Life is so busy yet exciting lately! I’ve put a limit on trips for a little bit to try and figure out our next big step in life..  buying a home!

The entire process so far has been exhilarating and confusing but I’m so grateful to be at this point in my life and to be learning so many new things!  Chase and I honestly could not be more excited!

After church on Sundays we like to drive around and scope out homes and neighborhoods! We came across this little beauty in Provo yesterday and I had to take some pictures in front of it, it was just so darling! (Plus it matched my ruffle dress from Lulus!) 

We go back-and-forth between getting into a new home, and getting something a little older and turning it into a fixer-upper!   There’s pros and cons to both! (Chase is also super handy and could totally rock a fixer upper! He also watches hgtv all the time so I feel like it’s right up his alley!)

We know for sure we’re not gonna build right now though. We kinda want to save that for our dream home one day! 

Is anyone else in the same boat as us?!  Leave a comment below, I’d love to hear anything & everything!  

Thanks for stopping by today loves! Hope you all have a happy Monday! xx

&& a special thx to Lulus for sponsoring this post! <3

Checked. Bold. Woven. This can only mean one thing.. Gingham <3 my current crush. 

I've loved this "picnic blanket" pattern since I was a kid, and am thrilled it's trending right now! I've tried purchasing gingham tops & dresses for myself the past 5 years, but Chase always shoots it down! (We help each other shop!) Anyways.. He's finally starting to see the beauty in this classic print and I'm officially hoarding it! (Aka give me all the gingham before my husband hates it again hahaa!) 

While I was shopping online I found this suit from Piper & Scoot and got it IMMEDIATELY! I think it's the absolute cutest! I was actually really surprised how beautifully it blended in with the Utah scenery! I was invisioning a beach trip for this one piece, but now I'm thinking picnic up the canyon & a dip in the lake!  

Piper & Scoot has a fun selection of swimsuits! (Unlike many you'll find when shopping online!) I adore this Utah based shop <3 && you should pop on over if you haven't shopped with them before! xx

This little number saved my life while I was in St. George this past week! It's the perfect summer outfit that doubles as a pool coverup! Wear your suit underneath, unbutton + knot the shirt when the sun comes out, and you're golden! 

I think this sun hat & these sandals tie this outfit together in the beachiest way! <3 These two items will be accompanying the majority of my summer outfits from here on out <3 I'm just obsessed with this beachy/summer look!

GOOD MARNIN' PPL! <3  

This post is for all of you SLACKERS who are still in need of getting some gifts!  (No worries, we're not judging! We still have tons of gifts we gotta get ourselves!) 

We wanted to share our top 5 gifts to give! (And to us they are traditional! We give these to eachother every year without fail!) We hope you enjoy! xx 

1. Pa-Jammie-Jams. C & I both LOVE our pj's, especially during the holidays! It's been a tradition in both of our families to give pajamas each Christmas! We always open these on Christmas Eve which makes this gift extra fun! (We got ours from Splendid LA & we LOVE them! Splendid has the coziest/cutest pajama selects!) 

2. Perfume/Cologne. You can't ever go wrong with a new scent! You can purchase one that you know they already love, or shop our scents! Chases favorite colognes are L Homme by YSL, Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani, and Fierce by Abercrombie! Mine are Flower Bomb by Viktor & Rolf, Candy by Prada, and Chance by Chanel! (The purple one!) We got our scents above from Ice.Com! They have just about every scent ever made so it's an easy one stop shop! 

3. Sweats + Socks. It's also a tradition in my family that on Christmas day you open a pair of sweats!  (my dad started this and it's one of my favorite gifts!) If you need any suggestions check out This Post featuring a bunch of cute comfies/sweats for both ladies & gents! (We recommend anything Lulu, Nike, or Adidas!)

4. Headphones. Beats, Bose, Skull Candy. All three of these brands vibe with everyone! (We're beats people, our nephews are skull candy, and our parents are bose.) Hopefully that helps a bit! The preference & prices are fitting for each age group!

5. Jewelry. Like my new Band above! I got it from Ice.Com and love Everything on their website! They have tons of selects for men & women! Watches, bracelets, rings, the works! (We like this because it's more of an intimate gift! <3)

There's also a post on my old website (BritAndrus.Com) that has a really unique way on how to GIVE gifts! You can check that out here!  

We hope this post has helped those of you who aren't quite finished shopping yet! <3 Happy almost holidays loves! Thanks for stopping by! xx

Peplum Top / Skinny Jeans / Denim Jacket / Booties / Handbag / Cuff / Earrings / Photog: Hunter Fowler

I'm sucker for all things casual, simple, & neutral. So when my eyes met up with this loose fitting peplum top, I was sold! 

Peplums are one of my favorite styles! I LOVE how it shows off that feminine side! They're also a dressier top in my opinion! (Especially fitted peplums! I love the loose fit of this one though, it's so cozy & casual!) If you don't already own a peplum, this one's for you! The loose fit makes it more versatile and can be worn anywhere! To work, a night out, a cuddly weekend.. anything! <3 

I bought this one from my favorite shop as of late, Bella Ella! <3 Their clothes are so cute, and their price point is even cuter! You could say I'm addicted.. but hey, I think it's a good addiction! And no I'm not willing to quit it! xx

Ribbed Dress // Booties // Earrings // Photog: Jessa Kae  

One of my favorite trends this year is ribbed tops! Tight fitting, textured, ribbed everything! I lovvee ribbed dresses too, but hadn't purchased one out of fear. (Ribbed dresses look like they fit extremely tight! And I'm not sure how I feel about that sometimes!) But then I saw this pink baby, and fell in L O V E!!!!  

This is the first ribbed dress I've ever seen that's loose fitting and flowy! It's made of the softest fabric, and has an incredible stretch! It also comes in the CUTEST colors for fall! (I had a hard time deciding on just one..) 

My favorite part about this dress is that it can easily be dressed up or down! It meshes with my finer jewelry & heels on Sunday, and also with my booties and denim jacket that I wear almost everyday! <3  

If you're looking for a new dress, you're not anymore. (;
