Hey all!

Yesterday my mom, brother, and I got tired of being cooped up in the house so we decided to go take some blog photos somewhere nice! here is this place in Scottsdale near my church called DC Ranch. And lots of people take senior photos over there because it has a rustic vibe and has lots of stairs, pebble walls, and very urban theme.

Something New, Something Old, Something Olive

Hey all!

I hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday! I know that I have enjoyed my Christmas. I can't believe it already came and went. I totally just wanted to sleep in but my brother got us all up around 6:40 and then we opened presents and ate breakfast until 9 or 10. I think the most exciting gift I got was a record player and the Pentatonix Christmas album! I think everyone can agree that the older you get the best Christmas gift is just being with family which is something you can't buy. I love to watch my siblings open gifts though and watch the excitement on their face. Thats always my favorite part.

All Wrapped Up In Red: Holiday Look

Hey all!

Its Christmas Eve!!!!!!! :) I can't believe we're almost through December and tomorrow is Christmas. Probably because I am getting older and the only thing I really care about during the holidays is being around my family. Which I have really been enjoying spending time with them!

Desert Wonderland

Hey all!

I am so happy to be home finally and spending some time with my family. We have already had many home cooked meals and I couldn't be happier. REAL FOOD! We also went ahead and saw Star Wars and it was sooooooo good! I totally recommend it as a family, friend, or date night movie. Not only that but I am very excited to post my holiday look on Christmas Eve. If you saw my Instagram I wore this red dress that I am in love with.

Winter Break

Hey all!

Sorry I know it has been awhile but these past two weeks have been insanely hectic. I have had final projects, papers, exams, ect and THEN finally I took my last final and played my jury piece. I am officially done with my first semester of my Sophomore year. And man it was hard. I don't think I have ever had so many finals and projects due last minute before the semester ended.

The Classics

Hey all!

I hope you enjoyed your break and are excited that it is finally December!!!! That means we can all just sip on some hot cocoa and watch Hallmark and ABC Family Christmas movies right? RIGHT!

I love the holidays and I already went and did my christmas shopping during Black Friday! It wasn't all that busy mostly because of the weather. We had a lot of freezing ice storms which made the roads really dangerous to drive on. But besides the horrible weather I had a great time! I bought these boots I am wearing in this post. HOW CUTE ARE THEY!? *insert heart eye emoji*

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey all!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I hope you all watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, eating good food, and enjoying the company of your friends and family. I am currently eating food with my aunt and uncle and their sons, and my sister and mom.

200th Blog Post!

Hey all!

THIS IS MY 200TH BLOG POST!!!! I cannot thank all of you enough for supporting me and continuing to read and like and share my posts or photos. I love the feedback and everything you say is so sweet and warms my heart. Thank you! I wouldn't have done this for this long if you didn't keep reading.

Cup Of Warmth

Hey all!

Today I am going on a trip to Kansas City to a museum (I can't remember the name) and I am completely excited! I have never been to KC so it will be nice to go somewhere new. I have been cooped up in this little town for too long. I definitely need to get out of town and have some me time. I will be taking tons of photos and probably post them on my other social media maybe on here in my next post? Not sure yet but in my next post I will definitely be talking about the museum and just getting to stroll around KC!

Autumn Leaves

Hey all!

I am so happy that it is November! I absolutely love fall everything and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! I am not going home again this year but my mom and sister are coming up and we are spending some time with my mom's family. My sister and I will also participate in black Friday yet again.

Cameo & Lace

Hey all!

A moment of silence for my SD card..... I have had it since I got my nice camera so over a year. It just completely broke today when I was about to take some new blog photos. I am actually sad to see it go but it was time. Once your SD card is no longer safe to touch because it shocked and scratched you, it is time to throw it out.

Transitioning Seasons

Hey all!

Sorry for the absence guys! I meant to post this outfit last week because it has been in the 70s this week and 50s in the morning. Perfect transition into fall weather. You know its officially fall when you have unpacked your leggings & flannel and put away the shorts & tanks.

First Day Of Fall

Hey all!

YES FALL IS UPON US! Finally we are now transitioning into fall weather (hopefully), sweaters, spiced coffee, cozy blankets, pumpkin scented candles, etc.

Also remember how I said I was going to the Hutch State Fair? Well I did with a group of ambassadors. If you don't already follow me on social media I posted some photos of us during the day. We went to a tiger show, saw so many animals, ate great food, and even got to take a ride on the lift to see the whole grounds. I don't know how I got suckered into going up there (I am afraid of heights) but I did.

To The Festival

Hey all!

