Hello everyone! I hope you’re all having a great day and staying healthy + safe! <3

I’m so excited to share these Easter Basket ideas for littles with you all! I hope this post puts a smile on your face and gets you and your littles looking forward to something while we’re all stuck in our homes! <3

The magic is back in holidays with a little one at home! Chase and I have had so much fun preparing for each and every one knowing it’s Chloés first! Easter was one of my favorite holidays growing up and still is to this day! We will be celebrating Easter in the Allen household quarantined or not, and I hope you all will too!

For Chloés Easter basket we decided to go with an actual storage basket! She can’t walk/egg hunt on her own, and we are lacking toy + blanket storage so getting a storage basket was a no brainer + saved us some dough! (I’ve linked some baskets we love above from target!) We’ll be filling her basket up with these beautiful Ballerina dolls, a rattle, a crown, baby luggage, and pom blanket from Alimrose! Alimrose is one of the cutest & classiest shops for littles I’ve found since having Chloé! They have a darling selection of dolls + bunnies right now too! I highly recommend checking them out if a “Kate Middleton” Easter is what you’re going for! Your Prince/Princess will love their shop too!

The Bunny will also be leaving books, an Easter outfit, stuffies, little toys, eggs, and some baby friendly treats! These two books above are some of our favorites! The “Mommy Mommy” book is Chloés absolute favorite and I’m not mad about it! (; She squeals when she sees it! YOU NEED IT! <3 Some of the toys, stuffies, and outfit picks we’ve made for the basket I’ve linked below! Simply click on a picture to shop an item! One of our favorite items for an Easter basket that isn’t photographed is a bubble machine/bubble gun! We got ours for $4 and it’s a big hit in our house! (The biggest!) Another big hit in our house right now are these eggs! We got a pack of 47 for $3 and Chloé loves playing with them! 10/10 would recommend letting your littles play with the eggs early! Affordable entertainer right here! <3

Growing up the Easter bunny used to hide our Easter baskets and we’d have to search from them around the house with the help of a few clues! I loved this growing up and can’t wait to do this for Chloé! What are Easter traditions OR Easter basket must haves for you?! Leave a comment below, I would love to know! And thank you for stopping by! Love you all! xx Stay safe out there during this crazy time!

Hello loves!

I haven’t shared our home at all with you guys and really need to! To be honest it’s been hard to share because I feel like it’s never done and there’s always something I want to add/change! (I’m sure you’ve felt it too!) But, without further ado, I present to you, our kitchen!

Chase and I both have a love affair with black, so we selected the cabinet color “Soot” from Benjamin Moore before we were expecting Chloé! We love our black cabinets and love the mood it sets in our home! Our interior designer Lexi Arnold was 100% here for it as well! While building + buying for our home, I truly ran everything through Lexi and she created digital mock ups so I could visually see what it would look like! (She’s the real deal btw! We love her!) We also went with marble countertops and love the look!

To bring this space to life, we implemented plants (faux plants,) beautiful serve ware, cook books, candles, mixed elements of wood and metal, candles, linen, and small pops of color! Almost every item of our kitchen decor is from Target and Alice Lane! (You can shop everything below btw! Simply click on a picture to shop!) We love these items and hope you will too! The faux plants from Alice Lane look very alive might I add. They’re pricey but so worth it. Especially if you have the black thumb! (;

Our rug, wooden shelves, serving boards, books, and bowls are all under $60 though! A steal for these beautiful items if you ask me! We have a small tech corner with a charging pad for our phones and a beats pill that I highly recommend! Loudest portable speaker on the market and a great size! The music comes through clear as day!

There are a few things we’d change about the space. For instance, I’m crazy into gold cone pendants now instead of the milk bulbs we have! (You can shop the ones I’m crushing on below!) And we haven’t loved our dining table, not have we purchased dining chairs! I’m still on the look out for ones we love that won’t break the bank! Other than those few things…. our kitchen is perfect. <3 Below are some of our inspiration pictures used for our kitchen! We used Pinterest to help build our home and would recommend having a home Pinterest board to keep all of your pictures and ideas in one place! You can follow me on Pinterest here to see all the bits of inspiration that I pin!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out our kitchen! <3 If you guys have any questions about anything please drop a comment below! Love you all! xx

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

C H L O É I N T H E C I T Y

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

Once I became a mom to Chloé, catching some me time became scarce! (I don’t even have time to go to the bathroom somedays!) I’ve often felt gross and just dirty from changing diapers all day, bring spit up on, and not having the time to hop into the shower! 

