My Style: Exploring Gilbert

Arizona is amazing for endless places to explore and creative people to meet!  Recently, I became friends with a local photographer Regan Norton, and we have had a blast collaborating.  For our first photoshoot, we decided to meet up in Gilbert, AZ.  Although it's part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, it has a small-town vibe, which is nice and refreshing.  We wandered around to rustic, grungy backdrops that went perfectly with the look.  Check out more photos from our shoot on Regan's blog here (1, 2).  A funny coincidence--we both arrived wearing dresses from Urban Outfitters.  Ah, to find a kindred soul is so cool :)  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Chicwish x Arizona Girl

Dreamy is the word that comes to mind when you put on this Chicwish mild baroque embroidered dress in ivory and a pair of over-the-knee, lace up boots.  I am so impressed with the quality and the fit of the dress.  I recently just graduated and I had been searching for the ideal dresses for celebratory  gatherings and the ceremony itself.  When this dress (and another one I will showcase soon) arrived, I knew I had found the perfect special occasion dresses.  For all girls looking for the perfect party dresses, I definitely recommend checking out Chicwish.  I do have to say to go by the measurements that are stated on their website( and not by your usual size) because they are right on.  :) 

Also, at photoshoots lately I have been playing the most addicting playlist and I have received requests for the song list.  I added the playlist to the top of my blog to share with all of you as well!  I am in love with the new, the up-and-coming, and the ones that deserve to be remembered again.  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Summertime Sadness

Today's Look:  showcases a soft, jersey knit romper with a delicate scarf print from Charlotte Russe.  This is the most comfortable, and oh-so cute playsuit with a fitted silhouette and spaghetti straps.  I love that it's fashionable and versatile.  I've worn it on date nights, road trips and shopping adventures.  For this particular casual day, I accessorized with a sweater kimono, silver jewelry, and lace up, heeled booties.  So bummed that school starts Monday for me.  Really trying to live it up this weekend!  haha  I wish for you a beautiful day.  Xoxo, Shelly
