Keeping Cozy w/ UGG Australia

Shirt: c/o BB Styled Boutique

Leggings: Madewell

Chambray Shirt: Madison & Sixth

Boots: c/o UGG Australia

Hat: Urban Outfitters

Necklace: c/o Made by Maru

In a perfect world I can wear my boots with no socks. Hello perfect world.

These boots from UGG Australia's new line are to die for. They are the comfiest things I've ever worn on my feet and I can say that because I don't have to wear socks when I wear them. Ahhhhh. Something as little as that can make all the difference when it comes to footwear. When the weather begins getting cold the first body part to start freezing up is always my feet. Believe it or not, when I was taking these outfit photos it was freeeezing outside (yes, this outfit desperately needed a jacket) but my feet were staying nice and toasty!

With these boots, I'll be staying comfy and cozy all fall season and of course, winter season! Seriously guys, these are life changing. Make sure you check out UGG Australia and snag yourself a pair of these boots HERE! You won't regret it!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Cheers.

Home is wherever I'm with you...

If you watch the TV show, Shark Tank, these shirts would probably look familiar to you! The Home T is a company that helps you show off your state pride--stylishly, of course. They have T-shirts, tanks, hoodies, hats, and more for every single US state, as well as international designs including Canada, Africa, Australia, Mexico and France. They even have a Disneyland Home T (because Disneyland is home to a lot of us, let's be real). Their shirts are insanely soft and comfortable, and made right here in the USA! As if they aren't cool enough, they donate 10% of their profits to multiple sclerosis research.

Home to me has always been my little island of Hawaii and Connor is from the great state of Washington. Being from different states makes for an interesting clash of culture for us. Connor is used to large lakes, while I'm accustomed to oceans. I'm used to summer weather all year long while Connor feel at home with the rain and overcast weather. But now that we have both been living in Utah for the past five years, the mountains have slowly but surely become our new definition of "home." I even catch myself saying things like "Well, back home..." (referring to Utah) while I'm visiting Hawaii! But when it comes down to it, once you meet the love of your life and begin a life together, home is really wherever your other half is. :) cue the *awwwwww

Make sure you check out The Home T and get yourself a piece of home you can wear everywhere!

On a random note, I started re-watching Parks & Rec again (for the billionth time).

Andy freakin' Dwyer is forever my favorite.

Have a great Tuesday friends!

and look out for a NEW VIDEO on my YouTube Channel tomorrow! xx

Just being a creeper...

If you don't know, I'm kinda sorta obsessed with the show Big Brother.

It's not officially summer for me without it! I mean, a reality show that airs three times a week, is filled with lots of trashy drama and twists, has amazing designs and setups for competitions, and the ability to creep on the houseguests 24/7 via live feeds?! How is that not anyone's favorite TV show? So yep, that's pretty much what I've been up to these past couple weeks. Just being a creeper. A socially acceptable creeper. Kind of.

So far my favorite houseguests are:

Liz/Julia -- Mostly cus I want them to make it to where they reveal they're twins and see everyone's priceless reactions

James -- Cus who doesn't like an asian hillbilly

Johnny Mac -- I crack up every time this kid talks because it sounds like he's drunk slur shouting. It's hilarious.

My meh houseguests are:

Audrey -- She has told way too many lies and is part of one too many alliances WAY too early in the game

Da'Vonne -- Don't get upset when you get caught doing something sketchy and people get suspicious. She plays victim way too much.

Do any of you guys watch BB??

If so, let me know what you think of this season so far and who your favorite houseguests are!

I always love gossiping with others about the lives of random people I watch on TV. It's the best.

#teamdonny for life.

Cheers.

Hey frannns!

I think we're past due for another LuLu*s fashion series, no?

I've said this multiple times on my blog and I'll say it again: LuLu*s is and will always be one of my favorite places to shop online! I just love how fresh and trendy their selections are. Whenever I'm looking for something specific, they either have exactly it or a variation of it. How can you not love a shop with all your favorite styles of clothing?

Okay, so on to the fashion series. This season I'm highlighting my favorite types of Spring Whites. Spring is all about being bright and bold and what other color to do that than white? So for the next couple weeks I'll be sharing with you my favorite white pieces from LuLu*s that are perfect for Spring!

