My Style: Garage Festival

Today's Look: is all about LOVING Garage, a Montréal-based company owned by Groupe Dynamite, Inc., which designs, creates, markets, and distributes beautiful clothes and accessories. I have followed Garage's website and blog because their style is trendy, fresh, young, and fun. I saw that they were offering a contest to win a trip to Montréal, Québec, to be Garage's official, onsite blogger correspondent during the Osheaga Music & Arts Festival 2014. I am excited to announce that I am one of twelve finalists and am featured on their blog at http://blog.garageclothing.com/2014/06/garage-festival-contest-semifinalist-shelly-stuckman/. I'd appreciate my lovely readers checking out their blog post and leaving a comment. Winners will be announced on July 14th, so send positive karma my way! Now for the outfit, I'm wearing a darling striped cropped halter tank, retro-inspired high-waisted roller shorts, a beautiful festival tunic shrug, a delicate double tier pendant necklace, and funky clear sunnies for a great festival look. Additionally, I added a Garage cell phone case, Steve Madden booties, numerous jewelry pieces, and a woven backpack. Hope your summer is going great and let me know about any music festivals you have enjoyed! Xoxo, Shelly

Fashion Tip: High-waisted "roller" shorts are the new cut-offs. Having no front pockets, they have a slim, flattering fit. Being retro, stylish, and sexy all at the same time, I say they are a summer closet must!

My Style: Free Spirit

Today's Look: is festival chic, inspired by one of my style icons Vanessa Hudgens, and fun for the hot summer days approaching. To get this look, I started with the tribal jacquard cage-back crop top in black, beige, and taupe and denim cut-offs. I just had to add a floral headband, cut-out ankle boots, and a crocheted vest. Adding the perfect finishing touches, I accessorized with infinity earrings, a studded leather bracelet and belt, and tarnished metal rings. To get an idea of what bloggers go through, I have a story for you, my loyal readers. For this shoot in particular, I knew I wanted lush green trees, mother earth vibes, and of course, beautiful lighting. My photographer and I set out searching for a great spot. We had to hike through a field, down a steep slope, and through (not past but through) numerous shrubs to get to this location--I saw the logs from the highway and thought it would be an awesome setting. Although the area looked stunning in the pictures, during the photo shoot I felt like I was under attack; I had to ward off ants, bees, rodents (at least I think I heard a few scurry away in the bushes), and scratchy branches. Luckily, we survived the wilderness and got some great pictures which made it worth the work. When I got a chance to look at the photos that night, there was a spot on the back of my top in one of the photos. I zoomed in and it was a ginormous bee just hanging out, chilling on my back! I'm very allergic to bees and very thankful I wasn't aware of its presence and that it didn't sting me. Goodness...the things we bloggers go through for that perfect shot. Anyway, that's my dramatic story. haha Hope you're all having a wonderful week. Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Boho Grunge

Today's Look: is about exploring the darker side of boho chic. I selected a relaxed dress in black with a grey panel inset. To add more life to the dark hues of the dress, I accessorized with bright peacock feather earrings, jeweled rings, a skull-shaped beaded necklace, a crystal pendant, and colorful friendship bracelets. To integrate more of a grunge feel, I added a wide-brimmed black hat and distressed combat boots. Remember life is too short to wear boring clothes. Have fun mixing up styles, colors, and looks. My style is definitely eclectic and trendy which keeps life more exciting. It's always a great time to try a new style :)

My Style: Jungle Festival

Today's Look: blends the wonder of the Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival with the beauty of an Ali & Kris jungle-print blouse. I styled the Coachella Festival look from head to toe, including a rosebud headband, fringe purse, burgundy cut-offs, and cut-out ankle boots. This look is inspired by a combination of a 1960's flower-child hippie along with the current trend of jungle/animal print. By the way, I wanted to thank you all for reading my blog and giving me amazing support over the past year. Today is the one year anniversary of my blog! Arizona Girl is officially one. If you look at my first posts, the photos were taken using an iPhone 4 and in my backyard or in front of my garage. I like to think I've come a long way. You'll still see my back deck from time to time, but I hope my photographers will continue to use their Nikon and Cannon cameras for lighting adjustments and that I have time to drive to different locations for variety. You all rock and thank you for a great year! Xoxo, Shelly
