If you find yourself in Salt Lake City, The Grand America is the only way to go! This hotel is by far the best the salty city has to offer!

Chase and I have always loved staying at The Grand! You can find us here after a Jazz game, sleeping in, getting Sunday Brunch, enjoying the spa and maybe a couples massage, and then hitting the pool! (They have indoor & outdoor so they’ve got you covered no matter the season!) We also love to people watch in the grand lobby. There’s often weddings, corporate events, cute ladies out for tea, and nba teams staying at the hotel which makes for an enjoyable time while waiting for your car! The lobby often has live music being played ranging from bands to harp, and there’s always an enormous bouquets of flowers who’s aroma fills the room!

The Grand life with Chloé was a little different but just as magical and luxurious as ever before! We made a stop to the in house toy store and just about died! Everything from the store, to the toys, to the window displays were to die for! The Grand America’s toy store is New York status if you know what I mean! We definitely got a few new toys for Chloé!

All three of us Allens enjoyed our vibrant, spacious room, the delicious room service menu, and a cheerful staff helping us with whatever we needed!

It truly was a staycation to remember! <3

If you’re wanting to go on a couples getaway, family trip, or treat yourself to a little me time, then The Grand is for you! Hoping to see you there ASAP! xx

First trip as a family of three officially in the books! We took Chloé James to the city, it’s one of our very favorite places! Nothing really compares to New York City!

When booking this trip, Chase and I thought carefully about what we’d be doing and where we’d be staying in the city with a 2 month old baby girl! (We didn’t want her getting sick or too hot!) We found the PERFECT hotel to stay at though, the Intercontinental Barclay! It’s right on the line of being in mid town & the upper east side, so CLEAN! Our room was spacious and big! Much bigger than any room we’ve ever stayed in while in the city! (It was really clean and smelled amazing too!) The Intercontinental Barclay had a beautiful, spacious lobby with food right off to the side, a continental breakfast with all the options, and an enormous crystal chandelier that Chloé James loved to gaze at! (It was so cute!) The staff was incredibly helpful and so so kind! They always said hello to Chloé, helped us with our bags & stroller, and even got the elevator for us! (Talk about going the extra mile!) This hotel is also dog friendly! We thought about bringing PG with us but ultimately opted out considering it was our first time flying and traveling with a baby!

I’m not even going to lie to you guys.. I miss their bathroom! It was so beautiful! It had the prettiest sink, marble countertops, the cutest subway tile, and a mirror perfectly lit to get glammed up! #TakeMeBack! If you’re wanting to visit the city, Chase & I both highly recommend this hotel! Between the incredible staff, perfect location, and spacious suite, it was a 10/10 for us Happily Ever Allens!

Seeing Chloé in the city was honestly the cutest thing ever! You don’t see many babies in New York, so everyone who saw her lit up and smiled! She brought joy to so many New Yorkers! Chloé enjoyed Central Park, soho, the Brooklyn bridge, cab rides, lots of naps, and of course her stay at the Intercontinental Barclay! She also brought some zzz’s to the city that never sleeps! Poor baby girl was so tired! She’s little enough that she can snooze anywhere right now so Chase & I lucked out!

Where should we go next?! Drop a comment below!

Thanks for looking in our first trip as a family of 3! <3 If you want our full NYC HACKS & TRAVEL GUIDE, click HERE! We have previous blog post that we still swear by! xx

“Tommys Burgers, Famous by noon tomorrow!” WHY ARE THESE WORDS SO CUTE?! 

ANYWHO! Casual comfort food calls for a casual outfit! I wouldn’t consider myself to be a burger or “meat freak,” (in fact, I’ve considered going vegetarian/vegan a hundred times) BUT sometimes a greasy burger right off the grill really hits the spot! Especially with all this warm weather Utah is getting! They just mesh! 

Tommy’s in Provo is quick, cozy, historic, and divine! If you haven’t been, I’d say it’s worth a try!

And oddly enough.. I feel like my outfit (got it from Lulus) is hitting all the same points as Tommy’s Burgers! (Quick, cozy, historic, divine) It’s easy to throw on, beyond comfortable, a classic + timeless brand, and DIVINE! 10/10 would recommend both this outfit from Lulus, and a bite from Tommy’s! 

Thank you guys for stopping by! YOU DA BEST! xx

And thank you Lulus for partnering on this post!

It’s a LBD, get to work, and hustle kind of Monday!  

There’s no better way to start your week off strong than with a healthy avacado toast, an energy boosting hot cocoa, and a beautiful little black dress! 

I found this one at Lulus and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites!  Same with this handbag! Ohh Lulus, what would we do without you?! 

Thanks for stopping by beauts! I love you all so much! xx

Happy Monday from me & mine to you & yours! Today is a special Monday!.. A very special, very busy Monday! We’re exactly TWO weeks away from Christmas and today is the LAST day to order Christmas presents online without having to “rush ship” your packages! 

Ladies and Gents, I urge you to finish up your shopping tonight! Not only will it save you some dough, but it will make your holiday season less of a stress!  

If you’re still stuck and don’t know what to get, (or if you’ve been slacking like I have) might I suggest popping over to Lulus for some Christmas shopping?! They have everything from home decor,  to tech accessories, to makeup, to clothes! Truly a one stop shop with some of the cutest things around! (Like my outfit!) I’m wearing Lulus head to toe, I absolutely adore their shop! 

Best of luck my loves & happy special Monday! xx P.s. You can shop my gift guide by clicking any picture below!

A starry skirt paired with an embellished denim jacket is all you need to feel young and hot again! (Tested & proven by me (; haa!) On the real though, todays #ootd is not only cute, but youthful and playful! Tbh, I could wear this outfit every single day. 

This tee, skirt, and jacket are 3 of my favorite pieces in my closet right now! I’ve had my eye on Amo tees for a while, and adore this one! I really dig the “Babes Unite” graphic! This skirt has me OBSESSED with the star trend! I’ve seen a lot of dresses like this but never a skirt! I found it at Vici Collection & snagged it the second I saw it! As for this jacket, I’m in love! I’ve been searching for a good oversized denim jacket that doesn’t look like I stole it from my husbands closet. So when I found this pearl embellished jacket from Lulus, I HAD to get it!
