You've seen this look already at least twice most likely...my reliable tj maxx dress and rainbow tessa clogs! My brother's friend very kindly gave me these fancy chocolate chips from a factory he visited while doing food journalism (he's a cameraman!) and so I had to bake cookies with them for everyone! They were super good. I'm definitely going to indulge in spending a bit extra for these chocolate chips once in a while, I think! I made it to my second Poshmark Live party in old town, Scottsdale and it was super fun! I went with my bestie and she even won the raffle! They had some good appetizers and charcuterie and two cocktails included in our tickets. We were still hungry and bought some food from the restaurant after staying about an hour and draining our social batteries. I got a really tasty shrimp spaghetti. Also, my friend pointed out that I blended in with the decor and even the lighting was MY color! I was really proud of this 'dreaming of fall' outfi...

dressing like the oleander bush...

T This beautiful pale pink oleander bush has been a Summer-long source of style inspiration. It's the absolute perfect shade of pink (in my opinion) and very fun to dress like! I'm wearing: michael stars thrifted tube top, kate spade bag from the real real, stella mccartney thrifted sunglasses, thrifted belt, gifted sven clogs I think I may have finally found a good pair of patch pocket jeans in my size...these are a smidge big, but I think I can make them work! I shrunk them in the dryer for a bit too. Anthro clearance rack shopping is a bit of a sport for me. The things I get there though I have on average for 5 or 6 years and if I do size out of them they are usually pretty easy to rehome! The seller of this lovely Coach bag described it as turquoise and it definitely looked greener in the photos on the listing. I could've contested it and returned it, but I DO really love the studs and I suppose it has a place in my growing blue handbag (overall closet) collection...do...

floating clogs & classic color combos.

I always love a good a pink and blue outfit, it's one of my signature color combos! Especially all Summer, there's something about wearing bright, happy colors that helps me get through the extreme melty temperatures! I'm wearing: thrifted ae outfitters top, thrifted fossil belt, thrifted levi's skirt, old f21 hat, thrifted stella mccartney sunglasses, thrifted coach bucket bag (duffle in periwinkle), tessa clogs Here's an outfit for some thrifting and to show off one of my newer and favorite skirts (I had found it a while back in a too-small size and it came back to me in my size secondhand)! I did a fun promo shoot for my original idea of having my Sven Clogs floating around in my pool to help show off their Summer 2023 line! I absolutely love their styles, colors, and new models! They are gorgoues. I'm also so happy that they re-released the lilac, turquoise, kiwi, and sunshine yellow leathers after not having them for a very long time! Here's a random c...

feeling blue (in a good way).

tee + skirt for thrifting! purple monochrome vibes I really tried to style this cactus themed skirt effectively, but I honestly still don't love it. I got it on eBay and I just don't really like the material in person (super sheer) and the fit and length...it feels like I'm swimming in fabric. I just don't know if it's a keeper... An ol' reliable dress for a date night with my new turquoise bow clogs that I'm obsessed with! Tried something new (while dreaming of Fall) by mixing this uo trendy corset top over a thrifted flowy peasant dress. I'm not sure but I think it works? This is going to get a pin in it to revisit when Fall comes around... This week's outfits are majorly teal-heavy because I filmed a reel for instagram featuring a bunch of outfits (and furniture) at my home with my favorite/power color! This polka-dot dress from Savers is always a winner..it was perfect for brunch at a favorite spot with my husband and brother on a sunny Saturday ...

making it to mid-June.

Axel is the best dog I've ever met in my life and I feel so lucky to be his mommy! He's also a natural camera-star and loves prancing over whenever I'm shooting photos or videos and I feel like it strengthens our bond even more! I'm wearing: 80's dress from poshmark, thrifted sunglasses, gifted sven clogs A very basic (and sweaty) sublime tee from my mom, thrifted leopard skirt and gifted sven clogs for a midweek brunch this green dress has been a real powerhouse piece. I'm obsessed with it under a vest, even in 100 F+ weather, I just love the silhouette to much not to wear it! This full look is secondhand, except for my French net tote that my brother and his gf picked up for me in Paris. I love using it for thrifting and errands/farmers' markets because it easily folds up in my purse for everyday use. For someone that lives in skirts and dresses, I'm having trouble not starting a big jeans collection! I recently picked up these sailor patch pocket vib...
