Keep Austin Weird

July 17, 20144 Comments

It’s time for a little travel, wouldn’t ya say? Especially it being summer and all, we all need a little get away to keep our lives full of adventure and even spontaneity 😉 I was just sitting up stairs in my parents house in Fort Worth thinking to myself…’AUSTIN’. It had been on my mind for a while and I haven’t visited in some odd years so I was itching to get back to the funky city. I picked up my phone, text my best friend at work and told her “This weekend we are going to Austin”. She was down so we made plans to stay in a cute cottage we found on airbnb.com (SO cute!) All weekend we ate BBQ, ventured 6th street, visited Hamilton Pool, and made some fun new friends.

Places to check out: Hamilton Pool
This spot was awesome with a short easy hike down. Get there early to avoid a long wait to get in (it packs up fast) bring water and some floaties to relax in the water with!

Places to check out: Our Airbnb Cottage
This amazing one bedroom home had everything you could want. My favorite part was the out door shower AND the outdoor bathtub!

Places to check out: Hula Hut
Because it wouldn’t be a proper trip to Austin without going 😉

There are so many great things I could share about Austin, most of which you need to discover on your own…I hope you all get to make it there one day if you haven’t already!

Roses in the Wild

July 1, 20142 Comments

I enjoy summer so much, especially going on walks with my mother around the neighborhood. We enjoy the beauty in the backyard and point out the importance of every flower. If we could walk around all day just exploring then I’m sure we would.

In Huntington Beach right downtown there is a cute little boutique called Irene’s Story that I stumbled upon and really loved. Their clothes are trendy with a boho feel while being reasonably priced compared to the other boutiques around them. This dress is perfect for a summer night out, to church, tea with your friends, or walking around with your mom 🙂 Be sure to stay tuned for more outfit posts featuring Irene’s Story!

Saltwater Room

I think it’s obvious I love bikinis and I dig the fact that I pretty much get to live in one out here in SoCal. What’s a special gem is when I find an amazing one piece suit. They are great for surfing if you’re going to ditch the wetsuit (especially because I’m always concerned that my bikini top will fly off. 😛 ) Of course Hurley never fails when it comes to swim wear so I was extremely happy when they sent over this white and black number. It’s also pretty rad that the inside lining is leopard print so when it gets wet you can see the cool pattern. IMG_5093 copy xokris

Feelin’ Boho Blu

June 11, 2014Leave a comment

How is everyone enjoying June so far? I love summer wardrobe and fashion so much because of how simple it is. I basically live in dresses and rompers and really love this specific one from BohoBlu. I’m usually too tall for rompers leaving me sad that I can’t sport most of them so I was thrilled when BohoBlu sent me one that was long enough to make the perfect fit!

In Bloom

If you haven’t noticed let me fill you in on a secret…I am obsessed with Maxi dresses! Ah…So glad I got that off my chest. When I saw this one from In Bloom Boutique I was immediately drawn in from the vibrant colors and unique fit. They have tons of adorable dresses and some really awesome palazzo pants that are really in style right now! It doesn’t hurt that their prices are pretty reasonable also 😉

Let’s Be Frank…

Ladies and gents, I found something so special I can’t wait to share with you. I am all about finding new at home ways to get healthier glowing skin and when I discovered Frank’s coffee scrub I must admit that it sparked my curiosity. The company based out of Australia sent over their original scrub and I couldn’t wait to hop in the shower to try it out. Let me just say…WOW. My skin felt baby soft just after one use. It targets scars, stretch marks, dry skin, and cellulite and needs to be left on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing for best results.

Tie Dye Love

May 20, 2014Leave a comment

Hello everyone, if you are reading this that means I have survived the crazy heat wave that came through SoCal this past week. I was either at the beach or by the pool everyday trying to keep cool (tragic, right?). It cooled down a little yesterday and I decided to wear my new tie dye maxi dress from Piace Boutique. I have always had a place in my heart for tie dye so it skipped a beat when I saw this little number. xokris
