Spring Style | Spell and the Gypsy Collective

I have to say, it’s the best/worst thing ever that I happen to live RIGHT by a boutique that carries so many of my favorite designers.  They brought in a pretty good haul for Spring/festival season, and I’m especially loving the new pieces and prints from Spell and the Gypsy Collective.  So thank you, Hidden Jewel Boutique, for making shopping so easy for me ;).  And thanks to Taryn Kent for the pictures below (you’re the…

Beach Bag in the Desert | Nena and Co.

Love this bag and style, put together by Ali of Nena and Co.  These pictures were shot on a day out in the desert with the best group!  (Minus Blake – he couldn’t make it and we missed him dearly!) The hair and makeup is by Melissa Abad, she is so good and so so great to work with.  Photos are by Foxes and Wolves…but I don’t need to tell you how much I love…

San Clemente | Spring Beachwear

I finished working a little early yesterday, so Blake and I met up with some friends in in San Clemente to hang on the beach and watch the sun go down.  It’s evenings like these that make me so grateful to live where we do, even if there’s traffic, and groceries are a million dollars, and it seems like it will be centuries before we can buy the house we want…;) Side note- I love…

Boys + Arrows | Kauai

Since it’s the first day of spring and I’m itching for summer, I decided to celebrate with another swimsuit post! Going in to spring/summer this year, I have to say that one of my top favorite swim brands has become Boys + Arrows.  Not only are their suits SO cute with killer prints and cuts, but they fit so well and so comfortable.  Just the way you want a swimsuit to fit – kind of like…

ViX Swimwear | Kauai

Guys, if you want a quality suit that you know will be a flattering fit, you can’t go wrong with ViX.  I like to call it “grown up” swimwear, because it’s so nice and flattering on so many body types, and you’ll have them forever.  Here are a few shots from our trip to Kauai at an amazing water fall, taken by Jessica Janae.  (By they way, she is so much fun to work with!)  My favorite part about…

An Outfit for a Rainy Day

Growing up in Seattle, I have a large soft spot in my heart for rain.  Combined with my love of all things Jeffrey Campbell, I was pretty excited when my little sister found these rain boots.  As our friend Kaitlyn said, “They look expensive”…but they’re not.  Keep my feet dry without being clunky and heavy, and I still feel styled.  Bring on the spring showers ;).  I’m also kind of in love with this Madewell…

A Beach Birthday | Amuse Society

A couple nights ago, Blake and I went to one of our favorite beach spots to celebrate our friend Poppy’s birthday.  It got a little windy and chilly, so we hightailed it to Ruby’s for shakes before the sun set.  I love how much later it’s staying light after daylight savings! How cute is this romper from Amuse Society?  They’ve got “Beach Vida Bling” figured out. Amuse Society Romper ~ Free People Necklace ~ D’Blanc Sunnies…

Dinner Out | Cleobella

Blake and I eat out…a lot.  I love it when it’s just the two of us, because I feel like it’s our time.  When I make dinner at home, I’m usually caught up in what I’m making, or we have the TV on, or one of us is on our phone.  But when we go out somewhere, it’s like there’s an unspoken rule that we put our phones away and pay attention to each other.…

Sunset Surf | The Best Sweater

Lately, Blake’s been really determined to improve his surfing abilities.  If there are waves when he finishes work, he’ll come grab me and we’ll hurry over to the beach to see what he can catch before the sun goes down.  I usually just post up on a blanket or a life guard tower and watch him.  (Not to sound like a bum, but it takes a lot warmer weather/water and perfect waves for me to attempt to…

Park City Style

Blake and I were just in Utah this past weekend for some work and some fun.  The Sundance Film Festival happened to be going on, so we saw lots of fun winter style while we were in Park City.  In honor of Sundance, I decided to post one of my favorite down jackets I have ever put on.  Seriously, this jacket is no joke – SO WARM and SO CUTE! Down Coat (or here) ~ Jeans…