I hope you are having a nice week! The Walnut Valley Festival (Bluegrass) is starting this week and I am so excited to go and have festival food and listen to some really cool music. The state fair also started the other day and I am excited to be going to help out with my school. We get free food which is definitely the best part.

Lace Trimmed Magenta & Leopard

Hey all!

So this week has just flown by. I will not complain because I know we were all excited for the 4 day weekend thanks to Labor Day! And this girl has no plans what so ever! So if you want to come on down to say hi feel free!

Is It Fall Yet?

Hey all!

I have been trolling Pinterest and Instagram lately trying to find future ideas for this fall! If you must know fall is my favorite season. I love Halloween, pumpkins, Thanksgiving, fall scented candles, cozy socks, flannel, jeans, etc.

Boho Chic

Hey all!

I hope your weekend is going well! I just saw my best friend yesterday!! It was so nice to check up with her about whats going on at school. We went shopping at the mall, Target, and Hobby Lobby. There were some special items I needed for my drawing class. Then we went to P.F. Chang's for dinner! It was delicious.

First Day Of Class

Hey all!

I finally moved in! If you don't follow my Instagram or Twitter or Snapchat then you would not have known that I finally got back to school and settled in!

I got into Kansas last Monday. We drove my dad's car with mine hitched to the back on a dolly. Anyway my dad, uncle, and I moved everything in.

Back To School | Classy

Hey all!

If you didn't know already I am back in Kansas finally! I am so excited to go back to school and just learn, be busy with work, and be surrounded by friends. Summer was really fun but it is time to get back to work!

Backpack Essentials

Hey all!

I thought since first days of school are coming up pretty soon I would post about some must haves for a first day of college.

I wish I would of had someone prepare me for my first day with all the essentials you really need. Usually you are in classes all day with not really a spare moment to go back to your room and get some chapstick or a snack or your headphones.

Packing & Gabbing

Hey all!

This week I am getting ready to leave for school. I am excited and sad all at the same time. I am sure going to miss my family and friends and co workers but I miss being busy all the time with work. How weird is that? But my mom comes home today and we are having a family dinner which will be nice before I leave.

Back To School Ft. Stylzoo | Girly

Hey all!

I hope you are having a fabulous start to your weekend! Mine has been filled with nonstop work. Hooray for me (note the sarcasm). And I know I said that I was going to do one of these once a week but Stylzoo sent me this dress and I just couldn't wait any longer to post about it!

Copycat Wednesday

Hey all!

Haven't done one of these segments in a hot minute. And I really wanted to get one in before I head back to school and the craziness starts where I forget that I even have a blog.

Back To School | Preppy

Hey all!

Here is the first of three posts focusing on that back to school look. I first had the idea because I myself was trying to figure out what I wanted to wear for my first day back at school. Of course I came across a lot of options thus I had this great idea!

The Multiple Occasion Outfit

Hey all!

For the next three weeks I am going to do a back to school outfit in 3 different styles. And I was going to start today but I decided this could also be considered as a date night outfit, or going out with friends, or a girly first day of school outfit! So in a way this outfit is kind of a modge podge of things.

Dainty Jewelry & Splashes Of Color

Hey all!

Went to DSW with my dad this morning and got some sandals to replace a pair that Charlie chewed up. I can't wait to share them on here. After that we went to Mellow Mushroom to eat lunch. If you've never been there before it is a pizza place and this was the first time I had been so I just got  a calzone. It was so good! The next place I want to try before I leave for school is Toby Kieth's. IT looks really cool and my sister says the food is good.

Girl's Day Out

Hey all!

My mom and sister and I all went to get pedicure's this morning at this new place called "The Nail Bar." Cutest nail salon I have ever been too. It is very modern fashion with a chandelier and they had "adult" beverages and my sister and I got an Arnold Palmer. It was all very relaxing and a fun girls morning/afternoon.

Think Pink

Hey all!

I have gotten so many compliments on this dress I couldn't help but share.

Black Is Back

Hey all!

Try saying "black is back" 3 times fast. Well I can't because I am horrible with tongue ties.

My work told us that we had to wear leggings to promote them since they are on sale. So of course I had to go out and buy some because all my winter stuff is in Kansas, and it's too hot to wear anything long here so I don't have anything.

Let's Get Casual

Hey all!

I consider the summer a casual season. So this outfit might be nothing new to you but to others it will be. I love being really laid back with my outfits for the summer. I don't layer a lot or use a lot of accessories. I try to be as light as possible with my clothing options. Keep in mind I do live in a H-O-T state so everyone has the same motto I do.

Milestones

Hey all!

