GIVEAWAY x JORD Watches

I am so excited to be partnering up with JORD Watches!

I truly believe that accessories can make or break a look. I fell in love with this Sier Arcadia watch because of its unique color and marble like design on the plate. We all have seen the white and black marble but how often do you see a beautiful blue marble?! To get more technical though… it is actually Sodalite which is a rich royal blue tectosilicate mineral.

Several things that I love about this company… first and foremost, their team has been so incredible to collaborate with! Next, I love how the watch came with two wristband options as well; the blue leather band, and a gold chain mail type band, and they use lots of natural and re-claimed materials to make their products. Now here is the big winner… they have decided to GIVEAWAY $100 store credit to one lucky winner!!! All you have to do is click this link… go ahead… click it. And JUST for entering, you will receive a 10% discount on your first purchase, STOREWIDE! So really… everyone wins. It’s a win win situation.

Closing date for the giveaway will be announced shortly! And discounts will be given once the winner is chosen and the giveaway is closed. So enter enter enter!!! Once a winner is randomly chosen through an automated system, they will be emailed immediately letting them know they have won! And everyone else will receive their 10% off discount code! So be sure to be checking your emails!

Other fun facts about this company, “JORD” is pronounced “Yode” and is based in St. Louis where they are constantly working on creating and putting out new designs! You are also able to customize your watch with personalized engravings, how sweet of a gift would that be?!

Good luck to all of you who enter the contest! I hope the winner loves their new arm candy as much as I do.

P.S. peep the cute lady bug that made an appearance for this shoot! She was a pro, hung out for a long time just chilling on my watch!

Picnic On The Beach

It's been awhile...

I feel like every creative goes through a season of not really being proud of their work. We feel stuck and dismayed. This is how I have felt with my website for quite some time now. So that's why I have been MIA. I've been wanting to turn my website to focus more on my styling work and act as a portfolio but still have my blog for when I do feel like sharing my thoughts and some personal content. So after some work (and trust me, she is no where near done) I have redone my website to reflect this.

I still want to change and play with so many things but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out so far. It looks way cooler on a desktop so I'm sorry to all those who look from your phones. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope you all find this updated version easier to navigate through!

OKAY DONE WITH THAT SIDE BAR, ONTO THE REAL POST!

Anyone else really into Big Little Lies? During this whole shoot Olivia kept telling me I was giving her vibes from that show. Just casually drinking my wine along the beach like The Monterey 5.

This shoot probably was one of my favorites. Why? well for starters, we got to drink wine and eat all of the yummy props afterwards, and because of all the wonderful people involved with putting it together!

I just have to take some time to dote on these ladies… Olivia is a wonderful photographer out of Portland who came for a visit and had time in her schedule to create with me! It was so much fun catching up and seeing her again, even if it was brief. Alexis, my makeup artist, has easily become one of my closest friends. We grew up together and have always been in the same circle of friends, but it hasn’t been until this past wear that God has really brought us together and a beautiful friendship has formed that I know will be life long. I am so excited for what the future holds for us Alexis! ;)

NOW… onto something that I have been so looking forward to sharing. This whole shoot would not have happened if it weren’t for Pandemonium Millinery. Locally based in Seattle, beautifully made high end products, and a wonderful team of people. The skirt you see me wearing in the images is actually a wrap. It can be worn as a scarf, as a shawl, as a top, but I chose to use it as a beach wrap. The Coastal Garden Wrap comes in several color options and patterns. I loved this particular pattern and color because of how perfect it is for summer. Light and airy but vibrant and rich.

Pandemonium Millinery has so many more products than just these wraps; hats, handbags, beautiful faux furs, menswear, throw blankets, AND CUTE OUTFITS FOR YOUR PETS! (Totally tempted to see if my bunny will fit into one of the pieces…)

I am so looking forward to using my wrap throughout the summer once the dang sun decides to stay around awhile longer (please Washington… get it together.) We’re supposed to have some nice hot days this week so I hope everyone gets the chance to enjoy it while it lasts!

Spring , where U at?

I saw this funny meme the other day that had a lady who was crouched down and squinting  and it said, "Me: Looking out the window in the morning to see what season we doing today" and it is so true!!! I think within just the last week I've experienced fall, winter, and spring. One day its beautiful and sunny and a little warmer and then the next day, we are having just a downpour of rain!

But I won't have to suffer too much longer... becaaaauuuse... I leave for PARIS on Tuesday!!! (and it's supposed to be like 70+ degrees there.) I am so stinking excited to be going to two of my top places on my bucket list; Paris + Milan. Two of the world's fashion capitals! I have never been out of the country, except for Canada... and that doesn't even really count.

We plan on doing all of the necessary touristy things, going to a tea party, experiencing the beautiful art, and eating lots and LOTS of crepes and pasta. However, if anyone out there has any MUST DO recommendations or knows of some place that has life changing bread, then I am all ears! Can't wait to share photos of our adventures!

Siiiiidebar, but not really a sidebar cause this is a "fashion blog" believe it or not... I looove this funky little top, I'll probably take it to Paris with me. Shop the top while its on sale by clicking HERE!
