Clear Purse + Handbag Trend
The clear everything trend reminds me of my early high school days when we had clear backpacks - mini and normal sized. Clear purses were the trend, and boy was I on fire shopping at Contempt Casuals - flashback!
spring + summer style
New Things I Purchase for Spring and Summer
Every season I treat myself to a few new things. OK wait, I know, I buy a lot of stuff, I get it. But I intentionally look for a few wardrobe updates for the spring and summer season - because in Phoenix, it's a really long time!
Where the Wildflowers Are
I hear blooms are popping up everywhere with the abundant rain parts of the country have had. Like the poppy fields in California, and the wildflowers we have in the desert. I am imagining the lovely photo ops happening right now.
Instagrammable Palm Springs Spot: The Monkey Tree Hotel
I discovered one of the most Instagrammable spots in Palm Springs I'm excited to share with you in hopes the next time you visit the area you can stay here. The Monkey Tree Hotel was kind to invite us to stay, courtesy of Palm Spring Preferred Small Hotels which is a collection of independent inns, villas and resorts. They are hip, modern, and you can find one that fits your specific needs - check out more hotels here. We picked my birthday weekend because of weather and well, can you think of a better time? I can't wait to show you around the resort and share some cool finds as well as share some of the latest collection of fall from one of my favorite, near and dear to my heart brands, Lilly Pulitzer - because when I think resort, palm trees, and Palm Springs, it's always Lilly attire.
Pucci Inspired Scarf Dress: The Print Bow Dress
One of my best girlfriends celebrated her birthday at Barrio Queen (Day of Dead themed Mexican restaurant) and I wore this outfit - took these photos right before we took off to meet her for dinner.
My Blue Suede Jacket
I can't believe it's middle of August already, and according to my closet I'm ready for fall, just need a few more things! *wink* I have an upcoming fall trip to South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Utah and I'm so excited to escape for the last bit of summer and then - garden time!
Comfortable Sandals: Light as a Feather Sandals
Have you ever loved something so much that when you see someone, you remove it off your body and insist they try it on? I have been doing that a lot lately (I have only done this once to a stranger lol) and when my friends try on my FitFlops they are like, Wow these are the most comfortable sandals and shoes they mold to your feet!
Life Lately: Anne with an E and adulting
Benjamin was gone for a few days last week and friends often ask if I ever get bored when he's gone. Truthfully, it's a great time for me to be lazy and productive at the same time. I binge watch a lot, work a lot, and I get super messy when he's gone and then I clean up my tornado mess right before he gets home! It's the strangest thing, that I get more done ...
