Weekend Getaway | Stein Eriksen Lodge

This past weekend, Blake and I spent a beautiful weekend together, tucked away in the mountains of Park City, Utah at the Stein Eriksen Lodge.  We skied, ate, slept, had friends and family come up to visit, and relaxed.  I loved being in the fresh mountain air, and just getting away.  Usually when we go to Utah, we are hurrying from place place, working and trying to see everyone and their Mom (like, literally we…

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…

SKINVOLVE | Body Skincare

I’ve had a few people ask me if the things I post are really things that I like and buy/use myself.  The answer is always YES…so listen up!  In the past, I’ve tried a million things to take care of my face, but have never give much thought to the rest of my skin.  Lately as I’m getting older (yikes!) I’ve been looking for something to ensure some skin longevity ;).  Guys, I am LOVING…

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…

Breakfast on Repeat | Acai Bowls

Guys, I can’t stop making these Acai bowls.  We’ve been making them for breakfast nonstop, but I have to stop myself from making them at night as a dessert.  They’re that good! I remember I used to love visiting California and going straight to get an Acai bowl.  I never even thought about trying to make one myself – I just though of it as something I could only get in California.  Now there are…

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…
