    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 - 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.

    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!

  • Grecian Inspired Maxi

    Grecian Inspired Maxi

    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?!?

  • Spring Florals

    Spring Florals

    Hello Loves!!

    I am super excited ok probably a bit too giddy with all the pretty florals I’ve been seeing lately. Its so nice to see everything blooming and I feel like this Spring the patterns reflect a happy vibe!

     

     

     

     

    This was my first time visiting this cute tea shop in central phoenix. The location was perfect for capturing this pretty maxi dress. The The Tea Pot is a darling little cottage like house that even has a playground in the back for the little ones.

    I styled very delicate jewelry pieces with this dress because the print was a bit busy already. The shoes are my new favorite platform wedges from a successful trip to Last Chance!

     

     

     

    This was my first time working with local photographer Sarah Hoag Photography. I was super excited to get back these images and I am obsessed! If you are a local blogger reach out to her for your photos.

    Dress: Shein–old; Similar–$25!; Similar

    Wedges: Tory Burch–old , but lots of pairs on Tradesey; Similar

    I hope you find pretty floral maxi dresses this Spring. Its my favorite look while it lasts, because soon it will be too hot to wear anything long here in Phoenix haha.

  • 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.

    Hi There!

    I’ve been so crazy here on my end this week, because it’s Phoenix Fashion Week! It has been so much fun playing dress up and attending the business of blogging lecture this past Friday. I learned a lot from Audree Kate, who began blogging here in Phoenix and is now based New York City full time! Congrats Audree! Check out her blog Simply Audree Kate

    My latest outfit post is a bit behind schedule because of all this but here it finally is!
