Same Girl, Different Zip Code

IMG_4482 IMG_4508 IMG_4463 IMG_4533 IMG_4525

It hasn’t really hit me that I now live in New York. I think for so many years I gave up on this dream. I’m so happy I never did. It’s not like NYC is it for me. It’s not like I’ll ever stop reaching for the stars. NO WAY. I’ve just conquered a huge accomplishment for myself but I’m not just going to sit back and let this be it. I’m keeping all of my dreams alive and pursuing more and more each day. I’m facing all of my fears left and right and if I can do it, you can do it. Never give up and stop doubting yourself-It’s wasted time. Work hard, be a good friend, love your family and things will fall into place for you. A little faith in yourself will go a long way.

About the look: I’m feeling like fall in the middle of this completely overwhelming summer heat. I cannot wait until our weather becomes more manageable because I’m melting. I’m looking forward to fall colors, romantic florals and sweater weather.

A Day In Chicago

IMG_43555IMG_4311 IMG_43441 IMG_4359 IMG_4313

I absolutely LOVED Chicago. Wyatt and I had never been but we heard such good things. It was beyond what we had imagined. I just wished we had more time to explore. We managed to stroll all up and down Michigan Avenue stopping by “The Bean” and The Art Institute. The humid hot weather was a shock for us coming from dry Denver but other than that we had a blast. We had a clear afternoon as far activities went so we obviously did a little shopping. We ate dinner at Lou Malnati’s where I devoured the best spaghetti I have ever had. (Yes, seriously: THE BEST SPAGHETTI.) We ended our night with a movie downtown and some delicious ice-cream. We originally planned on going to a Cubs game but we needed to get back to the hotel where we left Finely for the day.

Overall, we give Chicago a thumbs up. We can’t wait to go back to see the architecture, old buildings, Wrigley field and much more.

Girly Details

IMG_43310 IMG_4243 IMG_4276 IMG_4239 IMG_43302

On a recent date night out with my super hot husband I wore this extremely girly blouse and pink bow shoes with a touch of distressed denim. It was a quick and spontaneous date night so I didn’t have time to figure out the outfit details. I threw on this beyond gorgeous blouse that I got in the mail that day and when I’m in a time crunch I reach for my comfort zone denim-distressed boyfriend jeans. I recently scored these super sweet and feminine mules and it was the perfect moment to bring them out to play. I absolutely love the mix of the sea foam green with the blush. It makes for the perfect feminine ensemble. I won’t be surprised if I wear this exact outfit again in the future. It’s a favorite already.

Easy Breezy Jumpsuit

IMG_4219 IMG_4204 IMG_4216 IMG_41193 IMG_4217 IMG_4210

Put me in a jumpsuit and I’m forever happy. A striped one, a blue one, a red one, a black one, a strapless one, a button-up one, and even back baring one…I’m all for it. I can’t tell you enough how much I’m obsessed with jumpsuits. They’re so trendy and easy to wear. You don’t even have to try to be fashion forward in them because, girl, you already are. They take all the work out of planning an outfit because they’re statement enough. Since I began my journey with jumpsuits, I’ve accumulated more than I can even mention but there always seems to be one that comes out that I absolutely have to have. This breezy, skin baring jumpsuit is absolutely perfect for summer and perfect for a day at the beach.

Femme Lace Up

Screen Shot 2016-07-22 at 1.52.36 PMIf I had to pick, I would say that I am more of a dress kind of gal. I’ll rock a dress any day of the week. If I were to wear a blouse and jeans, it would have to be a pretty special blouse. I absolutely love this floral printed and flutter sleeved blouse that I snagged recently. It was perfect for a day out and about, running errands and going out for some drinks with my best friend. I felt romantic and feminine in it without even having to try-What girl doesn’t love that? I received so many compliments that I might just have stock up on more must have blouses for the summer. I paired it with these bow-tie pink mules and the rest is history.
