Happy Post-Holidays Haze, the time of year when none of us know what the date is! I can't believe Christmas has already come and gone, and now we are days away from it being the end of 2017. The older I get it seems like this is the new norm, but each year really does fly by quicker than the last. This year, like all do, had its ups and downs. It was our first full year living in California, I finally went vegan, I started a new job, and celebrated the five year anniversary of LunaVida. I can't wait to see what 2018 brings! I love the promise of a new year and all it will hold.

[Not So] Fancy Florals: Tee + Skinnies + Flats

Hey there, guys!  How is life these days?  Things here in the AZ are great :)  Our foster dog, Kingsley, has settled in quite nicely (but he has kennel cough - the poor dude).  He and Dakota are the absolute best of friends.  Luna and Kingsley, on the other hand... we're still working on that relationship.  Do any of you lovely LunaVida readers have tips for introducing an eight pound kitty to a gigantic St. Bernard mix?  (Any advice that you have at all helps!!)  For now, we are just taking it nice and slow with the introduction process and letting the cat call the shots (as it should be in all aspects in life).
Ooh, and be sure to check out Instagram (@alliegee319) to see all the cute photos of the babes!

What spring trends have you been busting out lately?  It's already starting to get prett-ay hot here in Phoenix, so I've been wearing pants as often as possible (in order to fit them in before it's officially summer and 100+ degrees every single day, of course).

Easy, Breezy: Blouse + Shorts + Moccasins

Hellooo there and happy spring!  My birthday just so happens to fall on the last day of winter, but I've always felt like a spring baby.  I just love how the days are longer, all the stores start putting out their adorable flower pots, and the clothing gets flowier (AKA "comfier").  Speaking of flowy, this blouse has a real boho vibe, which is aligns quite perfectly with the rest of my springtime wardrobe.  What trends are you ready to bust out?

SPOTTED: Shift Dress + Tights + Ankle Booties

Happy weekend!
I remember the ol' days when I used to have actual weekends off on Saturday and Sunday. Now I work a varying schedule, and it usually includes working both weekend days. I'm truthfully not complaining though, because I love my job and that makes it worth it for sure. It does, however, put a cramp in mine and Matt's dating life though - not gonna lie. He works a "normal" Monday through Friday 8-5 job, and I usually don't get home from work until almost 8 PM most nights. It's definitely different than we're used to, but we've managed to work around it and adapt. It just means the nights I do have off, we absolutely make ourselves go on a date night, no matter how tired/lazy/etc we feel. Gotta keep the spark alive, right?!
This outfit below is one I recently wore out to dinner and drinks at one of our new favorite local places, Modern Margarita.  (If you are in the North Phoenix or Scottsdale area, you have to go there!) They have the most amazing appetizers, veggie tacos, and margaritas. The portions are perfect for getting lots of various little things from the menu and splitting them with others. SO good. Anyways - back to the outfit. I love a shift dress, like this one, for date night. Comfy, yet still semi-dressed up. Adding in tights [yay for it being cool enough to wear 'em!], a statement necklace, and ankle booties amps up the "night out" (and warmth) factor.

Sterling silver & diamond flower earrings: Gifted from my lovely boyfriend :)

Silver statement necklace (also seen here): American Eagle $4

What do you wear for date night? For me, I tend to "over dress" for dates, because 5 days out of the week I'm wearing jeans, a uniform polo, and TOMS.  I feel like my nights out are my only chance to really get did up, ya know? I gotsta make 'em count!
