Date Night BohoChic

March 15, 2016

Hello loves!
Sad news to report… Mark and I were still so sick over the weekend that we had to miss the Natural Products West Expo 🙁 yesterday. I haven’t missed this event since I started attending, I believe 7 years ago! It’s where I learn about all of the amazing new products from natural skincare brands, tasty organic food, and exciting new makeup lines.
Since I was unable to attend this year, I had my proxy, my mother, stop by all of the beauty brands and report back! She owns a gift basket business, so she was also there checking out things for her store, but was kind enough to grab some palettes, skincare items, and lip colors for me to review. As soon as I’ve tested everything out, I will definitely be posting my thoughts and pictures on here!
Today’s look is a perfect mix of laid-back and glammed up. I’m loving airy, crossover blouses and ripped-knee jeans for summer, and paired with slick black accessories, this outfit is taken from pretty casual to date-night worthy. The lower neckline is the perfect backdrop to highlight this gorgeous lariat necklace from Gorjana, by way of Rocksbox. In case you haven’t heard, Rocksbox is a monthly subscription service that sends you 3 designer jewelry pieces for only $19 a month. So far, I’ve received everything from statement necklaces covered in crystals, to delicate gold layering rings, to geometric cuff bracelets.

Also, be sure to check out the giveaway that I’m co-hosting here on the blog, there’s still plenty of time to enter!

Colorful Casual Summer Look

March 9, 2016

Hello loves!
I hope everyone is doing well. I’m still deep in my sickness, Mark and I both! We’ve basically been pretty useless around the house, except for the bare minimum to keep things going, making it to work, etc. I’m very much hoping to have it be gone by this weekend. We have the Natural Products Expo West coming up, and I wouldn’t miss it for much. It’s where I learn about all sorts of new products in the “natural” world, from makeup and skincare to protein bars and pasta sauce, and everything in between. This will be my first time attending as media, which is also super exciting!
My outfit here features even more cute items from BohoCheri, this colorful kimono and graphic bag. I’m obsessed with this tote bag that can come with me anywhere from a date to shopping to the farmer’s market. I love that the pattern is interesting and attention-grabbing yet can go with almost any outfit I pair it with.

Colorblock Poncho & Platform Booties

March 7, 2016

Hello, loves!
I hope you all are doing well. I, unfortunately, have come under the weather. Quite fitting as it’s been raining for the past 2 days here in Southern California. It’s funny that after working at an urgent care and being surrounded by sick people all day, I RARELY get sick, and now I catch a bug from my boyfriend! Le sigh.
Moving on to happier topics, it is nice to bring back some of my much-loved cozy layering pieces, like this color-blocked poncho wrap. I always look for pieces that can easily be removed and carried, because no one wants to walk around with a heavy coat on their arm while trying to shop!

Embroidered Sundress & Denim Jacket

Embroidered Sundress & Denim Jacket Hello loves!
I have to say it quickly, before it disappears, but spring has arrived in Southern California! We generally only get a few short weeks in between frigid mornings and hundred degree afternoons, and I like to take advantage of every moment! Little sundresses, sandals, delicate floral prints… It’s a girly girl’s dream season to get dressed for.

Holli (my dream of a photographer and good friend) and I decided to stop in for a bite and some refreshments at Dhat Island, a new Caribbean restaurant located in the downtown area of Redlands, CA. When I read that baby coconuts were on the menu, I’m pretty sure that I let out a squeal! I love coconut water and there’s nothing more fresh than right out of the shell.

I also wanted to share something that I’m super excited to start planning.. My good friend & coworker, Amanda, is getting married in Puerto Rico this summer! I’ve been asked to be the maid-of-honor, a task which is seemingly overwhelming but I’m up for the challenge. I could definitely use tips on how to be the best MOH possible, and also if you have any recommendations for things to do and see in and around San Juan, Puerto Rico!

I’ve gone ahead and linked some similarly lovely white sundresses. They’re all under $50 and evoke the same carefree, casual chic vibe as the one I’m wearing here.
