The Last Day | Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

Today is the LAST day of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year!  Guys, it’s been a good run.  Don’t be sad that it’s over, smile because of all the good stuff you got ;).  Blake and I did one last sweep this morning to get some necessities (mostly underwear and socks! ha!).  We went through one last time and picked our favorites of what’s left!  Notice I have a lot more on my list than…

Fair Nights | Orange County

Just like peanut butter and jelly, peas and carrots, Rocky and Bullwinkle, to name a few, summer nights and the fair is one of those classic combos. And it only happens during a small window every year, so you have to go for it when it’s available. Growing up in Utah, they have some pretty good fair offerings. Most of them are smaller, individual fairs, but they have all the necessities like fried food, farm animals and…

Behind the Brand | Nena & Co.

Sometimes I love what a brand makes, but then when I find out what’s behind that brand I fall in love a little bit more.  That’s definitely been the case over the last few years with Nena & Co.  Not only are the pieces beautiful and unique, but it’s a brand supporting an amazing cause.  They work with Guatemalan artisans to create hand-woven textiles that are used to make all of their pieces.  Recently the brand moved…

Nordstrom Sale Steals

Guys, the sale is almost over and there’s still lots of good stuff! If you’ve been holding out, now’s the time before it’s gone and the sale is over ;).  On that note, I feel it’s my duty to tell you that these J.Brand jeans are still available in every size, and they’re so good.  A little high waisted, and they’ll make your legs look longer and skinnier with the flare at the bottom.  I really…

Monrow | Timeout in Malibu

It’s finally hot here, and for some reason it hasn’t really felt like summer for me until now.  After running around LA the other day, fighting traffic and castings and heat, we grabbed some of our best friends and hurried up to Malibu for a sunset beach session.  Literally EVERY time we make it up to Malibu I say, “WHY don’t we come here more often?”  I love it up there, such a fun vibe…

Junim L.A. | A Walk on Melrose

This hand-dyed silk maxi dress from Junim L.A.  has been on repeat this summer, and I have yet to have a bad day when I’m wearing it…I don’t think that’s a coincidence ;).  Made from the signature indio silk print that Junim is known for, designer Haley Solar implements an artisan hand dying technique.  She uses reclaimed fabrics and a mixture of traditional and natural dyes, and her colors are inspired by the sky at different…

Bluebird Cafe – Sundance Edition

As Jen mentioned in her post about our Utah anniversary weekend, we had to celebrate our anniversary later than it’s actual date. But we were totally fine with that and one of the main reasons was because of the Bluebird Café at Sundance.Free People Shirt | Zara Jeans |Palladium Boots (on sale for $79 from $150!) We went to Bluebird for the first time a few years ago and loved it. We’ve been really wanting to make…
