So it always seems like the hair we have is the hair we don't want. But I've learned that embracing the hair type you have will not only save your hair, but it's also unique to you. So many people I know straighten their hair instead of embracing the waves, or curl their instead of embracing the kinky, frizzy waves. I used to wear my hair natural until a few years when I got a Keratin treatment (twice), and for a long time after, my hair was never the same. FINALLY, just a few months ago, my natural waves were back!
Read MoreBackless Tank & A Sequin Bralette
I think a lot of people struggle with what to wear under a backless shirt (this one if from Gypsy Creek Boutique). Pretty much if I'm having a shirt dilemma, a bralette fixes my problem! Since this shirt is plain in the front, I needed a bralette that was also plain, so there wouldn't be any weird lines. This Gina Tricot sequin backed bralette was the perfect choice! I haven't worn it yet, so I was really excited to find the perfect outfit for it.
Read MoreA Whole Lot of Deals (and fruit on my shirt)
This outfit is full of a whole lot of DEALS, so this post is sort of a piggyback off yesterdays post!
Let's start with my shirt. If you follow me on Instagram then you saw that I went thrift store shopping recently at Savers and bought this hot pink, fruit print shirt. My mom first pulled it off the rack, thinking it was funny (& maybe ugly), and to her surprise I actually loved it! She of course laughed at me, but after trying it on, she agreed that it was cute. It was super wrinkly at the store, but I knew when it was washed and paired with the right outfit, it would probably become one of my favorite shirts.

Read MorePlain White T's at the fair
Last night the Plain White T's were playing at the Alameda County Fair. The song "Hey There Delilah" is our song, and it's what I walked down the aisle to at our wedding. So when I heard they were coming, I knew we HAD to go. I'm pretty sure the whole crowd was there just to hear that song haha, as people were chanting it all night long. It was finally played at the very end and it was the song everyone stood up and sang along to.

Looking for the perfect summer maxi dress? Well look no further :) I love that this dress from Gypsy Creek Boutique is not only off the shoulder, but also super light weight, so it won't make you hot on the warm summer days. You could easily dress it up for a wedding with heels, or dress it down like I did with my Not Rated sandals, choker, and Quay Australia sunglasses.
Read MoreCactus print & ice cream cones
California summers are hot, especially here in Livermore. This pretty much means you'll find me in shorts and eating ice cream all summer long! I live for summer, and shiver in 70 degree weather. I'm just made to be sun bathing and poolside haha. If you live in the area, then you for sure know the Meadowlark Dairy. It's a quaint drive through/walkup ice cream place in downtown Pleasanton. Growing up in Pleasanton, we went there often, and it was always our treat of choice at Friday night Music in the Park.
Read MoreA weekday beach wedding
Our longtime friend Johnny had his intimate wedding in Santa Cruz two weeks ago. It wasn't a super warm day, so I opted for a pants romper with a Forever 21 leather jacket. This romper hits me weird on top, so it has to be worn with a cute bralette, or in this case, a fitted crop top. I added a layered Forever 21 necklace, my Shiekh heels, Quay Australia sunglasses, and my handmade leather purse from my brother in law.
Read MoreFloaties are a summer must have!
Once I month a few of my wedding vendor friends and I get together for lunch. This month we decided to have a pool party which meant FLOATIES! It's always nice to have some human interaction during the day, since we all work from home by ourselves. Summer is my favorite time, and not having a pool myself, I use any excuse to swim in someone else's pool.
Read MoreEveryday Leisure workout essentials
I love cute workout clothes that I can wear to walk Sawyer around the neighborhood in or hike in. These SKYE footwear sneakers are perfect for that, because they are comfortable and supportive like regular sneakers, but have a super cute desert boot look.
