Rust Romper

by

It has really started to warm up here it’s crazy! It’s been in the mid to upper 80s all week so I’ve been brainstorming more Summery things to wear. After living on the California coast, where summers usually reached only the mid-60s, I am not used to wearing….fewer clothes I guess? I was out in a t-shirt one day and I felt so naked! Maybe I’m just used to layers and not wearing any just feel weird to me now. As for Summer ideas, I’ve been a lot more into rompers lately. They are so comfy to hang out in on a hot day, and they look great with sandals and Summery flats. I’m pretty much in love with this romper from Forever 21, mostly because of the color and material. It’s so soft and flowy, it feels like you’re not wearing anything at all–which is what I’m looking for on hotter days. I’m a big fan of the color too–it’s just gorgeous right? Love those rusty red tones.

Onto the accessories: this bag from Pendleton is one of my favorite recent additions. Love the design and size! The neutral colors make it super versatile and could easily become one of my everyday bags. I don’t like carrying around a lot of stuff in a huge bag so this is a good size for me. The necklace is…I guess you could call vintage? Because I actually got it as a gift when I was a kid years ago. Honestly, I have no idea who even made it. It’s a traditional medicine bag/amulet and I thought it would be fun to bring it out into the light. If you are looking for a comparable one, I looked around and found an Etsy store that makes very similar designs that you can check out. They are really cool looking necklaces!

Pendleton Shirt

by

It’s been a minute but I was finally able to get around to updating the blog in the new locale in Colorado! Moving from California basically involved me staring at the butt of a budget van for 1,200 miles, but Colorado has been worth every minute of the stress of moving and general craziness. The weather here is a lot more finicky and finding time to shoot has been limited, but I’m really excited to get going on some new stuff! I recently popped into a Pendleton store in town and this button down shirt caught my attention.  Usually their stuff has a lot of bright colors (which I do love!) but I really like their current offering of pretty pastels for Spring. The material is really soft and flowy too so I can tell this shirt is going to come in handy when Summer rolls around.

Overall Colorado has been fantastic but, something that hasn’t been so great is how my skin has handled the high desert climate. Hoooly smokes, talk about dry, tight and dehydrated skin. My face felt like I had a tight mask over it all the time and was flaking like crazy! I was desperate so I started to experiment with products. My experiments wound up giving me a horrible allergic reaction to a night cream which was basically a disaster on top of a dumpster fire. The good news is I was finally able to perfect a routine that works great for me (combination skin with dehydration issues). So if you have a similar skin type and live in a high elevation, low humidity and/or desertish environment, I recommend trying out the below products. And as a PSA, all skin types need love in a climate like this , especially during the winter months!

This new routine has vastly improved my skin situation; I am actually kind of astonished at the improvement. As a nightly routine I start with the makeup remover/cleanser, followed by Paula’s Choice toner, then the Toleriane Fluide and finish with either the La Roche-Posay Baume moisturizer or Jojoba Oil. Then every week or so I will add in Sephora’s Night Mask to the routine. During the day I wear EltaMd’s tinted physical sunscreen that works great as a sunscreen and as a makeup base!
