  • Chic Resort Mountain Shadows

    Chic Resort Mountain Shadows

    Hi Loves,

    I was so excited to visit Mountain Shadows recently. The decor is sleek and modern on the outside, yet super mid-century “Mad Men” vibe on the inside.

     

    I knew I wanted to find a simple and chic outfit to wear and basically just lounge in it lol. As I keep saying, I want to be a lady of leisure when I grow up. I think I found the perfect thing when I spotted the jumpsuit. Isn’t the wide legged palazzo pant is so chic?!?!

    I knew I wanted to style the jumpsuit with my black wide brimmed hat. So I picked out the jewelry to really stand out.

     

     

     

     

    I layered a few different necklaces and paired those with a large gold cuff. I also chose my new fringe sandals to add some texture to the overall sleek look. I love these low wedges with this pant leg.

    This is one of my most favorite looks by far. I felt like an old movie dame haha! I’m loving my latest finds from this new online boutique Balia Boutique, and they just got in new arrivals you NEED to check it out. I’ll link all the info below for you!

    Zaful Summer Vacation Picks

    Hi Babes!

    So I’m back with my latest picks from Zaful. This fun and affordable online retailer is my new favorite for summer fashion! Below are my choices for your upcoming beach vacay!!

    The top left photo is a two piece yellow gingham crop top and skirt. I AM OBSESSED. I can totally picture this for brunch or rose at a beach cafe. The top right  is a fun palm leaf a-line wrap skirt . I love the vibrant green leaf print. I think a crop top (again I know) would look cute with this lol. The bottom left photo is…..wait for it….. a Crop Top!! Haha it is black and off the shoulder and lace too. C’mon you know I need this one (and so do you)! The bottom right photo is a beautiful white eyelet fabric with a cinched waist and a flowy skirt. Let me know down below in the comments which is your favorite!

  • Ellie Activewear Subscription Box

    Ellie Activewear Subscription Box

    Hey Dolls!

    So I just received my first Ellie Activewear box and I have to say right away I’m super impressed.  I knew that I would be getting a workout outfit, but didn’t realize there would be more surprises in the box!

    Each box contains a complete cute workout outfit.  This July box is still available! This box also has an Ab workout wheel and a Bally’s cooling towel. The fit and quality is always a concern with my workout clothes. I love these pieces! The sports bra has the cutest cut outs and the fit is very soft. I got a size small.

    It is really comfortable, and the sports bra is described as medium support. My workouts are usually not that intense, so for me this is perfect. If you tend to workout out more hard-core you might need different support (or if your boobs are bigger too haha). I love the contrasting piping to go with the pants.

    I don’t know why, but i’ve never bought workout pants with color blocking and now I’m obsessed. I was missing out lol. These pants I got in a size medium. I was again worried I might need a bigger size, but these are perfect.

    The tank top is just the cutest with the mesh back and a bright tangerine color. I like that the fit was a bit oversized, so that you know this one that I’m wearing is a size small.

    I love the matching hair ties by Zobha, but I can’t use them, except for decor over my real hair ties lol. They don’t have a lot of stretch so they can’t hold up my super thick hair. I can use them for a cute wrist accessory haha!

    So the important stuff. this is a monthly subscription box. You get all the items shown above for $49.95. Such much less than one pair of leggings at Lululemon! And you get the whole outfit with extra workout gear or surprises. I mean really this is such a good deal. Click on the link below!

    Soft Florals

    Hi Loves,

    I am just loving the floral maxis out there right now. I have a few more sitting in my “cart” all over the internet! Oh you know you do that too haha!

    I recently starting shooting with Jacqueline and have our next shoot already set up for this weekend. can you say road trip!?! Its going to be so fun!

    I am loving the trend from yellow gold to more rose gold. I paired my new rose gold aviators with the pink flowers in this dress.

    My jewelry is a mixture of metals, but mostly rose gold tones with these long layering necklaces.

