The weather these past few days have been crazy hot with temperatures in the 90's. With this heatwave in full effect I know I'm definitely looking to stay cool. The Evian hydrating facial spray has so many amazing benefits for your skin during the summer months. It hydrates and purifies the skin with a unique balance of minerals to leave skin looking healthy and glowing.
I love to take this spray with me on beach days or during outdoor activities such as hiking to keep me cool through out the day. One of my other favorite ways to use this is as a beauty spray for a makeup refresher. Since it is such a light mist it is able to hydrate the skin even with makeup on and helps improve the appearance of makeup throughout the day. This really comes in handy during those hot summer days when you just feel like your makeup is melting off. This is my summer must have item and with its perfect size I'll be carrying it everywhere with me!

This hanging planter is one of my favorite decor pieces in my room. It has a special place in my heart as my grandmother made the macrame hanging for my mom when she was younger. This was a piece that my mom had hanging in her college dorm room and continue to hang in my childhood home. I've always loved this hanging planer and was so excited when my mom recently let me have it for my room.
I've been seeing hanging planters pop up everywhere as a unique way to decorate a room. Its a nice alternative to only having plants in planters. I think it especially looks eye-catching in rooms with high ceilings. I love decorating a room with plants. It has a nice fresh feeling and brings in some color.
Along with plants and planters, I like to decorate by adding boho elements with pillows, candles, and unique decor pieces. I love the rustic and earthy vibe it gives to a room. Below you can shop some decor pieces to complete your summer boho room. I'm really loving the ombre hanging planters. Might need to add those to my room as well! ;)

Going back through some old photos I realized that I had never posted this outfit. This look only includes a few colors of burnt orange, browns, and blacks, and I just love the combination of fall like colors. Although it's spring, these colors are some of my favorites to wear year round.
The temperatures might be rising slowly, but this is definitely the month of over cast and rainy days. I'm just waiting for warm sunny days and colorful outfits, but until then, I'll continue to wear black. My goal for the spring/summer is to add more color to my wardrobe, however, black has and will always be my favorite color for clothing. It just goes with everything!

With Spring weather in the air and the first weekend of Coachella complete, festival season has officially begun! It's my favorite time of year spending warm spring/summer days hanging with friends, listening to good music, and of course, cute boho outfits.
When going to a festival, there are some outfit staples that are both practical as well as trendy. I put together a few of my favorite pieces that will help create the perfect boho chic outfit. I love being creative with outfits and mixing and matching patterns and textures. Going to a festival is the best excuse to dress up and have some fun!
For a festival look I would consider pieces with fringe details, coin accessories, sunnies, comfy booties/sandals, hat, belt, cross-body bag or backpack, as these all add to create a boho look.
Spring is here along with embroidered denim! Floral embroidery on denim is definitely a spring trend to look out for. Jeans are one of my favorite closet staples because its so easy to style. This pair is perfect for spring with a slight floral embroidery on the bottom flare part and a small section on the back pocket. I really like that it's not too overwhelming and doesn't take up the entire length of the leg.
With emboridery I think its best to keep everything else simple as the floral detail should be your main statement. Since the weather is warming up but still on the chillier side, I paired the jeans with a cream fuzzy sweater and some boho accessories like a fringe backpack and bullhorn necklace.

Tank Free People, Jeans AgoldE, Booties Jeffrey Campbell
These pictures were taken back in early October when we were strangely experiencing warm fall weather, which I Was definitely not complaining about. This called for being able to wear a tank top and be perfectly comfortable standing in the sun. I love when the weather nicely surprises you and makes outside fall activities much more enjoyable. Unfortunately, now we are dealing with freezing temperatures, I wouldn't mind going back to this weather a few months ago.
I have been loving these high waisted A Gold E ripped skinny jeans lately, and have been wearing them on repeat. The rips are more like slits thought the thigh of the leg rather than just large rips in just the knee area. They have been one of the most comfortable jeans I own. The fabric has a ton of stretch to it, which makes it feel like you aren't even wearing jeans. I wore this fitted Free People tank tucked in and paired it with an open chambray shirt that wasn't pictured here.

Last month I went on an early morning run with a friend along the beach. It was the perfect ways to start the morning. I just snapped a few photos after while watching the gloomy sun rise.
I love that I grew up so close to the beach. Its one of my favorite places to be, and always brings back good childhood memories. Whenever I'm visiting home, I always make my way to the water. Heading to the beach this time of year is the best since you can bring your pups along for a walk/ run, or just to even watch the sun rise or set. Nothing is better!

Free People Dress {old}, Free People Bralette, Jeffrey Campbell Booties
Back in early October, I went to visit an old working farm in my hometown in Connecticut. The farm was recently dedicated to the town's nature conservancy for public and educational use, the emphasizes the town's agricultural roots. The property still contains the existing farm house and barn from 1770, as well as a newly added community garden area.
I grew up right near this farm with all the rolling hills and acres upon acres of meadow fields. One of my favorite childhood memories was when Mr. Lachat (the owner), would let all the kids in the neighborhood go sledding on all his rolling hills. Always so much fun sledding down, but the walk back up was definitely a struggle in the snow lol.
Although it was early fall, there were still some flowers and crops growing in the community garden. I was pretty excited when I came across a few sunflowers that were still going strong. They are definitely one of my favorite flowers!
I wore this sheer lace Free People dress that has a cut out on the back and bell sleeves. I love all the detailing on this dress that makes it feel extra special. I recently purchased these Jeffrey Campbell booties and have been finding ways to wear them with almost every outfit. I have trouble finding booties that fit perfectly around my ankles. When I came across these boots that have wire and are adjustable around the ankle, I couldn't have been more exited. The taupe color is an ideal neutral shade as it can be worn with almost anything.
Unfortunately my dress was purchased a few years ago and I'm unable to find the exact one. Thankfully Free People has an endless amount of white lace dresses year after year, which made finding similar styles a breeze.

Recently I've been having an obsession over suede motorcycle jackets for the fall, specifically tan colored ones. This fall staple is one that will never go out of style as each year it keeps getting reinvented. I am really into jackets that have edgy details to them with diagonal zippers, bold hardware, and belted waists.
There are endless ways to wear this style. Wear it over dresses to balance the edginess with a more feminie piece, or even dress it down with some simple jeans and a tee. This is one item I would recommend investing in. Rather than splurging on something trendy, this is a piece you will wear season after season.
I just purchased the first one on the top row, which is by BLANKNYC. After only having it for a short period of time, it has already become my favorite/most worn jacket. It's a great price for a 100% real suede jacket and has the perfect snug fit. I purchased the tan color but you can choose from 7 different colors!
