For Thanksgiving, we went to Bend, OR with Adams family. It was COLD but luckily we spent the day inside, so I could get away with wearing a skirt. I have a new obsession with mini skirts. I don't love the fitted ones, but ones like this embroidered skirt that are lose fitting. To keep warm, I'm wearing tall socks and tall boots, a long sleeve top, and a vest.

My Thrifted "Desert Sunrise" Denim Jacket
I really am a morning person, but after only a few hours of sleep thanks to an INSANE wind storm, I didn't want to get up anymore for sunrise like we planned. After laying in bed in our Westfalia for a few minutes, I decided that I should get up so I don't miss getting to shoot in the glorious morning light :)If you follow me on Instagram, then you saw that I purchased 4 items for $26 from Forever 21 during their 50% off sale items sale 2 weeks ago.

The Avalon Hotel // Hotel Tonight
A few weeks ago we stayed at the Avalon Hotel in Palm Springs. We were only there for 2 nights, so I waited until the last minute to book us a room because I knew I wanted to use the app Hotel Tonight. If you haven't heard of it, it's an app that gathers all remaining rooms in the area you're looking and offers them at a heavily discounted rate. It's a great option for trips when you're open to any hotel. I know that Palm Springs has PLENTY of cool hotels, so I wasn't concerned with what would be remaining. Luckily, the Avalon Hotel had 1 room left, and it turned out to be one of their spacious bungalows. And we even lucked out, because their pools are open 24/7 which is a rare find.

Thrift Store Hack Part 2
I'm back with another thrift store hack!! This romper is from Savers, and I loved everything about it except its length and the chain that went across the front from button to button. With the help of my mom, we hemmed the shorts a few inches, and I took off the chain. Easy fixes!! For the rest of my outfit, I added a Tobi denim crop top, Latigo sandals, Neiman Marcus choker and Quay Australia sunglasses.

Thrift Store Hacks
Sorry I've been MIA on the blog for a bit! Wedding season has been in full swing, so I've been busy with that. But today I'm sharing all my favs from our desert shoot in this thrifted outfit!! This floral button up is fairly boxy, so I decided to tie it instead of button it. It gives it a totally different look and is perfect for wearing with high waisted shorts. Since I opted to tie it (which exposed more skin), I added a Three Bird Nest bralette underneath. For my shorts, these are also thrifted, and I cut them so they were shorter which also allowed them to fray on the bottoms. These quick and easy thrift store hacks are perfect for making your "old" clothes more boho and modern. For my accessories, I added a Steve Madden choker and my new green Vans!

A Top That Can Transition Into Fall
As Summer is starting to come to a close (I know, I'm not happy about it either), I'm beginning to think about pieces for Fall. I really think that the key to not overspending on your wardrobe is having a lot of pieces that can make it through the seasons. This white bell sleeve top from She In is one of those items. It's light weight enough to wear with shorts for summer, but can easily be layered with a vest and jeans for winter. For this Summer look, I'm wearing Saltwater Sandals, a Free People necklace, shorts from Plato's Closet, and Prada sunglasses from Frames Direct.

Green High Low Flare Pants
Let's talk about these pants from SheIn! When I first saw them I thought they didn't look funky enough for me, but after giving them some thought, I knew I could add my own "flare" (haha get it?!) to them! Pairing them with a platform sandal, floral crop top, choker, and fringe kimono was the perfect look for a summer party last night. I have a recent obsession for anything green, so you'll be seeing more of this color popping up in my wardrobe!

Yosemite River
My go to "camping" attire is always graphic tee and denim shorts. Since we were also attending a casual river rehearsal dinner, I added a fringe kimono and a statement necklace to spruce the look up. I love that these shorts have a fun embellishment on them too! My whole outfit, except for my shirt, is from The Pink Pig :) This outfit is an easy go to look for your every day life as well!

Dressed For Fall At An A's Game
As mid Summer approaches, I always say that I'm so ready for Fall so I can wear layers and pants again. And then Fall comes and I take it all back haha. So for now, I'm enjoying the heat, crop tops, and sandals, but going to an A's game in Oakland let me have a little taste of the cold! And let's be real, I only went to the baseball game for garlic fries and girl time ;)