    Oh my gosh I have been longing for gray shoes for so long and the fact that I found the perfect open toed bootie was amazing!

    I’m super excited for what is yet to come on my blog. With my new branding and logo, I feel these good changes will make a real difference to my overall look!

  • PFF Runway of Hope

    PFF Runway of Hope

    Hi Ladies!

    I recently attended the Pearce Family Foundation Runway of Hope charity event.  This foundation now has two part to it. The first being Angels All Around Us. This was their primary focus until very recently The Angels All Around Us program assists families whose child is in the hospital receiving care make ends meet and pay daily bills, so the parents can focus on the child getting well. As a blogger, I have been invited to many fun events, but this one was special because the purpose was to raise funds to continue this good work. The newest program of the foundation is Angel Dogs. This program helps a family in need of a service dog financially for the training of one animal.

    I had fun deciding what to wear for the event which was going to be a fashion show and more. I wanted something bright and light at the same time, since the weather is now hovering around 100 degrees.

    The fashion show involved several local boutiques, including a local designer and NYDJ. Harpreet Maan is a fellow fashion blogger, but I never realized she was designing also. She had many of her collection pieces featured on the runway and for sale this night.

    It was fun seeing Rosa from Blush Boutique that night. She had some models walking in the fashion show this night to showcase her boutique!

    I had not seen the local blogger gals in a few weeks, so it was great catching up with everyone and sharing this great experience.

     

    Here are some clips of the actual runway show that night. Hope this makes you all want to go next year!

     

    The event was held the Arizona’s first interactive aquarium. We were so lucky to get rooftop views of a private dolphin show! Amazing creatures–so much love for them!

  • Gingham for Summer

    Gingham for Summer

    Hi There!

    Summer style in the desert can be tricky. I am always freezing in the exaggerated A/C of Phoenix, AZ haha. So I am always on the lookout for cute tops that I can pair with white denim. I am so loving the gingham trend that I am seeing everywhere right now. I love it in blue, red or yellow! I found this top, which is technically a cold shoulder (yes I cheated on my first love the #OTS top haha).  But, LOOK it also has gorgeous statement sleeves!

     

    I featured this top on my summer wishlist SEE HERE awhile back and finally ordered it. It is so much prettier than I had thought. I am in love with it!

    I grabbed a pair of skinny white denim and my favorite island weaved bag (courtesy of my sister Janell’s travels), and I met my friend, Siara for a fun morning at the Montelucia resort here in Phoenix.

    I love this area of the Montelucia. It is a pathway right outside the Joya Spa that feels right out of the Secret Garden novel.

    I am loving this cold shoulder top so much and you can see more just like it on the link below, including this exact top down below. Also there is a special code for my readers! So cool!!

  • Summer Garden Party

    Summer Garden Party

    Hi Babes!

    So when I was in Kansas City, I attended a garden party which gave me the idea for this shoot. I love the the old homes that KC has preserved. Simpson House is one such place. The home is available for events and weddings and has pretty green gardens a long with a gorgeous stone facade.

     

     

    This entryway reminds me of the grand homes of the South lol. I should have been born when Scarlett O’Hara times were around haha. This long bright blue maxi is super flowy and very feminine. I love the high low hemline and the rounded edges.

    2017 May - Plaza - 52 copyKansas City is always so lush in the summer after the Spring rains (it rained more than half the week when I was home)!

     

    2017 May - Plaza - 67

    This dress has pretty lace-up details at the bodice and so I kept my accessories super minimal. The print is also enough to stand on its own.

    2017 May - Plaza - 932017 May - Plaza - 782017 May - Plaza - 79

    Long maxi dresses are perfect for this setting and just twirling lol. This pretty blue print is my new favorite one!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I’m crazy about this store. If I had unlimited funds I’d order like twenty dresses right now! Check out Vicic Dolls for gorgeous feminine boho inspired looks.

  • 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!

  • Country Club Plaza

    Country Club Plaza

    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!
