Simplicity

Fellow Fashion bloggers, have you ever had that "perfect" photo location in mind, taken the photos, and then realized the location wasn't so perfect? Welp, these photos pretty much sum that up. Oh well, as I've said before, my photos aren't professional but we are working on it!

I love a chambray buttondown with crisp white jeans for a simple look. Throw on some fun jewels and lipstick and you're ready for the day!

How were everyone's weekends? Mine was wonderful. Momma and I went to Tucson to set up my bedroom for the final semester. I got to see two of my sweet girlfriends while I was there and ate lots of Mexican food, pretty perfect I'd say.

Beach nights equal oversized sweaters, white jeans, and sandals. Much different from Arizona nights, can I move here?

Birthday Suit

Boy, aren't you glad those pictures weren't of my actual "birthday suit"? I just liked the title ;)

I arrived in San Diego on Saturday for my family's annual trip and celebrated my 21st birthday with some of our closest family and friends. About 50 of us went out to dinner and filled up on pizza and cake. I got a little chocolate wasted since I don't drink alcohol, it was divine. I am just so blessed to have so many people who care about me. I teared up when my sweet daddy gave a toast, it was one of those moments where you look around and just can't thank God enough for all you've been given.

We took a few photos but had a hard time getting my new camera lens to cooperate at night. Sorry fam, I love you, but our pictures were blurry messes so those won't be getting posted.

Happy Monday pretties! I hope you all enjoyed your weekends. As I mentioned last week, I spent the holiday and weekend at my parents' cabin. It was just glorious. We played bags (cornhole), took morning walks, played board games, ate yummy food, and enjoyed the weather that was 50 degrees cooler than home. A cell tower was down all weekend but I was secretly happy, I hardly looked at my phone or computer all weekend.

This little trip was merely a precursor to my family's annual vacation to San Diego this coming Saturday (which also happens to be my 21st birthday). Yay for family, friends, food, and fun!

July Must Haves

July has always been one of my favorite months. First off, it's my birthday month. My family always takes a trip to San Diego in July, we spend the 4th of July in the pines, it's my last full month off before going back to school, and although it's sweltering here in Arizona, we do get some amazing monsoon storms.

My must haves for July include some classic summer pieces, fun accessories, and patriotic gear for 4th. What are your July must haves?

The Perfect Wedge

I've been lusting after these DVF wedges for months, so as soon as they went on sale I just had to snatch them up. They're really the perfect wedge. They can be so easily dressed up or down and go with just about anything. Definitely my favorite summer purchase so far.

Don't you just love finding a perfect shoe? A shopaholic's dream.

Happy Wednesday pretties! We are halfway through the week, going by crazy fast for me! I'm trying to catch up on sleep this week as I've had the hardest time falling asleep lately... let's hope by the weekend I will be all ready to go again :)

Oh, and it's gonna be 117 in Arizona this weekend. Not okay. Bring on San Diego in July, ready to escape this heat!

Zara Dresses

 photo Screenshot2013-06-18at10048PM_zpsd5f369b4.pngHow amazing are all of these dresses? I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites but Zara has the best array of summer dresses right now. I love how light and airy they are, plus I know that they can be easily worked into the fall wardrobe by adding a denim jacket and leggings. There are definitely going to be some of these babies on my birthday list!

Summer Nights

I LOVE summertime. Pool days, snow cones, sundresses, and just the feeling of being free. Summer nights are amazing. They make me feel like I'm in high school again; like they'll never end and I don't have a care in the world.

My summer night uniform is a cotton sundress, sandals, and a crossbody. What more do you need for hanging out with your favorite people, eating yummy food, and soaking up the warmth?
