Ya’ll I am so excited to be heading to Hawaii this weekend! We are heading to Disney Aulani for my birthday and our anniversary so I am in a full on Palm Print state of mind + in the archives I found this outfit I shot over the summer at this palm print wall in Venice!
The color green is growing on me – especially when I am in a tropical state of mind with Hawaii on the horizon! This dress is so chic to wear on vacation or honestly anytime! I paired it with palm print heels + a palm print clutch to really show my tropical side.
You can never go wrong with a little palm print and a clutch is a great way to incorporate it into your look without feeling intimidated by the busy print!
How fun are these heels? I honestly can’t remember when or where I got these fun heels but I am packing them for Hawaii for a nice dinner date night or night of dancing on the beach! I’ve linked to some similar styles below that are just as gorgeous and affordable.
With a new year in full swing we are all sharing our New Year’s Resolutions to kick off a successful + prosperous 2020! One of the biggest resolutions we all make every year? Get healthy, get fit, loose weight + feel good! Easy right? Well while these goals tend to fall off after a few weeks into a new year, I am determined to keep mine going well past January + I want you to too!
Whether you are vowing to be zen with some yoga, get outdoors for a hike, cook up some new healthy meals or simply hit the gym, I am rounding up some key essentials to help you get off to a healthy + fit start in the new year!
With the holiday season just around the corner that means getting ready to do some traveling. Whether it is heading on some exotic vacations to warmer climates to traveling to visit family for Thanksgiving, the key to traveling? Having the right essentials!
I am all about comfy airport style: leggings, UGGS or slides, a cozy cardigan + a chic suitcase. Once I have my style down it all comes down to my travel skincare, travel pillows, eye masks + more so I am rounding up my go-to travel essentialsfor ya’ll below so you can be ready to take the travel season on with ease.
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year, especially at Disneyland! As you may know by now, I am always up for a magical day at Disney (heading back again tomorrow) and one of the best times to experience Disney is during the fall season and especially October to experience all of the fun Halloween themed activities they have in store.
From limited edition merchandise to tasty treats to the spooky decorated streets of Main Street USA, Halloween is in full force at the most magical place on earth.
One of my favorite Disney buys for the spooky season has been this Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Backpack – it is a great size to wear to the park and I LOVE how on theme it is for the rest of the Disneyland park.
2. Spooky Decor, Updates + Shows
Disneyland goes all out for Halloween – like literally ALL OUT! There is so much to experience and see at Disneyland during the month of October, but here are a few decor, ride + show highlights to check out:
The Haunted Mansion Ride – Ya’ll I am so excited about this update for the spooky season because The Haunted Mansion Ride got a little Nightmare Before Christmas makeover for the spooky season. The entire ride has been taken over by Jack Skeleton + you will not want to miss this beautifully executed Haunted Mansion remake and luckily you have time! This redesign will be live from now till January 6th, 2020.
Main Street Pumpkin Festival – The first image in this post is from the absolutely amazing Pumpkin Festival on Main Street in Disneyland! Main Street is covered with pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, fall decor + more giving you all the fall feels for a fun day ahead. I love the intricate details of the carved gourds + even Downtown Disney has some awesome themed pumpkin statues + decor throughout the area.
Spooky Shows – Both California Adventure + Disneyland have a few spooky nighttime shows that the whole family will enjoy. One of my favorite shows is at Disneyland park – Halloween Screams. It is a 10 minute show filled with fireworks, spooky projections + clips of your favorite Disney villains and songs from the movies (because hey why not embrace you evil side around Halloween time right? :p) At California Adventure you can experience the Oogie Boogie Bash which is a ticketed event but it’s well worth the price tag with an appearance from grave diggers, the headless horseman + so much more.
Haunted Happenings at California Adventure – Throughout California Adventure park you can experience Halloween takeover in Cars Land, the Guardians of the Galaxy ride + so much more! I love the spooky touches throughout the park because let’s be real…they are IG approved hehe :p
3. Tasty Treats
Halloween Popcorn Buckets + Reusable Cups – OK this is one of my MUST buys every time I head to the park, a souvenir popcorn bucket so naturally I HAD to get the new ones they have at the park this Halloween season. They have a few options from a Purple Cauldron to a Mickey Pumpkin – you’ll want to snag one before you leave the park…I love collecting them and displaying them around my place as fond memories of a magical day. I am also obsessed with this Poison Apple Mug available at both parks that can be refilled at various spots throughout your park stay.
Delightfully Spooky Desserts – From Coco Churros to Oogie’s Worm & Dirt Funnel Cake to a Mummy Donut, both California Adventure + Disneyland park will have your taste buds watering with these yummy treats throughout the end of the month!
🍦 I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For ICE CREAM 🍦
ICYMI today is NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY so to celebrate this sweet + tasty holiday, I wanted to round up some of my ice cream related essentials for ya’ll to enjoy this summer! From amazing ice cream makers, to ice cream themed home + pool decor, to cute ice cream designed clothing + accessories, there is enough ice cream to go around + plenty of non-sugar, non-fat + healthy alternatives to celebrate the holiday without loading up on calories hehe :p (ice cream pool float counts as a way to celebrate without the sprinkles right?!
BUT first for my ice cream themed outfit – I LOVE this striped dress from Red Dress Boutique! The bright + colorful stripes scream summer + make me dream of cotton candy flavored ice cream while my pink bow hairband just makes me dream of fun summer days. To tie the whole look together I paired this outfit with pink ankle strap heels (perfect to wear year round with any ensemble)!
