Outfit: Sunshine, Daisies, Butter, Mellow...

Summer is truly beginning to take hold. Those lovely rainstorms we have been having in the valley have disappeared and are being replaced with clear blue, sunny skies. What's scary is I'm not too sure what this summer holds for me. I don't have a good or bad feeling about it, instead it's something that is just happening. Then again I've been preoccupied with 'life' matters at the moment so I haven't had the chance to sit and ruminate about the possibilities it hold.

Who knows though...this summer could be spectacular. All I plan to do at the current moment is to continue to document my adventures and see what I stumble upon.

Blog Inspiration: The Dainty Squid

From the day I stumbled upon The Dainty Squid I was in love. Kaylah has such effortless style and transitions well between clean put together classic ensembles and stunning laid back styles. In addition to her marvelous sense of fashion the other posts that Kaylah fills her blog with are fantastic.

In particular her photography series are truly something. My absolute favorite is her beach series where she combs the sand for trinkets and other materials of one color then photographs her finds. Granted in words this doesn't sound too interesting, but I promise that it is something worth checking out.

Also, I believe it would be a crime to forget to mention her positively stunning hair. Kaylah continuously takes care of and dyes her hair by herself. She has several explanations on exactly how she treats her hair and I highly recommend looking into those articles if you're considering dying your hair a funky color. I know if everything goes according to plan this summer I am definitely going to be rereading them for some advice.

Anywho, I would highly recommend that when you find the time that you pop on over to http://www.thedaintysquid.com!

Outfit: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.

Utah has been hit with sudden onslaught of thunderstorms and it is absolutely lovely. There's a chill in the air (which I could do without), cloudy skies, and the smell of petrichor lingering about.

I adore rainy days, especially on my days off. It gives me an excuse to stay in, read, catch on some blog reading, and impulsively buy plane tickets for trips that I probably cannot afford. They really are wonderful. Plus thunder accompanied by the sound of light rain is incredibly relaxing. 

Some of my favorite memories center around a sudden rain. It's funny how it can turn a regular outing into an unexpected adventure of sorts. Then there's when you kind of live at Disney World it is rather fun to watch tourists run about in a panic during sudden downpours, but this is a story for another day.

Style Love: Lauren Conrad Disney Collection

Recently I stumbled upon Lauren Conrad's current Disney centered collection at Kohl's starring Minnie Mouse and it is adorable.

They have a cute retro flair and have the perfect subtle hints of Minnie Mouse to them without it completely taking over each item. I definitely recommend checking them out since they're on sale now! I know that I cannot wait for the opportunity to style what both my sister and I bought.

Blog Inspiration: A Beautiful Mess

I first discovered fashion blogging back when I was in High School in about 2010. Growing up I was quite withdrawn and self conscious, but towards the end of my time in mandatory public education I wanted to break out of my shell. I started to explore different style sources and inspiration to see how I could start to discover my own sense of style which was when I stumbled up Elsie Larson's blog A Beautiful Mess, which is now expanded and run by bother her and her lovely sister Emma Chapman.

They have now expanded it into a blog filled with style posts, DIY's, and other fun tips. It's amazing to see all they have accomplished since I began reading their blog and I cannot wait to watch them continue to prosper. 

One fun thing is that I was able to meet them both (but only get a photograph with Elsie) back in the summer of 2011 during the summer of my junior year. They both are so incredibly lovely.

(Dear me. Look at my little sixteen year old self and my long blunt banged hair!)

Life Update

I do apologize for disappearing for a while. Immediately after I started my blog I was swamped with finals. However, now that I am finished and summer is about to be in full swing I am ready to jump head first into my blog! Be prepared for a plethora of updates.
