White Out: Tank + Skinny Jeans + Flats

Sunday, September 28, 2014


No white after Labor Day?  No, thanks.  I live in a desert climate, so wearing white is a must-do for a majority of the months here in Phoenix.  Therefore, this tank top came out of my closet despite the fact that it is almost October.  Trust me - I'd much rather be busting out the scarves and boots that so many others are wearing for the fall weather lately, but alas, 90 degrees does not allow that quite yet.  Soon enough, though - fingers crossed!

Travel Diaries: The Vatican & Santorini, Greece {Days 4-5}

Thursday, September 25, 2014


Hello!  I'm back at it with the "Travel Diaries" series from our vacation (check out parts onetwo)!

Our last day in Italy was spent in Rome and visiting the Vatican.  We got to go in to St. Peter's Basilica, and it was breathtaking.  I just couldn't believe the details and craftsmanship that went into every single inch of it.  It was definitely an amazing way to end our time in Italy before we headed to the airport and went on our merry way to Santorini, Greece.

Which, by the way: AHHH, SANTORINI!!!  If you know me personally, you'd probably know that Santorini has been my dream travel destination for the majority of my life.  The fact that Matt and I made it there for our first trip to Europe together just makes me downright giddy.  I had high expectations (considering I'd dreamt of this particular location for well over a decade), and I am not exaggerating when I say Santorini blew even my expectations WAY out of the [sparklingly, beautiful, blue Grecian] water.

We spent our first two nights in Greece at a cute hotel by Perissa Beach, which has amazing black sand.  We rented a [really fun, fast, and powerful] ATV to scoot around the island.  It is by far the best mode of transportation to get around!  (The prices were so reasonable too, so I totally recommend it to anyone who's traveling there in the future.)  We checked out all the sites and visited lots of different beaches.  One of the coolest things about Santorini is the fact that it has so many different types of sand at its beaches (white, red, and black sand beaches on one tiny island), so we made sure to visit 'em all!

Santorini was by far my favorite place we visited during our whole trip.  It was also where we spent the most time, and I am so glad we planned it like that.  If you're looking for a place to travel to my advice is make it Santorini!!!

Blue Steel: Maxi Dress + Sandals

Sunday, September 21, 2014


Hello there!  I'm taking a wee little break from the "Travel Diaries" series [be sure to check out part one and two], in order to bring ya one more summer-y outfit post before fall officially begins (hooray!).  Although, I will say, it's still in the high 90s every day here in Phoenix.  That means, unfortunately, we Phoenicians won't get to bust out the infinity scarves and boots for quite a few more weeks :(  Ah well, such is life when you don't have to deal with subzero temps in January, I suppose ;P