Lucky for me though, I just found a new dry shampoo + dry conditioner and it’s unreal! It’s the new Pantene Waterless Collection that includes the Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray and theMist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist! It helps me look, smell, feel clean in just a matter of seconds! (And I can go 7-8 days without washing my hair which is a HUGE time saver!) 

When my hair is greasy and needs a wash, I grab my Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo, lift up my hair -section by section - and spray the dry shampoo directly into my roots (or wherever my hair is in need of refreshment most)! This Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray is one of the only dry shampoos I’ve tried that doesn’t leave the white residue in your hair, which is AMAZING! And then, I will massage it into my scalp for about 8 seconds! (Just to disperse the productfully at my roots!) The Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray has Pro-Vitamin B5 and wild mint that gives your hair a fresh start by absorbing dirt and oil. 

After I’ve applied the Pantene Never Tell Dry Shampoo Spray, I grab my Pantene Mist Behaving Dry Conditioner Mist and spray from the mid-shaft to the ends of my hair, and then brush it through! It is infused with Omega-9 lipids that fully absorb to your hair and helps maintain any frizz I have and makes my hair smell amazing! And it make it silky soft! This is the first dry conditioner I’ve ever tried and I’m so in love with it! 

I repeat these steps daily until I have time to wash my hair! I used to only go 3 days between washes, and now I can go 7-8 days between washes when I use this Pantene duo! It takes me about 2 hours to wash, dry, and style my hair, and it only takes me 1 minute to spray on this dry shampoo & conditioner!

Let’s be real here, I think all of us find ourselves running late, feeling overwhelmed, or just not having enough time for everything! The new Pantene Waterless Collection is one way we can simplify our lives & help put some hours back on our clock! If it helped me, I know it can help you!

If you’re looking to simplify your life, or just need some extra time in your day, you need to try the new Pantene Waterless Collection!!!! Pick yours up now at Kroger – I promise you won’t regret it!

Hey MTV welcome to our CRIB! (Baby Crib that is!) <3 Guys.. My heart is BURSTING right now! I’ve been so excited to share this post with you! Putting baby girls nursery together has been pure magic. Her room has turned into the heart of our home and I wouldn’t want it any other way! <3

Chase and I had the best time together setting up baby girls nursery! Week by week, with every piece that went up, our little one felt closer to being here. It was crazy getting everything built and put into place knowing that soon baby girl would be dwelling here. It was kind of a surreal process! We will always cherish these memories of us working on her nursery together and can barely believe that baby girl is almost here! (Any day now.. just waiting on YOU baby girl!) 

With some help from our amazing interior designer, Lexi Laycock, we decided to go with a light and airy feel in the nursery, accompanied by some fun color pops, and a little bit of class! I feel like the nursery has a few different vibes going on in it which is perfect for baby girl! With a diverse nursery like this, we’ll have the option to tweek the room to fit her personality and needs more once we get to know her! (And I love that! If we do end up changing her room, we’ll update pictures on this post!) 

When Chase and I moved into our house this passed November, we definitely invested in a handful of pieces! But with baby girls nursery, we SCORED and were able to find some amazing deals/sales on all of these pieces making the entire room incredibly affordable! For instance, this furniture set is sold at multiple stores, and you can always find them on a deal! And the trendy gold mirror and wooden shelves were each under $35.00 from target! The woven light we also  scored on sale, same with the beautiful work of wall art! 

Some little touches we added and love about her nursery are the drawer organizers, the live plant + pot, and the modern rocker! It made her room feel custom, fresh, and clean! <3 Everything you could hope for in a room!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing this journey with us loves! You guys are the best and WE LOVE YOU!

Hello Momas & Momas to be! Today I’m talking about a company I love that I’ve recently become familiar with since being pregnant! Aeroflow Breastpumps! Aeroflow specializes in helping moms get their breast pump AND pregnancy and postpartum support garments (like belly bands, compression socks, and postpartum recovery garments) through insurance which is AMAZING!

I’m so grateful I found Aeroflow this pregnancy! With a new little one comes many new life necessities, and it’s not the cheapest folks! So having all the help I can get + multiple items I’ll need aside from the breast pump has been a life savor!

