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.
Once again, Mother’s day has totally snuck up on me.
My mom is a low-key kinda gal and we usually just spend the day by going to church and brunch afterwards. But even if she doesn’t need a swanky party complete with a mini tiara and pony, it’s still nice to appreciate the lady who has helped shape me into the woman I am today. So in honor of May 8th I’ve complied a list of 10 gifts for your mom to make her feel extra warm and fuzzy.
Happy Mother’s Day!
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.
With Coachella photos clogging my instagram feed, warm weather #fomo is real and I can’t wait for tan skin and days on the beach, which are seemly far away right now. I heard it just snowed three feet in Colorado and it’s almost May… I’m feeling bad for all you CO ladies and wanted to offer some sunshine and advice to help you feel a little warmer and look like you spent the weekend dancing with Kylie Jenner in the desert. Without further ado, here are my tips for achieving a natural glowy look that is Kardashian inspired, sexy as hell and a nod to that summer skin we’re all craving right about now.
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.
Good Morning!
What is it about warmer weather that makes the days seem longer? I’m all about it because recently I’ve been feeling like the weeks are flying by. I also love any good excuse to throw on some cute sandals and shorts and head out the door.
I used to be totally against pony-tails. I thought they were lazy and unpolished and were exclusively acceptable at the gym.
Welp. I’ve changed my mind. And maybe it is because I’ve become a little lazy, and I’ve really embraced unpolished and slightly messy hair, but I’m all about the pony. My favorite way to wear a pony is by braiding my bangs back into a messy fishtail. I also love tossing in a light curl for a little more volume and texture.
Spring has sprung, and although the weather in Colorado still has it’s bi-polar moments with 12″ spring snow storms, I couldn’t be more excited about transitioning from my heavy winter wardrobe into something that is lighter and has more color.
As always, there are trends that were shown on the runways that are just too much for me, but I’ve decided to put together a little list of the spring trends that I’m totally on board with, and can’t wait to try for myself.
