Double-sided: Tee + Shorts + Converse Sneakers


Happy Sunday! How have ya been? It's been downright beautiful here in Phoenix, but I know the 100+ degree days are not far away; thus, I am soaking up all these gorgeous, sunny days that I can. The one issue with this? I try to bust out the shorts... but, alas, my legs are PASTY. It's really, really, really painful to look at how pale they are; therefore, I apologize that I made you see them in today's post. It's just that this color palette reminds me of an outfit I would've worn in Greece last summer -- and that level of nostalgia makes it worth it.

Stripe it Lucky: Moto Jacket + Tee + Denim [& a Bracelet Giveaway!]


Hey there!  Do you have any jewelry that is so super special that you feel like you can only wear it to the fanciest of occasions?  I have a few diamond pieces that I basically only bust out for weddings, work events, and the like.  Then I realized that's kind of silly, because sometimes those sparkliest of pieces can be the prettiest with a casual outfit!

Therefore, when Anjolee sent me the darling cubic zirconia tennis bracelet that I am wearing (and giving away!!) in today's post, I decided to take a little risk and pair the shine with a low-key look.  How will you style it, if you win?  [Be sure to enter for your chance to score yourself this shiny, new, CZ bracelet at the end of this post!]

What have you been up to lately?  This past weekend, Matt and I took a road trip down to Mexico for a quick mini vacation with some good friends.  It was so relaxing, just sunbathing on the beach, with a fruity drink in hand, and no worries whatsoever.  Ahhh, sweet Spring.

Happy Thursday!  We are so close to the weekend.  I can almost taste it.  I am reeeal ready to get some errands done that have been on my "to do" list for far, far too long.  Matt and I are still working on the house, but we are so close to finally having it just how we want it.  I can't wait to throw a housewarming party so our friends and family can see the finished product -- and to share it with you all too, of course!
