My recent obsession?

Pom beanies.

I maybe possibly might have them in 5 different colors already and I'm not ashamed of it. Cus when you find something you love, why not get it in every color possible, right? This black one I'm wearing today is from Tai Pan Trading and the pom part of the beanie is out of control adorable. Yep, I'm obsessed.

I kind of took a risk with this outfit and mixed browns with blacks. I ended up loving the results though because I got to pair some of my new favorite pieces together! This top from Shabby Apple is so light and comfy--it wears like a dream! My favorite thing about it though would have to be the cool green zipper in the back--it's like a little bonus pop of color! The other brown addition to this outfit are these boots from Pink Basis. They're a bit more cushiony (is that a word?) than your usual combat boots so you can wear these around all day without feeling any pain! These boots also have a cool floral lining in them which I wish I got a picture of, but they make them that much cooler.

A Spring Affair w/ Feral

Watch: c/o Feral Watches
Cardigan: c/o Aeropostale - Bethany Mota Collection
Top: c/o SWELL
Skirt: c/o Dress Up
Heels: c/o Lime Lush Boutique
Flower Crown: Claire's

I know it's the second day of June but since summer doesn't officially start until the 21st we can still celebrate spring right?

I've been obsessed with Feral Watches for quite some time now so I was so excited for a chance to work with them! I'll admit, I may or may not be having a spring affair with them, due to the fact of how much I love their watches, especially The Jane. I'm wearing The Jane in Brown in today's outfit and it's my newest favorite accessory! It goes with everything and anything--you can dress it up or dress it down. I love it because it's not your typical "plain Jane" watch. This vintage inspired double-layer wrap-style watch has a fine balance of class and boldness. Not only do Feral Watches look amazing, but of course they're practical because they'll help you arrive anywhere stylishly on time OR fashionably late. (;

Cheers.

I'm a proud mama.

Today is my blog's first birthday!

Exactly a year ago today, I posted my first blog post: a recipe for Brazilian lemonade! It's crazy to think that it's been a whole year since I started this blogging journey and I have to say, it's been nothing but amazing. I've made so many friends, both online and in real life #RABLJ. I've learned so much about myself and feel like I've found who I truly am. I've discovered something I am extremely passionate about and am blessed with a way to share that passion with the world! As I've grown as a person, my style and taste has grown as well.

But let's be real, this isn't really a celebration of just my blog. 

It's a celebration of you guys.

My readers.

My friends.

You guys are THE BEST.

I want to thank each and every one of you who has ever subscribed to, commented on, shared, or simply visited my blog. You guys have no idea how much your encouragement and support means to me. My blog really is my "baby" and I've been so appreciative of all the kindness it's received over this past year. I love you all and wish I could give each of you a hug, but for now, here's a [cyber hug]. ;)

*******************************

Today's outfit has two of my favorite pieces from Bethany Mota's clothing line at Aeropostale. This knit cardigan and fun flower crown are the perfect pieces for a warm summer day with a cool breeze. The weather in Provo has been exactly that this past week, so I've totally been an outfit repeater (sorry Kate Sanders) by wearing this cardigan A LOT lately. When a piece of clothing is as comfortable as this though, it's a shame NOT to wear it a ton! :)

Fun fact: Today is also my parents' 33rd wedding anniversary! I think it's so cute when couples are together longer than they've been apart. :) They're celebrating it by attending a session at the same temple they got married in! Seriously, so cute.

May 1st is just awesome.

Cheers.

#ForeverSummer + HBD Connor!!!

So I know it's only April and technically it's still spring, but now that I'm graduated, it's officially summer for meeeee!!! It's actually the beginning of my #foreversummer because I'm never ever ever getting back together with school, whoop whoop!

Speaking of summer, I'm pretty obsessed with Bethany Mota's summer collection at Aeropostale! That girl has got some serious style! I'm always impressed with people who accomplish so much at such a young age. If you're unfamiliar with Bethany, check out her cute variety of fashion and beauty YouTube videos HERE. The denim jacket I'm wearing today is from her clothing line and I love how it fits nice and snug to my body--you can find similar ones here and here. I'm also loving this floral bodysuit (it's my first bodysuit ever!), because it goes perfectly with this skirt from Dress Up! I've been looking for a perfect peach skirt for a while now and when I saw this one from Dress Up, I fell in love.

Oh, and how adorable is this Panda phone case? It's my cutest accessory yet.

Today is a special day because . . . .
