This past Memorial Day weekend was busy for me, but seriously one of my favorite weekends of the year. Having grown up in Boulder, Memorial Day is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s filled with Barbeques, Graduations, the Boulder Bolder 10k and the ever-entertaining Boulder Creek Fest (seriously takes the term “granola” and “boulder hippie” to a whole new level.) But I LOVE it.
I’ve never felt totally comfortable in body-con dresses. I feel like there’s just too much curve hugging happening all at once, but this striped body con from Rosie Knox was just too comfy to pass up.
I’ve been really into the lace-up details recently, and this shirt from Rosie Knox was the perfect new addition to my closet. It’s seriously so freaking comfortable and easy to throw on with a simple pair of jeans. I wanted to spice it up a little with some white jeans and cute ankle boots, but it would also be great with some shorts and wedges for a summer date night.
Let me just say that Barbie Pink is not my go-to color.
I’m more of a neutrals girl. Seriously every time I go shopping somehow I end up with another white blouse and pair of black jeans.
But this top is too fun not to share. I love the key-hole detail in the back to add a little unexpected skin. Paired with some crisp white pants and lace-up sandals and I felt ready for a mojito and sunshine.
GET. AT. ME. SUMMER!
I LOVE organizing. I love sorting through closets and tossing out things I haven’t worn in a while. For me it’s super cathartic and leaves me feeling light and renewed. I’m also super cut throat and borderline aggressive when it comes to closet cleaning.
I love spring. I love that everything starts to feel light and fresh this time of year. I love that special time of day just before the sun sets that feels extra quiet and has a sense of serene stillness. I love the floral colors, sweet scents and sounds of birds coming home after a long winter.
I made a mistake about 4 months ago and got bangs. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the idea of bangs. I love how tousled and sexy they can be, but still totally put together- think Olivia Wild, not so much Zoey Deschanel.
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to play dress up for a few hours with my friend for Pure Hearts Boutique. Started by four sisters, Pure Hearts picks a new non-profit to highlight and support each month by donating 10% of it’s monthly sales to that organization.
Not only was it so much fun to parade around in all of their new spring items, but when I mentioned a personal connection with Foundation for Fighting Blindness (FFB), Pure Heats agreed to sponsor them for the month of May.
Wedding season is coming in hot, and instead of rushing to find something pretty at the last minute like I normally do for big events, my goal this year is to be more prepared. It’s not often that you get to throw on a chiffon dress and pretty heels.
I first met my friend McKenna my sophomore year of college, bonding over how she spells her name wrong… It’s ok, sometimes spelling is hard. We quickly became friends and went on to be roommates who snuggled all the time, and watched an inordinate amount of Friends.
Flash forward a few years and she has launched the CUTEST online boutique Rosie Knox. Seriously, I’m dying over this yellow thermal shirt. I love how flowy it is, but still super cozy cause of the waffle material. It’s perfect for spring time with the bright pop of color, without being too heavy.