Today I was hanging out with my friend Rachel and we went and saw the movie "Selfless" that has Ryan Reynolds and Ben Kingsley in it. I thought it was good! Kind of predictable but the plot and storyline was very entertaining.

Leopard Shorts

Hey all!

If you couldn't tell already leopard print is by far my favorite print I own. And I have been on the hunt for leopard shorts for awhile. I have finally found a pair I love from Wet Seal. They are incredibly soft and flowey. Perfect for summer because they aren't sticking to my legs. And they have these little tassle poms at the end of them. God bless the people who made leopard clothing!!!

Rocksbox Round 2

Hey all!

MY SECOND ROCKSBOX WAS IN THE MAIL!!!!!!!

I was so excited to wear the pieces I just had to rip it open and see what wonderful things I got this time! I was so impressed with my last stylist picks that I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this package.

Happy 4th!

Hey all!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!! I hope you are spending the day with family and friends celebrating the great free country we live in.

Favorite Swim Suits

Hey all!

Here are some of my favorite swim suits this season. If you saw my Instagram post earlier today:

 

First Day Of Work

Hey all!

Today I start my first day at a new job. I actually have 2 jobs this summer. One at my old job in Glendale and then my other is in Scottsdale. If you couldn't tell I don't mind driving a little to work because they are both a 15 min and 25 min drive.

Father's Day

Hey all!

Hope you're having a wonderful Father's Day!!!

We went to church this morning and then went and got lunch together

at Yard House. It was delicious!! Then we just came home and watched a little

bit of the U.S. Open. I ended up falling asleep for a little bit and everyone

left me to go swimming outside! 

I hope you guys have wonderful Father's Day! I love you Dad and am 

so glad that I get to be home and hang out with you! 

Here are some ideas for your Dad if you forgot to get him something.

Xoxo,

Malori

Little Brother

Hey all!

So today my brother had his basketball game and I have been enjoying getting to see his activities and watch him grow so big. We are going to see Inside Out tomorrow. He has been wanting to see it all week and can't wait to see "Angry" one of the characters in the movie he has dubbed as his favorite. Here he is shooting the ball:

3 Summer Looks

Hey all!

Sorry for the absence but it has been H.O.T. hot the past few days. I burned myself on my stearing wheel getting into my car after work today! 116 degrees!!!!! So I am going to just hide in my house with a/c.

First Rocksbox

Hey all!

So I just got my first Rocksbox on Saturday!!!!!!! I am beyond excited to start getting these box's and styling some really neat items. My stylist put together items that I could style together. So I did!

The necklace is from Urban Gem, the bracelet is from Melinda Maria, and the earrings are from Gorjana. I couldn't be happier with my first box and can't wait to style a new one soon!

Crochet Floral Top | Date Night

Hey all!

So I went outside to take these blog photos and low and behold it started to rain! On that note, please ignore white dots in the photos they are raindrops. This rain actually turned out wonderful because I curled my hair and they were a little too tight of ringlets so as soon as I went outside and started snapping some photos they started to loosen up.

Free-spirit

Hey all!

Hope you are having a great start to your summer so far! It has definitely been getting a little hotter here in Phoenix. Try not to burn yourself in your own car like I did.

Boho Summer Look

Hey all!

I hope you are having a good weekend so far! Mine has been consisting of cleaning and going to graduation parties. Weird to think that this time last year I was the one throwing a party and hanging out with friends at their celebrations! Today I went on a little girl's day with my mom and sister. I got this adorable hat from my new work and shoes from Target.

New Job & Charlotte Russe Plus Line

Hey all!

Today is my orientation for work and I am totally excited. It is always fun to start something brand new and I am excited for all the people I will meet and experiences to be made. That is always my favorite part of new jobs.

Wet Seal Review | Floral Shorts & Fringe Kimono

Hey all!

First off I cannot believe that my freshmen year of college is over already. Everyone is right when they say it goes by fast. And man you need to make the most of it. Can't wait for next year with new friends and I will be an ambassador!

Stylzoo | Reviewing Striped Blazer

Hey all!

NEW POST FEATURING STYLZOO!!! They sent me a blazer to review and I am in love with it. Very stretchy and comfortable to wear either to an interview or even just out! I also enjoy how soft the material is and easy to move around in.

Game Day Style

Hey all!

Had the opportunity to do a post including a hat from fanatics! Since it is baseball season I thought a cute sporty chic outfit would be fun to do and be centered around... *drum roll please*...

NEW YORK YANKEES!!!!! I had fun doing this outfit and definitley checkout their gear here! If you're a sports fan like me or try to be anyway then this is perfect for you. Very simple and fun!

Enjoy!

xoxo,

Malori
