Hey all!

I can't believe I start senior year in a week and a new job on Wednesday. Everything is happening so fast and it is exciting! I can't wait to have a great year full of change and lots of new memories.

I already got my planner and backpack and all my things for my classes. I'll be doing a separate post of where I got everything on Wednesday. But I wanted just new/different everything because I just needed fresh start at this new school to finish strong.

Moving on to this outfit, it has become my go to outfit to wear this summer when I have run out of ideas. I got this dress from Rue 21+ when tie-dye became a thing for 5 min again. But honestly, I love tie-dye so much I used to wear tie-dye shirts all the time when I was younger. So go figure at 21 I wear tie-dye dresses now.

I also found the PERFECT ripped jean jacket & it's cropped which is great. I love putting it into my outfits to make it edgier and less put together. I found these shoes at DSW on super sale and they are the most comfortable heels I have ever owned. I can wear them for hours. Then I put my favorite hat on and jewelry from Francesca's.

Tempe Photographer Rylie took these photos for me. You should checkout her page here. I can't wait to collab with her again. I hope you enjoyed this outfit!

Project Confidence

Hey all!

Today's post is gonna be a little more personal than most. I came across Dia&Co talking about confidence and stepping out of your comfort zone by trying fashion styles you might be too afraid of.

Dia&Co is a monthly subscription service box where you get a curated box of fashionable clothes from a stylist that works with you to cater to your specific style! Not only do they challenge each other and their clients to not feel like they are stuck in a box of certain clothing they are allowed to wear, they have challenged me as well. I decided to share with you an outfit that is outside of my comfort zone.

When facing my fashion fears and wearing something that I might be too afraid of I couldn't think of anything at first. It is rare for me to find a clothing trend I don't try because I don't think I can rock it. But when I thought about it some more I realized that there is a lot I haven't tried or that I won't because it might make other people stare at me in a way that is judgmental.

When I was in high school I would never wear something like this let alone buy it from a store. I wore the same 5/6 styles of clothing and I never wore anything too revealing until maybe this past year. I would wear anything that hid my curves and was flowy or baggy enough to not show my stomach. The older I got the more daring my style has become and the more my confidence has grown because of testing my own limits of what makes me comfortable.

I chose to wear something really form fitting. That hugs all my curves that I used to hate but I now have accepted them as a part of me and want to show them off proudly! I found this dress from GS Lovesme and knew it was perfect with this post. It is off the shoulder which is great because I love my shoulders. I paired it with a statement necklace, agate stone bracelet, and some fun tassel earrings. I pulled my hair back because my shoulders were the focus and put on some laser cut heels to finish the whole outfit.

I really enjoyed doing this post and hope to do more like this in the future!

For The Love of Blush Ft. GS Love

Hey all!

So this week my boyfriend is visiting me and we have a whole weekend of fun planned together. I'll probably be posting about it on Instagram and other media's. Yesterday we caught up with another friend of mine and went to this amazing donut place called the Fractured Prune if you're in the Glendale area you need to try it.


I got a few items to do some full outfit posts in certain brands clothes to focus more on them and what I think about their clothes. Today's post is about this company I came across called GS Love on Instagram from some other plus size bloggers. So I decided I wanted to do a post on this shirt (its sold out now so I linked something similar!) and shorts as soon as I saw them I knew exactly the outfit I had in mind.

At first, I was really worried about sizing and when I am ordering from someplace new I have to take into account the make of the clothing and the reviews on items. In my opinion, I think some of the more chiffon type material is true to size if not a size smaller. So you won't have much wiggle room, and I'd get a size bigger for those type of blousy materials. But the more soft shirts or tee's they are true to size and roomy even. These shorts were a little tight but I like that they don't move and they're so soft and comfy.

I did buy a dress from them I plan on wearing soon as well. But overall I really liked a lot of their items on their website. They are so colorful and fun and way outside of my comfort zone which is perfect. I can't wait to try more! Stay tuned for the next post on GS Love!

LYLD {Little Yellow Lace Dress}

Hey all!

I am beyond excited to share these photos that fellow Tempe photographer Rylie captured of me. Her post on this collab is linked here! We got lucky and found this amazing background to play with all the color I was wearing.

Something her and I always try to work at when going out on a shoot is to find something that will compliment what I am wearing and try to bring forward that color or focus on the piece. We ended up spending the whole day together and it was too much fun.

I am FINALLY wearing some SugarFix earrings by Bauble Bar. I have been wanting to buy some of their products for months when it launched at Target but the one by my house never has any. And I found these shoes on clearance at Target that is similar to these ones floating around the blog-o-sphere.

I hope you love this collab! Stay tuned for more projects with the talented Rylie!

Tulle Skirts & Collabs

Hey all!

I hope your weekend was long and spent by the pool! Because mine was well spent with some amazing friends. I got to celebrate a birthday with a good friend on Friday, then had a pool day on Saturday, but on Sunday I got to see one of my oldest friends.



