Hello, Strawberry

Skirt: Chelsea & Violet; Shirt: JCrew; Earrings: JCrew Factory; DIY Floral headband for Tayla

Escaped the desert and the heat over the weekend to find a different kind of beauty up north in Strawberry, Arizona.  It's up in the pines, and around the mountains.  A sleepy type town, with nothing to do except explore outside, wear flowers in our hair, and listen to the wind.  It is officially summertime here.

I have been to several different parts of the world, but I have to say (in my humble opinion) Arizona rivals some of the best.  From the depths of the Grand Canyon, to the waterfalls of Havasupai, and saguaros of the Sonoran Desert - it is hard not to be in awe of Her beauty.  I've thought of moving to other places, and maybe, have even itched to.  But, I am more than happy to spend out my days under the fierce desert sun.  If, by chance, my journey happens to whisk me away to some foreign landscape, Arizona will still be home.  And when my journey ends, I'd like to think you could find me in Her watercolor sunset.  I'll be the color pink.

Ted Baker's 25th Anniversary Around The World Event

Last week I helped Ted Baker's celebrate their 25th Anniversary at Scottsdale Fashion Square.  There were drinks, a DJ, and beautiful clothes included!  I had so much fun shopping and hanging out around with the fabulous Ted Baker crew.  His spring collection is filled with so many feminine details, including colors, florals, fabrics, and sweet details such as bows and pearls.  I fell in love with this skirt as soon as I slipped it on.  If you haven't yet, make sure to enter for a chance to win a trip of a lifetime, where Ted Baker's will whisk you off to a far-flung destination in Scotland, with a five night stay in a luxurious castle.  Your chance to win here!     

Sweet Made Sweeter With a Wendy's Frosty Waffle Cone

One of my favorite past times is to take my dogs for walks in the park. With beautiful weather surrounding us constantly, it is the perfect way to enjoy being outside.  We ventured to a park on Saturday, and to make this sweet moment even sweeter, I brought along not one, but TWO! Wendy's Frosty Waffle Cones.  Yes, a chocolate for myself (obvious choice), and a vanilla for my doggies.  While I savored each refreshingly cool bite, Bentley and Tayla's little pink tongues were busy going a mile a minute as they inhaled every single lick.  Ok, maybe mine was doing that too!  A little boy carrying a pink water balloon ran up to us, laughed, and then ran away.  There was just a lot of happiness going on in that park.  I don't normally indulge my dogs with sweet treats, but sometimes, life should be enjoyed thoroughly for our four legged friends.  And us too.  As for a Wendy's frosty waffle cone? Well, that's just a staple for life's enjoyment.
