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

“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!

A little Sunday best in this beautiful white dress from Lulus! After church today I had to go up the canyon and snap some pics of it.. it’s just too pretty! (Anyone recognize this Provo Canyon Park?!)  

Honest truth, 95% of my church dresses are from Lulus! Cute + affordable seems to be my game lately!  

Where do you like to shop for your “Sunday Best” attire?! Leave a comment below! I want to know!  

Hoping you all have a wonderful Sunday my loves! And hoping the Jazz beat the Rockets tonight! LEGGO JAZZ NATION!!!! xx

SOLEOHA beautiful people! Soleoha is basically “Aloha” but when you’re Sole Society obsessed! (; Today I’m SOO excited to share my fashion travel guide for the tropics, starting with the real MVPs, Sole Society shoes!

I kid you not, I’ve worn a pair of Sole Society’s shoes ERRE SINGLE DAY here! (They work with everything and are so dang cute!) If you aren’t familiar with Sole Society, let me give you the run down! Sole Society is a footwear company that produces trendy, fashion forward, high quality, and affordable shoes + accessories! I’ve shopped with them for years! You can find them online on their website Solesociety.Com!

Before heading out the the Hawaiian islands, I knew my swim + shoe game needed to be on point! Swim for obvious reasons, but shoes were just as important to me! There’s a lot of walking to be done here, and I knew my feet would be killing me if I wasn’t wearing supportive sandals! I also wanted shoes that wouldn’t hurt when sand got into them. Sometimes the sand can get caught between your skin and your shoe, and after a few rubs it can cut your skin up! These shoes handled the walking & sand like champions! I give them a 10/10 for function, durability, and over all look!

I snagged a couple of colorful pairs to wear to the beach, a few neutral pairs to wear around town, and a heel to wear out on a date with Chase! They were beyond perfect! I also ordered a beach bag, a carry on for my flight, and a hat to help keep the sun off of my face! Everything I wore received compliments all day long! (It was kinda cute actually hahaa!)

Out of all the things I packed on this tropical trip, these shoes were by far the most important! (Ok, sunscreen, then shoes!) If you’re headed out on a holiday, or doing anything that involves a lot of walking I HIGHLY recommend shopping for shoes at Sole Society! We spend a lot of time in our shoes everyday, so to me, it’s a no brainer to invest in a few good pairs! Don’t let your shoes hold you back, run freely with Sole Society! <3

Thanks for stopping by today lovelies! Love you all!

P.s. I’ll be doing a swimsuit guide + Hawaii travel guide later this week! Stay tuned loves! xx

The blossoms are blooming and you know what that means.. SPRING is among us! It’s felt so nice outside lately. Heck, I’ve even been able to start wearing shorts & tanks out! (First time in Utah since 2018 started! FINALLY!)

I got this light blue/spring dream number from Lulus and have been living in it 24/7! (It’s just so cute, and the weather is too good!) The denim shorts have the perfect amount of stretch and the floral top is too fun! They’re both from brands I LOVE too which is always a bonus! (Top is Moon River & shorts are Free People!)

Also, I’ve been trying to keep up on my tan and think it shows quite nicely in these photos! (I use self tanner, not tanning beds!) I’ve tried just about every product you can think of and the one I’m obsessing over right now is this South Seas bottle! If you’re looking for a new self tanner to try out, this one is gold! 

Thanks for reading lovelies! Hope spring is treating you all well! LOVE YOU xx

“Love is the answer.” <3

Man.. this tee is the worlds greatest. I’ve been wearing graphic tees my entire life and this one takes the cake! The words.. it’s so true! In my life, whenever I’ve been happy, or sad, or scared, or confused, or ANYTHING honestly, the solution, the solvent, and the answer is always LOVE. <3

For those of you who have followed us/read our blog since the beginning, you know that we’re big advocates for #SpreadingLOVE! In my opinion, nothing else really matters. Life is all about the love you give, as well as the love we receive.

So today, wether it’s to your spouse, your parents, a friend, your dog, a co-worker, a school mate, or a total stranger, I challenge you to #SpreadLOVE! (And if you do, leave a comment below on your experience! It can be as simple or as extravagant as you’d like!)

Thanks for stopping by today everyone <3 I LOVE YOU!!!!

P.s. My entire outfit from head to toe is from Lulus! Aka my go to!!!! (Sorry loves, a few things are out of stock!) I will definitely be sporting this outfit all spring + summer long! It’s the cutest!

Truth be told, us Allens haven’t had a proper Valentine’s Day! This will be our 6th one together, and we’ve yet to get it right! (We we’re both always on work trips over Valentine’s Day while we were dating, and since we’ve been married we’ve had to work all day and night on Valentine’s Day! WE SUCK!) We are BREAKING that habit though this year!