But most importantly I am really excited to announce this collab with Rylie. She is a photographer in Tempe and extremely talented. Her site is here and she already has some of her projects up. I am an incredibly proud of her work and a humble friend lucky to collaborate with her.

We ended up getting lunch and catching up like no time has passed. We ended up exploring and finding some fun buildings to shoot at. I am excited for more photos with her in the future!

Her photos of me are also here on her site and she has tons more to go through. I definitely recommend her she has a great eye and is easy to work with if you're looking for someone to take your photos this summer!

Enjoy!

Am I Hip Yet ft. Lovesick

Hey all!

I am back from my little family vacay. I thought I could post while I was at the lake but it turns out I had no wifi! Whoops! So here I am a week late with this post but that's okay just means I have to catch you up on life!

On The Job

Hey all!

I hope your week is going well! My giveaway just started yesterday.. YAY!! So go click on my last post 3 Years to enter the giveaway! You have until next week and then I will be picking the winner!

These past two weeks have been crazy. I got a new job, my sister graduated high school, and all my family was in town at my house. I am so proud of my sister and can't wait to see all the amazing things she will do! I also got my Associates in Business a few weeks ago so there was tons to celebrate!

3 Years

Hey all!

Today is my blog's 3rd birthday. I am lost for words to thank each and every one of you for even clicking like on a photo or reading what I have to say. I can't express how thankful I am to you for supporting me these 3 years. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Settled In

Hey all!

So sorry for the short absence. I had finals and then I was moving back home for the summer and then job hunting! But I am back and ready to do some major blogging this summer. I have so many ideas and can't wait to celebrate my blogs birthday on Monday! I plan to do a fun giveaway this year that you will LOVE.

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.

Let's Polka

Hey all! 

An update on work: STILL LOVING IT! I love all the people I work with and the environment. Everyone is so friendly and nice and that is so comforting to me because when I mess up I don't get scolded I get told the good/bad of what I did in a positive way. Everyone makes each other perform better. AHH I just love it. I also got to learn cash register which was pretty fun. I am still learning but its a blast. 

I also just realized that it is the 21st of June. Wow time flies. Move in day for school is August 11th and classes start the 16th. It's crazy to me that school will be starting soon and I hate to think of the small amount of time I have left with friends. A lot of my friends are a year or two younger than me so leaving for college, to Kansas no less, is the hardest thing I have done. Not to mention my crazy family and how much I will miss my siblings and parents. But then again it isn't as hot there and I can wear fall clothes all I want :). 

Although, I am very much enjoying my casual clothing style this summer. Here is a yet again super casual look. Guys I swear I haven't been doing it on purpose I just have been enjoying being a bit more casual and not dressing up. Well I guess where would I even dress up to? Anyway I think this outfit is perfect for anyone. White distressed jeans and a cool printed button down is perfect for summer. I wore a blue with white polka-dots shirt because I wanted something with a print but nothing too overpowering. Then I added gold shoes and jewelry to finish off the outfit.

Enjoy!

Summer Sun

Hey all! 

Thought I would update you on my first day of work! It was SO much fun. I had such a blast with my co workers and couldn't stop laughing. My manager made such a great point that the store is like a gym for some people because they go 2-3 times a week. I am really excited to have this job and can't wait to blog about interesting things that happen to me at work or interesting people I meet. 

Today I was only running around the house and went to take care of some errands so I thought a good light weight outfit would be nice! Coral is officially my color for the summer because it's all I have been wearing. From lipstick, to scarfs, to shorts. 

Funny enough my fingernails match my shorts. Again this summer I have totally been loving just basic everything and either dressing up the top half or bottom half. But this week I wanted to be really casual with super bright coral shorts.

Enjoy!

The Summer Chop

Hey all! 

So I bet ya'll have figured out that I got the typical summer chop. It was definitely a 'need to do' after not cutting it and letting it grow out all year. Here is a picture of my hair the beginning of the year:

 Here is my hair at the end of the year! Wow it grew a lot. But unfortunately it was really unhealthy after my ombre, and not cutting the dead ends for a long amount of time.

 And here it is now! I am very happy with my little layered bob I have. It is very me. :) My hair is so versatile now I can straighten and curl it in no time!

If you're thinking of getting a summer chop I definitely recommend! You will feel 10x better getting all the dead hair off your shoulders. Here are some cuts that are perfect for summer this season. 

1) The wavy bob is perfect for the casual person who jut spritz some beach spray in their hair and calls it good. It is definitely manageable and easy to put up during the summer heat.

2) Can we talk about Jennifer Lawrence and all her glory. AH. Love that girl. Anyway her pixie is just to die for. Too perfect if you want something layered and chic and completely different.

Hope you enjoyed!

Xoxo,

Malori
