  • Shein Spring Wishlist 2017

    Hi Loves

    I am super excited to feature some my Spring fashion wishlist items for you. I feel that my job is to give you Spring Fever haha! I love that the mornings are still brisk, but it is already sundress weather here (sorry my east coast friends). Best news is that each item is under $20–yes its true!

    One: This blush top fits with a loose fit, which I am liking a lot this season. I would pair it with a skinny white denim. I love the sleeve details and am crazy about blush this season. Exact item is linked: Here

    Two: This white clutch is perfect for Spring floral dresses. I love the laser cut pattern and the optional gold chain. Score! Exact item is linked: HERE

    Three: Oh my gosh!! This top is my next must have. Look at that cold shoulder detail, but the sleeves bunched up like they are—sooo cute. #obessed. Exact item is linked HERE

    Four: I have been looking for a floral maxi with a bit more movement. I like a certain draping for my maxi’s. I think this print and style is perfect for a Spring brunch!. Exact item is linked: HERE

    I love this time of year when pastels are back in favor and flowers are everywhere! This wishlist may soon be hitting my cart lol. What Shein items are you loving right now?!? Leave me a comment below.

  • Tea Skirt Flirty

    Tea Skirt Flirty

    Hi Lovelies

    I recently had the chance to create an outfit for a tea shop inspired look. I wanted to keep it a bit less traditional and little more sexy. I think it came together pretty well!

    This was such a fun shoot arranged by a fellow blogger Katrina Fox. She was nice enough to share her time with two local  super talented photographers with me. Check out Katrina’s blog is you don’t already follow her The Foxy Kat she is as sweet and she is stylish!

    This was my first meeting with Rachel. She is a local Phoenix photographer that I met that day for like for 2 minutes before we started shooting lol. She was very open to my crazy ideas and had an easy way about her so I was able to have fun.

    The wind cooperated nicely this day lol. I loved the high low cut of this skirt and this print so much. It was a lucky impulse buy just the day before too!

    This gorgeous archway is right in front of this cute local Phoenix restaurant. The owners pulled up just as we started shooting and they were sooo sweet. Can you guess where this is? They serve my favorite gluten-free pizza!

     Taffeta Skirt: in stores only–super sale! Rue 21

    Crop Top: old; Similar-Forever 21

    Heels: Nordstrom

    Let me know what you think about this more flirty look vs a more classic tea time dress. Btw anybody have any guesses where this shoot was done?!?

  • Classic Black & White

    Classic Black & White

    Hello Loves!

    I am super excited to share this outfit with you. I had been seeing a lot of gals wearing white jeans lately. My mom had taught me no white before Memorial Day or after Labor Day lol. I becoming a bit more of a fashion rebel nowadays haha!

    This fun top is actually a one shoulder top. I love the silky feel of the fabric. It is an online only piece, which can sometimes be tough to choose. I ordered this in a US size 6 according to the descriptions. It was actually way too big. I wanted to make sure the sleeves wouldn’t be too short (pet peeve of mine). I think a size 2 would have fit perfectly, but oh well another item for the alterations lady.

    I really loved the modernistic collar area. I styled this top with my new Jennifer Janesko earrings. She is a local Kansas City modern jewelry designer. I am obsessed with these sleek long bar threaders she gifted me. I will link my exact pair down below!

    This outfit’s accessories have tons of unique details. Check out this clutch and the metal border.

  • Boho Spring

    Boho Spring

    Hello Loves!

    Its Spring!! Pretty floral dress and pink dress are back, flowers are blooming and my allergies are in full swing haha. I love daffodils and tulips and I am crazy about light and airy dresses.

    This was a cute flirty little dress to wear. The funny thing was that we got sprinkled on while shooting (sorry about the crazy au natural hair). As we finished shooting it really came down hard lol.