Getting your necessities is a piece of cake! Aeroflow takes care of the entire process, including filing the insurance claim and getting necessary documents from your doctor. All you have to do is fill out the quick and easy Qualify Through Insurance form to get started!

Aeroflow Breastpumps (aside from the incredible pump) has a wide selection of supplies and necessities for nursing Momas + Momas on the mend from birth! They have milk storage bags, nursing bras, cleaning supplies, hands free pumping bras, corsets & other body compressions, carry all bags, different pump options, and more! You can get all of these incredibly helpful (and necessary) items when you place the order for you pump!

And get this! If you don’t have insurance but do have HSA or FSA you can use them to purchase your Aeroflow Breastpump + supplies!

I looked at every pump on the market, checked them out at every store, read hundreds of reviews, and I really loved this one! It’s called the Luna! The pumping options and features are great, the design is sleek, it’s a perfect size size, had great reviews, and you can get it through your insurance! <3 

Thanks for stopping by Momas! xx If you have any questions about Aeroflow Breastpumps drop a comment below or shoot me an email by filling out my contact page! xx

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pantene.  The opinions and text are all mine.

Hey loves! Today I'm excited to share a new product with you I've been using from Pantene! It just launched in the U.S. in January and I wish I would have known about it sooner! (It's been hiding out in Brazil!) It’s called the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots!

When my hair needs a pick me up, (and it always does as of late) I use Pantene's Sheer Volume Shampoo, and then apply the single-dose tube of the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots (instead of conditioner) from root to tips for 30 seconds, then rinse for 30 seconds, and BAM! My hair is renewed, restored, and BEAUTIFUL! It’s no wonder this product is the #1 selling new treatment in the hair care category!

Between styling my hair for shoots, pregnancy, traveling, bleaching my hair, and living in Utah's dry climate, my hair was begging for the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots! Working this product into my hair routine was easy as pie and is honestly bringing my hair back to life! Every time I use it, I look like I just walked fresh out of the salon!

All of Pantene's products have the nutrients our hair needs to be healthy and beautiful, including their Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots! In my opinion, this is their best repair product yet! It contains Pro-Vitamin B5, strengthening lipids, and natural glycerin that targets damaged hair areas giving your hair its shine, strength, and body back! It gives you a deep conditioning but rinses quickly to avoid weighing down your hair and noticeably repairs extreme hair damage! It can even turn dry, brittle hair into soft and shiny hair!

So babes, if you're looking to makeover your hair in a major way, no matter what your hair type is or what it's been through, I challenge you to try out this product! SERIOUSLY! I absolutely love it and firmly believe it can take your hair next level, just like it took mine! The Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots are available now at Target.com – see here! xx

Hello loves! Man, it feels like it’s been FOREVER since I’ve blogged! I’m so sorry guys! Pregnancy has really been kicking my butt. ): I’m glad to be back today though! I’ve missed being able to write to you guys!

Today’s post is super fun and made it just in time for VALENTINES DAY!  <3 I love love, and love Valentine’s Day! (Or any excuse to celebrate those I love!) And of course, I must get an outfit for the occasion! (;

So today, I’m sharing 4 different outfits that accommodate EVERYONE and their plans this Valentine’s Day! Wether you’re going out, staying in, or literally anything else, these 4 looks have you covered! I hope you enjoy babes!!!!

V-Day Outfit 1: Casual & Loving It

You guys know I’m all about the casual looks! This Rose Shirt paired with this Denim Skirt is the perfect casual combo! And the pop of pink is spot on for V-Day! This shirt has a silky soft touch and a beautiful shine to it, and I love the style of this skirt!

I’d wear this look out on a group date, a galentines night out, or a fresh relationships first valentines day!

V-Day Outfit 2: Cozy Night In

This Mauve Sweater + your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans is the look you want for a cozy night in! Cook up some dinner, turn on Netflix, cuddle up, and chill! 

This sweater is one of the softest sweaters I own! The material is almost velvety! I absolutely love it!  (truly perfect to cuddle up in!) 

V-Day Outfit 3: The Active Lovers  

This Wind Breaker right here is the perfect thing to wear for all my fitspo/active babes! You can wear this to the gym, on a run, down the slopes, rock climbing, or whatever activity you may be doing this Valentine’s Day that gets you moving! 

