Feeling Flirty in Lace
We all have our closet staple LBDs, but now that spring has sprung in most places around the country, it’s all about the LWD — little white dress! Because this one has long yet light sleeves, it’s perfect for the Spring transition and those cooler spring evenings. I love the loose silhouette and slight bell sleeves, and of course: the lace! This dress is ultra sweet and flirty, and it’s perfect for a casual afternoon or dressed up for date night. You may have seen a sneak peek of this look…
How I’m Styling Turquoise Jewelry This Spring
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by JTV. I was paid for this post and received JTV jewelry pieces as compensation. They say turquoise symbolizes creativity, serenity and balance — those are definitely some qualities I need in my life. That’s why I was thrilled when my pals at JTV reached out about a collaboration around their gorgeous turquoise pieces. Turquoise isn’t a stone I have worn much in the past, although I’m not sure why; it can be absolutely stunning! I fell in love with the…
Two-Toned Tank
I’ve been sitting on this post for a minute. I shot it back when Michael and I were in Maui late last year, and since most of the country (aside from sunny Phoenix, of course) has been having one hell of a winter, I figured it wouldn’t be…

Our Romantic Anniversary Week in Maui [Travel Diary]

How I’m Celebrating Year-Round With Basic Invite
I haven’t really talked about this here yet, but Michael and I are in the process of building a new home! Of course, the event planner in me is already thinking about all the amazing dinners and parties we’ll host once we’re all moved in…
Black, Blue & Blush
If you can’t tell by the title of this post, I’m a sucker for alliteration ;) Happy 2018, by the way! This is my first official post of 2018, and I’ll confess: one of my New Years’ resolutions is to be a little more consistent with my posting…
Black, Camel and Shibori
Ok guys, I swear I’m trying to get you some more fall/winter looks, but it’s not easy when it’s been in the 80’s for pretty much all of November. Temps in Arizona finally dropped down to the 60’s/70’s this week, and gasp — we finally got a…
