There's something about being in nature that I love so much- the sounds, the smells and the breathtaking light. Sometimes it's easy for me to forget how refreshed I feel after spending a little time with mother nature. One of my favorite things about Oregon has to be the amazing array of wild flowers that cover the hills at this time of year. Not only are they beautiful; the fresh, fragrant aroma is way better than any candle you can buy at the store. I feel like I take a little vacation to the countryside every time I go on an exploration.
Its finally summer, which means I get the chance to bust out my white dresses without feeling out of place 😋. This one from Urban Outfitters stole my heart with the simplicity and elegance of the design. For me, its not all the time that I put on a dress and genuinely feel confident and beautiful- but this one does it for me. Even though I'm a die-hard for intricate pieces, I find that sometimes the simpler the piece is, the more you really get a chance to stand out.
I hope your summer is off to a good start 😊

I feel safe in saying that a pair of denim jeans are pretty much a staple in every single wardrobe. I'm someone who will wear jeans anytime to pretty much any event... or at least want to 😉 That's why I got so excited when I saw this pair with beautiful embroidered roses on them. They are the denim that I know and love, but with a little something extra. Not only are they high waisted, they are the perfect crop length for me and have a distressed ankle for added edge. I love how the flowers add a new layer of originality to the jeans and help them feel a little more relevant. Also, doesn't embroidery make anything a little more desirable?
To me, its a nice change to have the jeans steal the show, leaving me the option to pretty much wear whatever shirt I please. I have even paired these with a knotted simple t-shirt in the past and I loved the look. Today I went for a more elevated look with a beautifully effortless white crossover shirt and simple black heels. While probably everyone you know owns several pairs of jeans, isn't it nice to play around and have fun with something that's normally so simple? We embroider blouses, dresses, sweaters; now we can sit back and enjoy the ride while denim has its moment. There are no rights and wrongs to style- fashion trends are consistently changing and evolving, so why not give it a try? xo, Hailey

Hello you lovely people!
I have unfortunately been away from blogging for a little while- but am more excited than ever to be back. These past few months have been slightly hectic in my life having just moved from Idaho to Portland, Oregon… talk about a scenery change! Even though I am having a great time here, I definitely have had some adjusting to do.
Since I was cursed at birth with a profound wanderlust, I have always been so excited to move out of my small town and to a city. It has taught me a lot of things so far, but one of the most prominent is that there is something to appreciate everywhere you go. I used to take certain things for granted living in Boise, one being that I knew everywhere I was going... a very Hallmark “Americana” vibe I guess you can say. Here sometimes I wish I could have that sense of familiarity back- however then I would lose the sense of adventure that I have on a daily basis.
I’ve learned so many things on my new venture, and have realized that even though it can be a little, or a lot scary at times, it is always better to take the plunge.
Of the day to day inspirations that are helping to make my world bolder and brighter, fashion comes in at the top of the list. I am so constantly inspired by the brave and innovative styles that I see in the city. I have started playing around more with my wardrobe and am loving every bit of it. Crazy what an eye opener It can be to change up your standard perspective for something a little more out there.
Let me know in the comments what trends you guys have been loving, and what your tips are for making your way through a new and atypical environment!
Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year filled with lots of love and adventure! :)
xx Hailey