And ladies, if your man needs help gifting you this V-Day, let me recommend hinting this windbreaker! It’s one of my favorite pieces right now! Super cute, affordable, and also comes in a beautiful Sage color!  

V-Day Outfit 4: Night Out  

So you’re going out to celebrate! Instead of decking yourself out in pink and red glitter and hearts, might I suggest this Dress?! It’s classic, stunning, comfortable, and all around BEAUTIFUL! This dress easily dresses up or down depending on how you style it & what you pair it with! I went with a more edgy/casual look by rolling up the sleeves, not tying the waist, and wearing sharp black booties! I could easily dress it up by keeping the sleeves at full length, tying the bow, and wearing a pair of nude heels! (Some red lipstick wouldn’t hurt either!) (; 

This dress is one of my favorites in my closet right now, and it’s safe to say it’s one of Chases favorites as well! (Cough cough, the fellas dig it!)  

All 4 of these looks are from a new shop called Becks and Clive! I honestly LOVE all of their pieces! I own just about everything on their site!!!! (Don’t judge me!) <3 You can use code BRIT20 at checkout to receive 20% off your entire purchase at Becks and Clive! (That code makes every piece under $70 and CHEAPER!) Oh, and they have free shipping too! It doesn’t get much better than that! 

Thank you guys for stopping in today! I love you all and I hope you enjoyed this post! HAPPY (almost) VALENTINES DAY BABES!!!!

Chases brother Travis and his fiancé Charles took charge and handled every detail from food to decor, to coming with me to to the ultrasound and planning the reveal for everyone, including us! (THANK YOU TRAV & CHARLES!!!! We love you!)

I’ve been feeling kinda sick still, (pregnancy is tough guys) so I’m going to keep the post short n sweet and add some videos! First is the ultrasound where you can see baby girl perfectly, and the other is our gender reveal! ENJOY LOVES! xx  

Also, a huge shout out to my friend Natalie Mckell! She recently had a baby boy and has been my go to while being pregnant! She helped me find a doctor, helped me find prenatals to take, is always answering my pregnancy questions, and made some beautiful floral arrangements for the gender reveal and overall makes me feel like a million bucks! I love this girl! THANK YOU NAT for being such a good friend! ILYSM! 

Also, I couldn’t have a shin dig w/ out these puppies! Cupcakes from the sweet tooth fairy! They’re my absolute favorite! <3 (I ate three that night!) Safe to say baby girl is a sugar-holic just like her moma!

Also, for outfit details, Pink Dress + Turtle Neck is from Soel Boutique! (In store!) Sweater dress is from Free People! And all baby girls clothes are from The Baby Cubby! We went shopping for her the day after we found out she was a girl! The Baby Cubby is the cutest baby store, and we honestly couldn’t wait to start getting some cute baby clothes!!!!

With fall and Thanksgiving among us + Chase & I settling into our new home, it was time to bring Autumn indoors with Thymes Fragrances! Their Simmered Cider line is warm & welcoming! (Not to mention, beautiful!) Just what we needed to spice up our new home! Our new puppy PG approved too! 

This delicious aroma fills our home with a blend of freshly pressed apples, mulled with crushed clove and cardamom, and hints of bourbon while the stunning rose gold vessels play up the Autumn scene!

Our home has hints of rose gold, copper, and gold through out it, so these candles + this diffuser have been the perfect decoration to add to our growing collection of home decor! I’ve been bundling them in the center of our kitchen table on a cute cutting board, as well as placing them in the corner of our family room for a cozy looking vibe! And truth be told, I wish these photos were scratch and sniff so you could smell this Simmered Cider scent! It’s more heavenly than imaginable! 

If you’re on the hunt for an Autumn aroma or looking to spice up your home, I highly recommend Thymes Fragrances Simmered Cider line! <3 Simply click on a pic to shop the line! xx

Guys, WE MADE DIS! <3 Baby Allen coming early June! We could not be more excited!!!! 

We had our first doctors appointment yesterday and everything went great! The doctor told us we’re 9 weeks along and all looks well! We were able to see the heartbeat which was absolutely incredible! Chase even started tearing up a bit, he’s already the best dad!

Truth be told, Chase has been ready to be a dad since the day we met! It was me that needed more time! I’ve always been terrified of giving birth and all the pain/complications that may come along with it, but this past year they’ve all faded away and I’ve felt strong and SO READY to start this journey! 

