Crunch Gym: Free Membership Giveaway!

It's been a crazy couple of months. Between the long hours in the office, weekend trips and overall adult responsibilities (they're real, you guys!), I've found myself spending less of my free time in front of the screen and more of it out and about, doing the things I love. One thing I've found myself trying to do more of is work on my fitness routine. Yes, summer trips require two piece sets and swimsuits galore, but more than anything working out has helped me take a breather from a busy day, giving my mind some "me" time to wind down. And my favorite form of "me" time? Yoga. Don't get me wrong, I love trying other workouts - from spin to dance to rock climbing and boxing - but the one thing that I always go back to is yoga.

Stacker Style: Sip Champagne When We Thirsty

It's been a while since I've shot with my pal, Melissa, but every time we get together I get so inspired by her work. A few Saturdays back, we got together to indulge in some cream puffs (more to come on that), catch up and sneak in a quick little shoot. I've got to admit, I'm a bit rusty (been on that blog break, you know?). Luckily for me, Melissa basically does all the work, so I still come out looking much better than I could have. Since cleaning out my closet (I got rid of six bags of stuff you guys), the favorites continue to make their way into my daily rotation. Hence - you're seeing some familiar pieces, just in different ways. But hey, that's real life for ya, yeah?

Stacker Style: Green Thing

I'm a creature of habit and comfort, which is why I've been picking out my favorite easy ensembles and wearing them nonstop. Quite possibly the most comfortable pair of jeans I own hails from LA's own Denimocracy. No doubt you've seen them saunter across my Instagram these last few weeks (okay, months), but can't help but wear 'em out (pun intended). A month or so ago I went through my closet and noticed that all my good flats were gone. Not one to sit around and wait, I took matters into my own hands and ordered up a handful of new flats, including these grey beauties by Sole Society. Do they fit the comfort criteria? You betcha. And what's a comfy 'fit without a relaxed linen shirt? Thankfully, J.Jill continues to impress. I grabbed this casual blue and white crisp linen top from their summer collection because my closet deserved to have it.

Beauty Bites: Beauty Packing List with Ulta

When it comes to packing for trips, I've always tried to get everything I need into one carry-on and tote bag. Past years have taught me that no one wants to be that person with the huge suitcases trying to navigate from point A to point B. So, along with cutting down on my clothes, I've also tried to be very smart about my makeup stash. Luckily for me, skincare and beauty products are so tiny, I can always get away with packing jusssst a little more than I should. But, for those quick weekend trips and shorter summer getaways, there's a few things you will always find in my bags.

Stacker Style: Leaf it To Me

Ah, Palm Springs. It's a place that holds a special place in my heart. It's hot (like really, really hot), quiet (in the most relaxing way) and feels like it's worlds away, even though it's just a short hop, skip and jump from SF. I flew down to LA and drove to Palm Springs for the Fourth with some gal pals and it was just what I needed. Not only did I get a wonderful golden tan, but I also got to rock all my warm weather wear. I'm a girl who loves her heat. Although I spent a good 80% of my day in a bathing suit, I did manage to pack some summer wear for the times when wearing my suit wasn't acceptable in public spaces. On this particular day, I swapped one two piece for another. Saw this adorable set on Lulus.com and knew it had to come with me to Palm Springs. I picked up the fanny pack just a day before my trip and seriously hit the jackpot - it was $6, you guys. Can't wait to wear this guy at my next music festival (OSL, I'm coming for ya!). Anyhoo, I've got more posts coming your way. But, for now, let's start here.