That being said, Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be something you go all out for! We promise you will survive! <3 On the other hand, if you love love, love holidays, love going over the top for that special someone in your life, there’s nothing wrong with going all out either!  <3 BOTH ARE GREAT! 

We wanted to share our Valentine’s Day date + gift ideas with you all today! From chill to over the top, we hope you find something that’s perfect for YOU! 

 

Cheap dates<3

Take your chick fil’ bae to Chick Fil A! Come home to a cozy little scene with Netflix/Amazon prime movies ready to go! (We recommend “The Choice” on prime! Forts encouraged!)

Ice skating with a side of cocoa to warm you up! (Or cuddles. Either way!) If you’re in Utah, midway has the cutest little ice rink!  

Sledding! Any hill will do <3 don’t forget to warm your lover up afterwards! (;

Dinner at home! Cook together, light a candle, play some music, dress up, and enjoy! Don’t forget desert! Chocolate covered strawberries are easy and festive! (And delicious!) 

Create a “museum of love” or “book of us” for your lover! Take them to all the significant places in your life together or have things that mean a lot to both on display! OR take pictures of anything and everything that has helped build you as a couple and turn it into a cute love book! Can be as romantic and creative as you make it! Just have fun with it! <3

Car drives up the canyon with a love playlist made especially for them on repeat! (And maybe some Hershey kisses to snack on!)  

 

All out dates<3

DINNER AT THE FAV ALWAYS! And make the reservation now! V-Day dining reservations fill up so fast!!!! If you’re in Utah, we recommend the Melting pot, River Horse, the Tree Room, Foundry Grill, La Caille, Market Street Grill, Handle Salt Lake, and Copper Onion! (These are our favorite restaurants in Utah!)

Helicopter tour in your area! (If you’re in Utah, we recommend Temple square or Zion!) 

Color Me Mine! It’s so relaxing, creative, cozy, and they have the best music playing! (This is one of our favorite places to go on dates!)  

Indoor skydiving + flow rider in Ogden! Super active, crazy fun date! (We’ve done this twice and LOVE it!) 

Rock Climbing! (Aka state at your lovers bumm while their life rests in your hands!) If in Utah, we recommend the Quarry!  

Ski/Snowboard/Snowmobile + Spa day! Hit the slopes then cool off in a hot tub followed by a facial or a massage! THE BEST!

Thinking about sending these pics to NASA because my mom says I’m a star! (; jk. You could say I’m a little obsessed with stars though. Growing up I was always doodling them, or staring at them in the sky and trying to find all the constellations. I once danced on a team called Stars, my fav emoji rn is the star eyes, I recently got a couple star/constellation necklaces, and now this tee

I got it from Vici Collection and have been wearing it on repeat! I love it’s oversized fit and of course as discussed above, it’s star graphics! If you’re a star freak like I am, go get this tee before it’s gone! Orrrr you can shop some of my favorite starry pieces below! Happy Monday my loves! xx

I’ve really enjoyed wearing the fur coats, embellished dresses, and crazy colors the past little while, but I will always come back to my basics! A simple, cozy sweater and jeans will always be me!  

I got this sweater from (yep, you guessed it) my latest obsession Vici Collection and it’s at the very front of my closet right now! (All my favorite pieces go directly to the front!) These jeans are also on the top of their pile! I got them from L Agence and they are amazing! Distressed and cropped at the bottom so us shorter girls don’t have to get them altered! The color, fit, and stretch are something to brag about too. If you’re looking for a new pair, I’d recommend these! (They also come in black, and a dark washed blue!) 

Thank you for stopping by loves! Hoping you all have a wonderful day! P.s. You can shop some of my favorite items right now below! Click a pic to shop! xx

Hello loves <3  

Who’s been up in the mountains enjoying the snow this year? It’s hardly snowed in the valley, and I’ve found myself in the mountains these past few months more than ever! (Winter/snow is my favorite!) 

Aside from crushing on the snow, I’m also crushing on Vici Collections coats + jackets! They’re all perfect for a ski trip, a weekend at the cabin, or a night out on the town! This black one I’m wearing above is simple, sleek, & has that faux fur collar that’s trending hard right now! A MUST for this season! 

What are some things that are “musts” for this season/new year?! 

Thanks for tuning in loves! Hoping you all have a lovely day! xx

My inner child was screaming over this outfit! It’s sugar and spice and everything nice! <3 I love the cute details in the sweater, the pearls on these jeans, and the fuzz on this coat! Everyone needs a “girls just wanna have fun” get up!  

I got this sweater from Vici Collection and am in love with it! They also have some of the cutest fur coats around! If you shop with Vici, make sure to use code BRIT20 for a discount on your order!
