This ma serious face.

I mean, if I'm wearing a t-shirt that says "Killin' It" I need at least one picture with my serious face on, right? Connor actually isn't a big fan of my "serious face" photos (which is a reason why I don't post a lot of them). Whenever I show him two pictures I'm deciding between to post, he always chooses the one where I look happier. When I ask him why he says my smile is pretty.

Fun fact: I am one of those unfortunate humans who has a serious/angry resting face. If you have one as well, you feel my pain. Basically, when my face is resting/blank/I'm staring off into space, I look ticked off. I don't know how many times in my life I've been asked if I'm okay and I have no idea what that person is talking about. I just have a natural frown on my face and it totally sucks! So if you ever see me out and about and I look like I'm angry, I promise I'm not. Unless I'm yelling at someone or crying, then I actually am angry. :)

 Anyway, get yourself one of these sweet Killin' It tees from Style Lately (I got a medium for a looser fit)! They've got a great selection of fun graphic tees that include this cute Girl Boss top and sassy Bye Hater top! Who doesn't want to wear a shirt that says exactly what they're thinking?

Cheers to the weekend, lovelies!

Meet my boyfriend...

Watch: c/o Feral Watches

. . . JEANS!

Connor is my actual forever boyfriend, sillies.

Anyway, believe it or not, these are my first pair of boyfriend jeans I have ever owned! For some reason I just thought boyfriend jeans didn't look very flattering on me so I stayed away all these years. When I saw these pair on Abaday, I decided to get over my insecurities and go for it. Good thing I did because I ended up loving them! I love how comfortable they are and even though they have that "baggy" look, they still look chic. They also go perfectly with this adorable elephant top I also got from Abaday. I've been drawn to tribal print lately so that's why I was drawn to this top, as well as this clutch from Red Buffalo Trading!

Can I just share how PSYCHED I am that PRETTY LITTLE LIARS returns tonight???

I've been counting down the days till the summer premiere the moment last season ended and I'm so stoked that it's finally back! Does anyone know if season 5 is their final season, because I really wouldn't mind if this series finally ENDED. I have such a love-hate relationship with PLL because I'm obsessed with watching the show, yet I hate the fact that they never give you just answers--they always leave you with more questions. For once I'd like to watch an episode (aka the series finale) with ONLY ANSWERS. I just need to know who killed who, who is still alive, who is dead, and who the freak is in Ali's grave (or tomb or whatever it is now) since we all know that *spoiler alert* Ali is officially alive. Don't get me wrong, I loooove PLL, I just am frustrated with it at the same time.

Hope you guys will be tuning in tonight as well!
I'll be celebrating the premiere with my girls by making sushi and getting henna tattoos, woohoo!

You can take the girl from the island....

Necklace: c/o Skinny Pig Designs

Bracelet: c/o Skinny Pig Designs

Dress: c/o Persun Mall

Bun Wrap: Francesca's

Heels: Go Jane

....but not the island from the girl. (;

Some wise--a bit altered for gender--words sung by my favorite Hawaiian artist, Justin Young! He's otherwise known as Colbie Caillat's former guitarist and now boyfriend, but when I was about twelve, I saw him in concert back in Hawaii. My friend and I snuck a picture with him after and he may or may not have kissed my cheek and I may or may not have blushed (he's like 13 years older than me so I was  your typical teeny bopper fangirl haha).

Anyway, I quoted his song today because I dressed up this LBD today with a little tropical touch, inspired by the place I call home, Hawaii! Nothing like a little floral and shell accessories to give an outfit that "island vibe!" I doubled up a flower crown and used it as a bun wrap, and I'm also wearing some adorable jewelry from a Hawaii-based Etsy shop called Skinny Pig Designs! Using glass, crystals, sea shells, stones, and metals, Moana-Marie, the owner of Skinny Pig Designs, loves making dainty, feminine jewelry that is inspired by her beautiful life in Hawaii. She especially loves discovering something that may seem a bit rough at first and then transforming it into a sparkling piece of jewelry, which I just absolutely love!!

I've already mentioned on my blog a billion times how homesick I am and I'm making this a billion and one by saying that I'm still soooo homesick. Tonight, our friends, Amy and Eddie, who have been up here in Provo with us since my sophomore year of college, are driving to California to fly back home to Hawaii--I'm so extremely jealous that they get to go back! Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the weather right now in P-town but I'm in dire need of some ocean therapy right about now. Also, I haven't seen some of my HS friends for a few years now so a reunion is way overdue!

For now, I'll just keep singing Justin's song over and over again in my head and count down the days until Christmas break where there is a 99.9% chance we will fly to Hawaii!

Cheers.

Spring Fling w/ SWELL: Look #1

Top: c/o SWELL

Fedora: c/o SWELL

Necklace: c/o Style Lately

Watch: Urban Outfitters

Heels: Go Jane [similar]

It's time for another collaboration with one of my favorite shops, SWELL!

With spring in full swing, the need for light, yet still cozy clothes is pretty vital. The thing with spring is that the weather is always so bipolar! It could be blazing hot one day, and thunderstorming the next. With that in mind, most of my outfits always include a light, flowy top, like this SWELL Trooper Contrast Back Tee, but I don't pull out the shorts just yet. I keep my bottoms cozy just so I don't freeze to death if mother nature decides to 180 the weather. Also, I love wearing hats, like this Twilight Felt Fedora, so it can shade my eyes on a sunny day, and keep my head warm on a cold day.

SWELL is your go-to shop for your spring essentials this season! They've got a variety of clothes that are appropriate for any type of weather that spring throws at you this season.

Spring can be so spontaneous and wild--I guess they don't call it Spring Fling for nothing! :)

I'll be revealing the second look from my spring series with SWELL later this week so make sure to tune back in for that!

Also, yesterday, the talented Elena from DC in Style posted this awesome sketch that she did of one of my LuLu*s looks from a few weeks ago:

I was so flattered and surprised when I saw this sketch of me on her blog!

She has serious talent and is sooo kind! If you want to see more of her fabulous sketches, check out her cute blog!

Cheers.

Head to toe in flowers

Leggings: c/o My Sister's Closet

Top: Forever 21 [similar]

Flower Crown: Icing

Heels: Go Jane [similar]

I am literally dressed head to toe in flowers for this outfit today.

Floral overload?

I think not.

IMO, at least.

Guys, these floral leggings from My Sister's Closet (not my actual sister, but the boutique *wink) are insanely and extremely comfortable. The first thing I noticed when I put them on were how SOFT they were!!! They weren't itchy, they weren't suffocating my thighs--they fit perfectly. Usually after a long day of school or work I come home and trade up whatever bottoms I have on for comfy sweats, but whenever I wear these babies, I keep them on as my lounging bottoms because they are that comfy.

How adorable is this Blue Striped Phone Case? It's from the sweetest little Etsy shop called Alexa Z Design. Alexa, who happens to also blog over at He and I--the cutest lifestyle blog, is known for her adorable LDS Temple Prints and she now sells phone cases! Currently, her shop is on a little vacay, but check out some of her phone case designs below. They're all so perfect for this upcoming spring and summer season! I'll also definitely let you all know her shop is back online so you folks can snag some phone cases and prints of your own!