If you couldn't tell by my outfit already, Look 1 is all about them white jeans. I've always wanted a pair of white distressed jeans so when I saw these on LuLu*s, I was sold. I think white jeans are so fun because it makes any outfit brighter and lighter. Usually jeans are the dark feature in the outfit--but with white jeans your entire ensemble pops! I've also been obsessing over stripes this season (if you can tell by my Pinterest) so I had to add a striped shirt and striped watch from dW to this outfit. And of course, with any casual look you gotta add a backpack for good measure.

I hope you liked the first look in my Spring Whites w/ LuLu*s series!

Come back Thursday to see Look #2

Can you guess what the next white piece will be?

ps. Like most of my LuLu*s fashion series, I'll be hosting a fun giveaway at the end of it! Make sure you stick around to learn more info and of course, take part in it!

Have an amazing Tuesday, frannnz.

Cheers.

Florals? For Spring?

Top: c/o Pink Blush

.....Groundbreaking.

Although it's officially Spring, the weather here has been SO bipolar lately! One day I'm keeping all the windows in the house open so I don't get heatstroke, and the next I'm huddled up my blanket trying to keep my toes from freezing off. I mean at one point this week it SNOWED. I'm so confused. I so desperately want to start wearing Spring apparel but for some reason stepping outside in shorts and sandals doesn't seem like a logical idea. So I guess I'll just settle for the middle and wear sweaters with floral print on them for now.

Speaking of floral sweaters, the one I'm wearing today is from the one and only Pink Blush! Right now they have an AMAZING spring collection in their store so if you're in a location where warm weather is an ongoing thing, I suggest you shop away! And even if you're still freezing your toes at the moment like I am, I would still shop away for those warmer days to come. ;)

Stock up on those florals!

Miranda would be so impressed.

Have an amazing Thursday, friends!

Cheers.

Let's Pretend...

A couple years ago I went to watch a play as an assignment for class. I was sitting towards the end of a row and just as the lights were dimming and the play was about to begin, a guy rushed in and tried to slip past me to get to a seat towards the center of the row. Just as he was awkwardly trying to "step over" my legs and bag, he tripped. In his attempt to save himself, he suddenly grabbed my hand for stabilization and held it for an abnormally long time--causing me to yank my hand away because I was caught off guard and things were getting weird, real fast. Anyway, he finally made his way past me, all flustered and apologetic, but before he passed me completely our eyes met and we telepathically said the same thing to each other:

"Let's pretend this never happened."

I feel like my life is full of awkward moments like this.

Which is why I knew I was destined to own this shirt when I saw it at Aeropostale.

Who wouldn't want to own a shirt that lets you be as awkward as you want?

Hope you enjoyed my a slice of my awkward life.

And this outfit.

And the gif I created of Samson and me.

And your weekend cus it's FRIDAY!

Let's party.

Cheers.

Just one of those weeks...

Cardigan: c/o StyleGirl

Leggings: Madewell

Beanie: c/o Oasap

Boots: Steve Madden c/o ShoeBuy

Earrings: c/o Made By Maru

I'm having one of those weeks.

I caught a nasty cold and I'm at the sore throat phase so every time I swallow there is pain.

The seasons are transitioning so my allergies are going crazy and my nose is constantly stuffed up.

The weather can't make up its mind so it's blazing hot when the window is closed but freezing when its open.

I'm hitting the really intense part of the workout program I've been following for the past six weeks so my muscles are shredded.

I've had bad cases of insomnia so I'm exhausted during the day.

I'm stressing out about the usual financial, future, personal things we all stress out about.

Aaaaaaaand to top it all off: It's my time of the month.

Yayyy.

On the flip side, Samson got a haircut the other day and he's looking really cute so at least he's having a great week.

I really don't like to talk about negative things on my blog because I like to keep things light and fun around here, but when you've been having a week like mine, sometimes you just gotta vent to the Internet ya know? Plus, we are all human and have gone through these types of days, weeks, or months where you feel like the world is hating on you. Anyway, I hope you guys didn't mind reading my sob story and I know next week will be a better one and every day is a new day so I'm still holding my head high and hoping for better things to come!

If you folks do have any extra good vibes to spare though, send them on over here please cus this is my current status:

Love you guys.

Cheers.