    I love keeping the styling to a minimum. Dainty necklace and bigger more boho style earrings were the choices I went with. These exact Ettika earrings are so pretty. I was super excited to pick out my first piece from this jewelry company. You need to check them out. They specialize in handmade bohemian style. All so cute!

    I  wanted to add my new Jord Wood Watch to really play off the earthy feel of this outfit. I kept the rings to just two more rustic ones from my collection.

    These over the knee boots are from last fall but are still my favorites because of they have no heels! Sometimes I just need to be short lol.

    Dress: sold out online–but still in some stores at Rue 21 ($7)–yes for real; Similar

  • Jord Chrono Wood Watch

    Jord Chrono Wood Watch

    Hi Loves!

    I am back with a new post with Jord Wood Watches . They contacted me to share that they had designed a new series, the Conway.  This series is actually a men’s series for the company, but I just loved the dark sandalwood color and could totally picture incorporating it into my wardrobe!

    I really love the darker wood on this style. I found that I could wear the watch with a pair of ripped denim or style it with a cute dress.

  • St. Patrick’s Day Fun

    St. Patrick’s Day Fun

    Hi There!

    I know it may seem a bit weird for this Kansas City girl to love St. Patrick’s Day, but I do. It was always so much fun to skip school and go to Crown Center area to watch the parade.

    Kansas City held the title for the third largest parade in the U.S. for years. As we got older you basically called in sick to work and pub crawled the whole day after the parade lol.

    This fun top is right on trend with the cold shoulder look and I really loved how super soft it is. I styled it with a loose pair of boyfriend jeans (ok they are too big on me now so they are more loose than normal lol) and my gray converse.

     

    This shoot was a lot of fun with the wild weather we had that day, but it all came together, even if my hair sort fell apart haha.

    This top is available here locally in Phoenix or online woo hoo! Check out her boutique for the cutest things everrrr. So snag your St. Patty’s Day t-shirt before March 17th or you might get pinched!

  • Cozy Casual

    Cozy Casual

    Hi Loves!

    This cute oversized sweater is perfect for this weekend’s weather. It randomly got cold again and really rainy. I am loving this loose fitting look which is not typically what I wear. I love this soft pink color too.  A lot of my recent looks have been brighter in color, but I find I like to change it up. I’ve never just had one look or one style or dressing. I like to wear something depending on the occasion or event.

    This sweater has the look of a traditional cable knit sweater with a larger v-neck. It can be worn slightly off the shoulder too. I styled this sweater really simply. I found a well fitted pair of gray skinny jeans and chose a pair of almost oatmeal colored booties.

    I wanted to keep the jewelry very delicate and simple. I didn’t want to over accessorize since this was a casual comfy look. I did add these sunnies for interest, well ok mostly because they are prescription and this way I don’t trip lol.

    This outfit came together due to the cold weather. I LOVE getting all dressed up everyday, but when I”m cold I need to feel cozy and casual. Let me now below what item you bring out when you are cold!

  • Valentine’s Cocktails

    Valentine’s Cocktails

    Hi Loves

    I love wearing red! So when StyleWe reached out to me for a collaboration, I jumped at the chance to pick out something to feature for Valentine’s Day. While the last post was a bit more dreamy this dress is super sexy, even with a longer sleeve!

    This dress looked super cute online, but I have to admit it is even better in person. I absolutely love the flouncy details at the sleeves and the hem line. The hem is actually a bit uneven where it comes up a bit higher on both sides!!

     

    When I styled this dress I wanted to keep my accessories super simple. This solid colored dress would typically need something to make it interesting, but this dress with its own special touches did not need a lot of help. I paired a simple patent leather pumps and this leopard print clutch. I got this clutch before this online retailer started carrying the fold-over style, which actually I like better. C’est la vie!

  • Dreamy Valentine’s Day

    Dreamy Valentine’s Day

    Hello Loves!

    This is the first of three Valentine’s Day outfits to help inspire you, I really hope you enjoy! Just for full disclosure, I ordered my red ball gown with no place at all to wear it to! A little strange maybe, but if I get invited to a ball I’m all set! Hint, Hint!

