Hey all!

I know I talked a little bit about my weekend with my boyfriend but I wanted to talk about all the adventures and places we went to. These first photos are just ones from my Snapchat or Instagram story. 

I forgot to mention in my last post about going to get donuts at this place called Fractured Prune. Man oh man are they sinful. After I picked him up from the airport we met up with a friend of mine and went to listen to live music and get donuts. 

I talked about last time how we went to the MIM and then we ended up driving to Prescott {which is up in northern Arizona for those of you who don't know} to go see my bf's grandparents. It was so much cooler up there I was insanely jealous. The view was amazing too with all the mountains and green trees. We ended up going to dinner with them at this place called Bills Grill which has one of the best burgers I've ever had. Then went to this coffee place that had a gallery upstairs and winery downstairs and in the middle was this spice/jam/condiment section.

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!

L'ange Titanium Wand Review

Hey all!

I am finally doing a review on the L'ange 25mm titanium wand! I am over the moon to finally talk about this curling wand. I have used Nume for years and it honestly was cheaply made wand and destroyed easily and takes forever to curl my thick hair. I watched a live video of someone talking about this iron and they had thick long hair like me so I decided why not! Before I get into this you can use coupon code: IG50 to get 50% off your order AND a free heat shield.


Whenever I need my hair to stay curled for a long period of time I wash my hair like normal and then put in a frizz creme/or smoothing serum. I use Pantene serum for my ends and John Freida creme throughout my hair for my natural curls to be less frizzy. I blow dry my hair first, usually the night before so it has enough time to cool down in between styling it.

I used the Bumble & Bumble blow dry repair and the L'ange heat shield to protect my hair.

Then I sectioned off my hair in 2 sections and start with my bottom pieces first. I used the heat shield the next day too before I use the curling iron. And I brush through each section before I curl.

Bralette Review Ft. Stylzoo

Hey all!

I have a review for you guys today on some bralettes from Stylzoo. I loved the last bras from them so I had to try the bralettes when I was told they were going to sell them next. You can find the bralette here if you're interested in buying one!

I am going to go ahead and say they do run small. So ordering at least a size or two up is helpful. Especially if you're me and are more endowed in the chest area. Overall they fit rather comfortably and I like that they have a hook in the back to make it criss-cross.

I loveeee the colors of both of these are blush and a mauve. The camera doesn't do the mauve justice because it honestly is so beautiful in person. The lace also isn't scratchy like most materials. It is really soft and comfortable on my skin. 

They also have some new comfy bras if you wanna try those first here.

Hope you enjoyed!

Color & Chic

Hey all!

I told you I am obsessed with some blues and neutral's to compliment each other lately. I am absolutely in love with this dress. I got it from Rue 21(it is a little short) and it is so comfortable even though it has long sleeves.


I also want to get back into doing more hairstyles in my photos so I decided to do a braid on the side! I also am showing off a new lippie from Colourpop that I linked down below. It is coming off more purple in photos but it is a satin pink mauve.

I ended up going to dinner with friends in this outfit at this place called La Bocca. They are a modern Italian place that has these planks of bruschetta. My favorite is this ricotta and honey one. We had a fabulous time catching up and had tons of laughs. Our new goal is to try new modern places around town instead of sticking to the same 2 places all the time. It's more fun to go out and explore more areas and make some fun memories together.

I linked all of the items below. I hope you enjoyed!

What To Wear: Sporting Event

1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//

Hey all!

I decided I want to do this segment giving tips for what to wear to certain events. Especially ones I plan on going to during the summer or even have gone on. But most importantly I want to talk about things not to wear because I have most definitely been the one to wear the wrong thing to an event.

I went to a baseball game recently and loved what I wore. I had on a white and black striped shirt with some distressed jean shorts and converse. Then I tied a red button down around my waist. I added a watch and some gold jewelry and earrings that were super simple. Then to finish the outfit I wore, of course, a baseball hat for the team I am cheering on!
