My Style: Country Charm

Springtime has finally reached northern Arizona!  Although I love the winter vibes, I'm soooo over being cold.  We enjoyed 70 degree days all week, until ironically the weather turned down to 50 when I stepped out for my photo shoot. So, if I look a tad bit purple--I was freezing!  Before the photo shoot, I was at the market and just had to buy these gorgeous sunflowers--happy to see them back in the stores!  For the styling, I couldn't resist pairing this beautiful, crocheted lace, off-the-shoulder crop top with these high-waisted, cuffed hem, acid washed denim shorts.  What a perfect pair.  To bring in spring florals, I chose these amazing wooden platform, t-strap, wedge sandals.  Adding accessories, I selected the oversized faux leather tote with golden grommets across the front and the straw Panama hat with a black, pleated fabric band.  Completing the perfect outfit for any warm-weather outing, I wore some pretty bangles, rings, and sunnies.  I hope wherever you live that you are enjoying picnics and sunshine--blissful happiness :)  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Spring Fling

Spring break can be the best time to surf at the beach, picnic at parks, dance at poolside parties, and listen to awesome bands.  Styling comfortable outfits is key to enjoying the best of times.  I began with high-rise, shredded cutoffs, a silky white tank, and a soft, tie-dyed kimono.  Adding a tassel necklace, platform sandals, ombré sunnies, and a gorgeous tasseled bag completed the music-festival worthy outfit.  I’m loving blue and white for spring and summer.  I’d like to hear what are your favorite color combinations for the next few months, especially if you’re planning a spring break getaway.  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: City of Love

Today's Look:  shows one of my favorite combinations of styles called boho grunge.  The darker colors of black and grey with a choker and muscle tank bring out the 90's grunge styling, while the loose maxi skirt and wide-brimmed hat accentuate the bohemian appeal.  This kind of outfit is soft and comfortable, a perfect outfit for enjoying a warm November day in California.  I visited Cali for a quick weekend trip for my brother's wedding shower, which was an absolutely lovely family gathering.  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Shake Your Pom Poms

Today's Look:  is all about celebrating the hot pom pom trim trend!  I was so excited when one of my favorite stores, Missguided, contacted me to collab to show off this amazing dress that is ideal for summer.  The pink shades and floral print make me think of tropical paradise and summer love (perfect for vacationing in Tucson, Arizona, at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort).  I styled the dress with some of my favorite new accessories including navy socks from Soxxy, a delicate bracelet from Etsy artist Lesli Neal of firesky7, my iPad decked out in a beautiful skin from Clique Boutique, and pink sunglasses from Flagstaff's finest a.k.a. Basement Marketplace.  I wore white platforms with the socks to show off their unique knit and finished the look with a simple silver necklace, two rings, and blue crystal stud earrings.  You can't see all of it, but the resort I'm vacaying at has beautiful vegetation and scenery.  You'll get a glimpse of the resort's waterfall in an upcoming post!  I'm very excited to share it with you.  I hope you are all enjoying your summer adventures.  Please let me know your summer vacation musts in the comment section below!  I always love hearing from you.  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Lace is More (Giveaway Opportunity!!!)

Today's Look:  is all about lace!  This season, lace in white, lace in pastels, and, of course, lace in black are a few of the hottest trends.  I adore this crocheted lace skirt from 9th & Elm, designed by Sugar Lips.  Quality and beauty—my favorite pairing!  Also, the skirt arrived quickly and wrapped nicely, so I was very impressed by 9th & Elm.  For the styling, I added an incredible, striped black and white crop from Nordstrom, complete with stitched daisies on the back, along with Steve Madden white platform sandals.  As you can tell from my sassy expressions, this pretty outfit gave me confidence and loads of attitude.  And for my lovely readers, 9th & Elm is offering five--I repeat 5--$100 gift cards as a generous giveaway.  Please enter below to win one of the $100 gift cards before the contest ends on July 8th.  I wish for you a beautiful week and I hope your summer is fantastic!
