  • 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!

    Daily Look Elite

    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.

  • Palm Leaf Beach Dreams

    Palm Leaf Beach Dreams

    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!!!

  • Ellie Activewear August Box

    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!

  • 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!

  • Euro Chic Polka Dots

    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).

  • Brave Wings Fashion Show

    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!

  • Sedona Day Trip

    Sedona Day Trip

    Hi Lovelies!

    I had so much fun a couple of weeks ago when I went to Sedona. It is about an hour and half drive from Phoenix and usually 20 degrees cooler too!

    We started by exploring the shopping district known as Tlaquepaque, which was built like an old Spanish mission. I love the architecture and the pathways here.

    It really has an old world feel, but it is filled with lots of little shops and restaurants and even art galleries!

    I knew I wanted to pick a comfortable outfit to be able to go exploring this day. I was so excited when I found these pants online and 50% off sale! Like seriously what is best, but all the cute things on SALE!

    Just an FYI, these pants are a linen like fabric and do wrinkle, but again aren’t they are so cute!?!?!

    I paired silver jewelry this time, which is so hard for me to leave gold metals lol.

    The Spanish tiles everywhere just make for the prettiest backgrounds and make me so happy!

    I love beautiful fountains. My parents back home have a few in their garden and the sound is so relaxing.

    If you plan a trip to Sedona, go earlier, the shops open at 10 am and its pretty full after that haha. It is such a pretty location and feels as if you needed your passport to get there. I’ve linked my outfit details down below!

    Pants: Banana Republic (on sale)!

    Crop Top: Vida Moulin (just 2 left–hurry)!

    Earrings: Adornmonde ( they come in gold too)

    Bag: my sister gifted me from an island somewhere lol

    Wedges: sold out Tory Burch: Similar