I’ve been pretty sick the last 2 months, but I can’t complain! I know so many women who have it 100 times worse than I do! So I’m extremely grateful and counting my blessings! (Also, shout out to all you working moms! I work from home and have been struggling SO BAD! I have a whole new appreciation for working women + moms. You ladies are the real MVPs!) 

My diet has changed so much in the last two months! I used to love eating healthy foods like spinach, avocado, broccoli, berries, and fish! Now I’m living off of sugared cereal and gluten free pizza! That’s about all that sounds good/doesn’t make me gag! I’m hoping in a couple weeks once we’re out of the first trimester, things start getting back to normal! 

Aside from my diet completely changing, some of the biggest challenges/changes I’ve experienced are constantly being tired/not sleeping well at night, and being “backed up.” It takes me days on end before I’m able to go to the bathroom! It’s awful. Nothing makes me feel more sick! TMI I know, but I wanted to share this in case anyone has some tips or tricks for me! If you do, PLZ SEND EM MY WAY!!!! <3 

We’ve had a lot of questions asking if this was planned and the answer is, kind of! We wanted to start trying this October, so we were truly over the moon when we found out! It was such a happy day! Neither of us really believed our eyes! We took 3 preganacy tests before we believed we’re actually pregnant! I always thought I’d tell Chase in a really cute and creative way that we’re pregnant, but it just didn’t turn out that way! Same with our family! We wanted to tell them all in a cute way, but it just didn’t happen! (SORRY FAM!) 

We’ve also been asked if we think it’s a boy or a girl! If we could choose, we’d love a boy first, but I have a hunch it’s a girl! And honestly, either way, we will be so so happy! Just hoping the baby is healthy, nothing else matters! We have names picked out for both genders, but we’ve been referring to the baby as “squish” and “chickie nug.” <3

Taking these pictures at the beach and visiting the doctor yesterday made everything feel so REAL. There’s been so much love felt, especially in these moments!  

So little “squish,” here’s to YOU! We are so excited to be your mommy and daddy! You are already SO LOVED and we can’t wait to meet you!

Couch // Light (similar) // Coffee Table (similar // Rug (similar) // Coffe Table Book

Ever since we started building our home,  we’ve been on the hunt for the best furniture we can possibly find! (We’re officially all things house obsessed!)  

We scored when we found this beautiful modern couch from Burrow! We ordered this couch recently and it was shipped to our house in no time! Our Burrow was easy to set up, it’s comfortable, durable, and dang affordable! (They also offer financing on it through affirm!)

The thing we love very most about Burrows couches is you can easily switch the chaise to either end of the couch, and add or takeaway pieces! We haven’t found many couches like this on the market! You always have to select which side the chaise is on, but not with Burrow! This is perfect for us while we’re in the transitional stage of building and adding to our home collection!

We went with their Chaise King Sofa model and highly recommend it! In fact, we’re thibking about adding an arm chair and ottoman to complete the collection! 

Burrows come in a handful of sizes and shades, and there’s a few different options to tweek them to your ideal perfection! (Like the color of the legs, height on arm rests, etc!) We are excited to play around with this couch in our new home and see which way will look and fit best! 

Thanks for tuning in guys! Now, excuse us while we get our Netflix and chill on! xx

P.s. You can shop items we love for home down below! (Some of these we have already purchased! Any guesses on which ones?!) Simply click on a picture to shop an item!

HEY FAM! xx LONG TIME NO SEE EH?! I’m so glad to be back blogging again <3 it’s been a hot minute! I’ve been sick for nearly a month with heaven knows what.. some strange cold that I can’t kick but it’s starting to clear up finally! Shout out to my immune system for finally pulling through! (;

ANYWAYS, I’m not here to tell you about my nasty cold or give you excuses as to why I’ve been mia on the blog. I’m here to talk about NYFW!

NYFW is truly the most wonderful time of the year! It’s magic! You go to the city and see the prettiest clothes that will be coming out soon, you see your friends, your favorite designer, your favorite fashion bloggers on Instagram, your favorite model, even your favorite celebrity! EVERYONE’S THERE ALL TOGETHER AND ITS CRAZY! Especially for a small town country girl like me! It will never stop blowing my mind! (I remember last year passing Gigi Hadid as well as Aimee Song from Song of Style just walking down the street! Only in NY!)

