hour and 15 minute drive from North Phoenix. The property is so pretty and has lots of nice areas to take photos.

    The vineyard photos are still one of my favorite photoshoots ever. Of course drinking wine during the shoot was fun LOL!

    Sorry for the photo overload, this is seriously one of my most favorite dresses ever! It was the dress that I modeled in a fashion show about a month ago for my friend Kim. She is the owner of the online boutique called Clothes Minded Boutique . This dress is still available in all sizes. I will link it below and all my accessories too!

    This dress is so cute and comfortable for the pool or even brunch. I had heard of thredUp before, but not for buying, just for cleaning out my closet haha.

  • Spring Pastels

    Spring Pastels

    Hi!

    I’ve been so excited about the cooler weather here in Phoenix. It seems we get only two seasons (cold and hot) here instead of four. I feel like I miss out on some cute trends because it gets so blazing hot here so fast. One trend I was happy to wear this Spring is pastel pants. In this case, pink denim pants.

    Mine are actually a super lightweight corduroy fabric. I wanted to feature the pink pant as the main focus and so I styled this with black instead of another pastel color. Ya know avoiding the whole rainbow sherbert look haha.

    I paired these long boho earrings with a real simple necklace. Of course my obsession with hats continues lol.

    So this was a funny day when after I was pretty rain-soaked, but we just kept shooting outfits. My hair was beyond natural frizzy curly haha. I know that any minute it will be back to 115F degrees here. In the meantime I will wear my cute pink pants!

    Arizona Wine Country

    Hi Babes!

    So last month I went on a fun day trip to Cornville, AZ. It is a small town near Sedona that has several wineries. The Page Springs Cellars winery has a really pretty tasting room, with patios overlooking Oak Creek, food for a picnic and of course wine! I knew I wanted to wear my pretty new floral maxi dress to be comfy and still look feminine.

    I love the darker florals for Spring. This dress is flowy but not too lightweight as its about 20 degrees cooler in Cornville than in Phoenix.

    The winery had most of their land open to visitors to explore on your own, including the area with actual grape vines.

    I, of course, have to take every opportunity to dance around lol! (I’ll dance even without music haha).

    I had so much fun this day. Got lots of compliments on this dress. I’ll link it below. It can be paired for fall wth a cute black bomber jacket or even add a felt hat to the outfit.

    Hi There!

    I recently got as a gift from my sister this super cute lightweight sweatshirt. It’s still a bit cool in the early morning hours and this so cute to run errands in. Of course it would look cuter at the beach I’m sure.

    I found this company in LA while attending Style Con last fall. I loved the beachy girl vibe designs. This top is also super soft.

    My gray converse are my favorite sneakers. I love the white ones too, but I could never keep them white past day one. So these gray ones are like a neutral for me.

    This company has the cutest graphic tees that you should really give them a look. They’re main quote is seek out “Your Inner Merbabe”! Seriously so cute. Like totally!

    City Chic Crop Top

    Hello Lovelies,

    As I planned to head to a cute brunch spot in the heart of Old Town Cottonwood, Arizona last weekend. I knew I wanted to wear my super cute new crop top from Tobi.

     

     

    This crop top is so cute! I love the asymmetrical front and back style. I wanted to find a pant that would best compliment the unique shape of the top.

    These high waisted linen pants are my new favorite! I love the front bow and the ruffle detail at the waist. SO super darling right?!?

    I grabbed my go to Jennifer Janesko gold bar threaders to add a little bling to my outfit and a simple black clutch.

    Crop Top: Tobi

    High Waisted Pant: Balia Boutique

    Earrings: Jennifer Janesko

    There so many funny images of me in the middle of the road. I’m sure the residents of Cottonwood thought I was crazy lol. My favorite brunch spot is up the road with tons of gluten free options is The Red Rooster Cafe. Oh and the best part $5 mimosas!

    Hello Loves!

    I recently went back to Cottonwood, AZ to visit. It is such a pretty area and just the cutest town. I have to admit that when I received my beautiful maxi dress I could totally picture in my head how I wanted to shoot it. This gorgeous dress is from Tobi

    This gorgeous area is a walking trail at the end of Main Street that winds around all the way to the other side of town. Its actually called the Jail Trail. The parking lot at the trail head is where the old jail was located.

    This was such a beautiful area, but as my luck would have it there had been a horrible wind storm the day before and a huge tree had been uprooted blocking the path. We had to climb through the trunk space and all sorts of woodland creature were scurrying around. Yes a whole lot of screeching from my fellow city blogger and me, but not from my tough chick Cottonwood friend lol.

    And yes I hiked down the trail in these!! Actually so cozy and sturdy haha! My new favorite open toed bootie!

    Dress: Tobi

    Booties: Vici Dolls

    Cuff: old Lauren Conrad; Similar

    I love this small town. It was so much exploring that day. I was so happy hanging out and showing off the cutest spots. I would love to go back with a bigger group of bloggers and do a big fun styled shoot! Anyone interested?!?
