IMG_5075 IMG_5064 IMG_5071 IMG_5077IMG_5068 IMG_5079IMG_5060When it comes to jeans, I struggle. I know we all have that in common when discovering the perfect pair of jeans. We’re all so different and unique in our own ways and we need a jean that not only fits our curves or lack of curves (in my case) but a pair of jeans that will allow our personality to shine through. A quality pair of jeans that remains comfortable, stylish and flattering. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK? Yeesh. Shopping for pants has never been my favorite until I found Pilcro, an Anthropologie exclusive. Pilcro has the highest quality denim. Pilcro pieces are refined, sophisticated and affordable. Pilcro also offers Petite which I take full advantage of considering I have the body of a 12 year old boy. I could not be more thankful for the petite options that Anthropologie offers. My favorite jean at the moment is the relaxed/boyfriend fit. They add a little tomboy to every girly outfit which creates my favorite ensemble. The newest addition to my Pilcro collection are these “Carpenter” jeans. The paint splatter creates an artistic vibe which I love. I feel like I’m capable of creating something beautiful every single time I wear them. 

Here’s your chance to win your very own Pilcro jeans. Anthropologie is having an Instagram giveaway RIGHT NOW! All you have to do is Instagram your favorite Pilcro brand pants – jeans, cords, trousers or chinos- and tag it with the hashtag #PrettyInPilcro and #Anthropologie. The winning snap will receive 3 new Pilcro pairs + $500 dollars worth of clothing to go to them, while 10 runner ups will each receive a Pilcro pair of their choosing! This contest ends January 30th so get to “gramming” my friends. Good luck!

(Open to US  & Canada residents only)

With Love,

Little Blue Dress

IMG_4098 IMG_4105 IMG_4110 IMG_4114IMG_4099Forget the little black dress. Let’s switch things up just a little bit. This shift silhouette is all the rage right now. I have a bunch in my closet for those days when I don’t feel like putting in much effort and when I want my outfit to do all the talking. The boiled wool material makes the outfit a little more cozier and winter appropriate. This little ensemble is acceptable for work functions, girls night, and even date night. I went for a more “everyday” look (everyday for me) by pairing it with a striped turtleneck and statement fox printed tights. Don’t be the girl in the little back dress. Be the one that takes it to a different level with a pretty cobalt blue/green dress. It’s okay to be the oddball sometimes. I prefer it actually. ODDBALLS UNITE!

Oh, I started a YouTube Channel…here.

Xoxo,

IMG_3642IMG_3644IMG_3656IMG_3659IMG_3662IMG_3668IMG_3677IMG_3697IMG_3706Merry Christmas! It’s 1:30 am Christmas day. I’m currently munching on some biscochitos by the fire place. I hope Santa doesn’t mind that I’m eating all of his cookies and milk. He should know better to be honest. My stomach is full but so is my heart. I’m in my new pink pajamas. All the presents are wrapped and under the tree. The kiddos are sleeping. My mom and dad are snoring. It feels so good to be back home in New Mexico. I love this house on the corner. It shaped me into who I am. These walls are filled with memories that I wish I could re-live. I learned how to ride my bike on this street. I fell in love on this doorstep. I had endless amounts of sleepovers with my best childhood friends here. Wyatt and I had our first kiss down the street. Every Christmas that I can remember is in this house. There’s so much love I feel like the door could bust open any second now. I’ve only spent a year in the city but coming home is something totally different to me. I appreciate everything a little more. The smell of green chili, the funny sound that our microwave makes, the door knobs, home cooked meals, dad’s laugh, mom’s goofiness, my brothers hug….they all make this place home. Home may not be where my future is but home is what made me. More importantly, home is where I had my last and only memories with my late brother. I could not be more grateful for the memories that we shared here. Lots of giggles are held in this place. My family may not be whole but our home is. Lasting and loving memories were made here and that’s something that money can’t buy. So my friends, cherish these moments with your loved ones. Savor the good stuff. It’s not about the presents underneath the tree but the love that surrounds it. I love you all. Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. I hope your day is filled with laughter and joy

 

 

…and cute new clothes.

P.S. I am so very relieved that these photos ended up happening. I’ve been so busy packing, moving to a new apartment (blog post on that later) and working, that I barely have enough time to eat, let alone get all dolled up and take cute-sy pictures with my boyfriend. This was NOT effortless let me tell you. This post would nothing without my adorable skirt from Shabby Apple. It was made for this Christmas photo shoot. I felt like those little angels that you put on top of your tree. I didn’t feel festive this entire month until I put on this skirt. So in love. Thank you Shabby Apple for making my Christmas so fabulous.