You eat the best food, have access to the best shopping, hit the coolest events and parties, you watch the city start to turn gold with the leaves changing, you see the coolest trends and styles all over the runways and street, and experience a culture like no where else. Or at least like no where I’ve been before! 

If you haven’t been and have the opportunity sometime, GO! I promise, there’s nothing like it! And if you’re a first timer, I have a New York Travel Guide HERE! It goes over places to stay, discounts, where to eat, and MORE!  

Kk let’s get back to Fashion Week! This year I packed some outfits that were a more forward/stylish than my regular everyday wear, but not too far off! I love to dress casual and comfortable no matter the occasion! It’s just me! I did however spice up my accessories! My bags and shoes from Botkier were for sure the hottest items I sported! Good accessories are EVERYTHING! They can make or break an outfit, and they can make or break your time in the city!

In the city, once you’re out for the day you’re out! You can’t run back to your car and grab something, and you don’t want to lug around a duffel bag or suitcase all day. Finding a good bag for your things and good shoes for walking miles on end is a nessecity in the city! For me in the past they’ve been difficult to find, but it was easy with Botkier! Their entire line is fashionable, functionable, affordable, and versatile! PERFECT FOR NYFW!

It rained the entire time we were in the city, and honestly not one bag or shoe was ruined! The rain didn’t leak through my bag or shoes either, A SCORE! (Your accessories could never!) 

Below I’ve rounded up some of my favorite items from Botkier! (Including my bags & shoes pictured above!) Simply click on a picture to shop an item! 

Thanks for stopping by guys! It’s good to be back! xx

P.s. If you guys have any questions about the city, traveling, or anything AT ALL, leave a comment below and I’ll get back to you! xx

Your personal guide to southern Utah is HERE! <3 We’re letting you know the best places to stay, where to find the best grub, what to pack, what activities to do, and all the other goods you need to know!  ENJOY GUYS! xx

Stay: Our favorite places to stay are Entrada, Inn on the Cliff, Sports Village, or Las Palmas! Entrada is our favorite, but it’s also the priciest! We recommend Entrada for a special occasion or romantic getaway! For something family & budget friendly we recommend Sports Village or Las Palmas!  

Eat: There’s definitely more chains in this area than most, but a few of the locally owned spots are beyond drool worthy! Our favorites are Anasazi Grill, the restaurant at The Inn on the Cliff, Pizza + Pasta Factory, Poncho Leftys, Freddy’s, Croshaw Pies, & 25 Main!

Pack: Light, airy, & comfy clothing is the only way to go in Southern Utah! It’s so dang hot, you have to dress accordingly! I did some shopping before we left at Vici Collection and got everything for my trip from clothes to accessories from their store! Everything was under $50.00, and I used my discount code BRIT20 to get 20% off my entire purchase! Vici had some super cute graphic tees and light weight tee shirts, tons of beautiful airy dresses, swim cover ups, rompers, denim shorts, sandals, the whole she-bang! 10/10 would recommend checking Vici Collection out before you head of town/need a new outfit for something! <3 We also recommend packing sunscreen, a swimsuit, & some hiking clothes & shoes! 

Play: Southern Utah Is jam packed with activities, but you have to get outdoors! Our favorite things to do are hike at Zions, (angels landing is our favorite hike) visit Dixie rock, (get to the beautiful red rock with no hiking at all) golf, (our favorite courses are Coral Canyon, Entrada, and Sandhallow) visit Pine Valley, Snow Canyon state park, visit Towne Square Park, (splash pad & carousel for kids) swim/boat, (local pool or Sandhallow) Helicopter rides over Zion, Veyo pool, & play pickle ball or tennis! (There are courts everywhere!)

Need to know(s): If you stay at any of the resorts listed above, you’ll be about an hour and a half out of Las Vegas! If you want to shop, go straight to Vegas! Southern Utah has horrible shopping.  

Usually Southern Utah is fairly warm in the winter, but it’s been getting snow the last few years! If you want to hit the outdoor stuff, go before December!  

There’s a billion more things to do here (especially when it comes to hiking) but in this post we wanted to give you everything. Not just the hikes! However, if you’re wanting a full blown hiking experience, we recommend staying in Zion and looking up some of the hikes to see what’s best for you/your family! 

If you guys have any questions about vacationing in Southern Utah, shoot us an email! Or if you have something to add to this list that you love, leave a comment below! We’d love to add to this list! <3 

We hope you all enjoyed this post! Thanks for the love guys! xx