    I had in mind for awhile now to shoot this dress at the Wrigley Mansion. A lot of people have never visited or have never known about this magical place. It is a beautiful hacienda like mansion up on a big hill in the Biltmore area of Phoenix.

    This gorgeous red ball gown is such a dream dress. It even has pockets, which this gal just loves. I decided to style it very simply with a minimal dainty necklace, no arm jewelry and no earrings even. The dress is truly the feature.

    I did style it with a leopard coat, it was still cold that week. This is a vintage piece that belonged to my Mom. She got a new one she liked better and I was happy to take this one off her hands. Talking about hands, a gal should never arrive empty handed, and so La Marca Prosecco is always a good idea! It is my personal favorite prosecco, a tad sweeter than a true brüt champagne–which I actually like better, but not overtly sweet either.

     

    Ball Gown: Morning Lavender–sold out; Similar–Morning Lavender; Similar–on sale for $50!!

    Coat: Similar; Similar–on sale for $37!!

    I hope that you liked this post. Stay tuned for our craaazzzy adventure that we had while shooting inside the mansion in the next post! Small hint: BOO!

  • Hapari FIT Activewear

    Hapari FIT Activewear

    Hi There!!

    I am so excited to tell you about this latest collaboration. Hapari reached out to me about featuring and trying out their activewear line. I was pretty flattered! They started off as a swimwear company and have moved more into including activewear.

    Ok so those that know me well are aware that I am not a gym girl. Now this doesn’t mean I’m sedentary, quite the opposite. In 2004 I had a thyroidectomy after gaining over 30 lbs and being pretty sick. I was super skinny for my height before that so many did not realize that I was sick at all. I used to do 5 dance classes a week (ballet, flamenco, belly dance and contemporary). Nowadays, I do my kind of working out–not super structured. But it works for me.

    I love to walk with my dogs. Try to most days! Cleo is always in a hurry to get somewhere (not sure where she is pulling to get to lol). She is about 6 months old now and has a ton of energy. The other 2 have no choice but to keep up!

    I usually swim most days when my pool warms up too. But when its cooler out I love to ride my bike. I have a cute beach cruiser, yes with a basket on the front, that I ride for a good hour. Here in Phoenix, I try to ride as often as I can before it gets too warm. I’ve actually had my bike tires get worn out/ruined from the pavement being too stinking hot!! The jackets I ordered in size small also. I am crazy about the little thumb holes. Yes something that little makes me happy!

    I truly loved these Hapari FIT pieces. They are so well made. Hapari prides itself in fitting a woman’s body very well and their activewear is no different.The wide waistband on the pants is so nice to help hide my extra pouchiness haha.

    I really loved the way the sports bra fit and the higher neckline too. This is a size small. The pants are a size medium–I’m more “hippy” than the average girl of my height and weight.

    The solid black tank is very lightweight and super soft. I ordered the size small. Really loved this tank! The quality of this active is so well made.

    For me whatever I do I have to have music. With my dance background I love all types of music. Sometimes my “workout” is just dancing in my living room. So no one can critique my pathetic jete instead of a grand jete lol!

    I am trying to get back into actual classes, but life keeps getting in the way. I love nothing more than being on stage. I so miss it. No matter what you do keep moving. I am not in the league of the bloggers who are real fitness bloggers by any means, but if you can get a group of girlfriends together and just go out dancing its a great start. You burn a lot of calories and in heels! It’s an excellent workout. So to my friends at the Galantine’s party– in 2 weeks, Friday, we need to organize this for sure (you know who you are)!

    The best news is that everything at Hapari related to activewear is on major sale right now! The links above are for all the pieces that I received. Also don’t forget to check out Core water. I love the taste of their purified water, but best news is that they have just introduced 5 calorie flavored waters!! SO delicious and yet low calorie. No artificial sugars used to sweeten these waters.
