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.
This past week was my birthday, and not that I need an excuse to drink champagne, but birthdays are always a good reason.
This recipe I found is the perfect spring cocktail to freshen up champagne. The blackberry simple syrups is sweet but tart, while the mint leaves add a refreshing layer to the champagne.
This drink is the perfect compliment to a fresh salad and creamy vanilla birthday cake.
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.
Fernweh (n.)- A crave for travel; being homesick for a place you’ve never been.
I’ve never been to Paris. But let me just go ahead and say that I think the Parisians and I would get along great.
There’s something about spring that stirs an undercurrent of nostalgia. This season is filled with graduations, the ending of another school year, weddings, showers and so much more.
Spring is beautiful, with new life around every corner. They days are longer and the nights are shorter. Happy Hour is surrounded by a golden glow and the drinks are rich with sweet berries and refreshing mint.
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.
Y’all… I. LOVE. BRUNCH.
Seriously, it’s the best meal for multiple reasons:
#1. Brunching doesn’t happen any old day of the week, so it automatically feels special.
#2. Bottomless mimosas
#3. Being in your early 20s means that there’s an assumption that you did something crazy the night before and stayed out super late, so it’s totally socially acceptable to roll in with your hair in a top knot (or braids in this case), a cozy sweater and some over sized sunnies. What’s better than that?
The 70s called, they want their denim skirt back.
So I was showing my friend some of these pictures with me wearing the denim skirt and she said “I’m having a love-hate relationship with that skirt…”
I hear ya. I own the skirt and I’ve been having a love-hate relationship with it! There are moments when I’m wearing the skirt that I feel awesome. Like a sweet throw-back to a little denim outfit that I LOVED wearing as a kid all the time. But then there are other times when I feel just like that: a little kin in a jean skirt.
