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

Baby Allen is a GIRL!!!! <3 Chase and I are so excited to bring this little angel into the world! I don’t know how or why but it gets that much better once you know what you’re having! 

Chase and I had our family over over for our baby’s gender reveal and it was so much fun!

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!!!!  

Thank you all for your love and support! WE LOVE YOU! xx|HEA

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

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

Adventure was found in my own backyard <3

I’ve caught the travel bug. I’m always aching to go somewhere new and beautiful. Today, I didn’t have to go far.  

Growing up I didn’t appreciate Utahs beauty. But after meeting my husband and seeing this state through his eyes, I can now see what he sees and I’m in love with this place too. <3 If you haven’t been here, get here. And if you’re dying for adventure, start in your backyard. Adventure is all around. 

This outfit is from Lulus! I love that I can wear there items literally anywhere. This dress would look as good in the city as it does in the mountains!

Anndd total side note, this is probably my second blog post ever where I’m not wearing makeup. I’m trying to be more comfortable in my own skin! So far it’s been a slow process, but it’s coming along!  

Thanks for stopping by today loves! And thanks to Lulus for sponsoring this post! xx

Hoodie // Overalls // Sneakers // Bandana // Bag // Necklace // Earrings // Longboard // Photog: Summer Rae // The View Monument Valley

Oh man guys..   this weekend was something out of a dream! My friend Quigley invited me on a road trip she had planned with a few other girls and it was the BEST TIME! Pretty views, new adventures, long talks, no sleep, and some new life long friends! It was the best!!!!

We went to Monument Valley and it was truly breathtaking! I have no idea how I’ve lived in Utah my whole life and not ventured out here until now! If you haven’t been you absolutely must go! (I’d also recommend you hit Moab & Goblin Valley while your at it!) 

In all truthfulness I’m dying to go back and I’m already planning a trip with Chase and my brothers to go visit this summer!  We stayed at The View Hotel and I’m definitely booking it again! 

While packing for this trip I didn’t know what to expect from the weather, so I grabbed one of everything in my closet! It was sunny but windy and cooled off so much once the sun set! I was SO glad I packed this hoodie! It was easy to throw on and was a total vibe with the red rock. Hashtag blending in!!!! (;  

I got it along with the rest of my outfit from Lulus! I also had a bag that matched the hoodie perfectly, but I’m a horrible long boarder and the bag was throwing me off hahaha! However, you can find it here! <3  

Speaking of outfits, keep an eye out on the gram the next few weeks! Quigley dressed me once while we were here and it’s probably the funnest/funkiest outfit I’ve ever worn! STAY TUNED!  

Thanks for stopping by babes! Hope you all have the best day! 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

Happy Friday loves! Does anyone have any fun plans for the weekend?!  

I’ll be hanging out with the family all weekend and I’m so excited! I’d love to go sledding with them if the snow picks up! I already have my outfit picked out for it too! Furry pink coat, YES PLZ! 

I got it (and my entire outfit) from Lulus, one of my all time favorite shops! If you haven’t checked them out, you should put that on your weekend agenda! <3

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

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

Sweater // Suspender Denim // Booties // Hat // Necklace // Earrings // Photog: Gabe Johnson

Taking advantage of Utahs scenery more than ever before. Honestly, I really love being outdoors. Especially in a cute outfit like this! I love how this outfit meshes with the mountains and the weather so perfectly. For once, I feel like I belong in Utah!   

I bought both this sweater & denim from Vici Collection! I knew I had to have them the second I saw them. I’ve been looking for a Pom Pom sweater and this one is the ultimate! It’s comfortable, soft, has the cutest poms, perfect neutral color, and it’s not over done on the poms, just perfect! I also fell in love with these suspender jeans the moment I tried them on! They’re like overalls, but more comfortable! (And in my opinion, a lil more fashionable as well!) 10/10 would recommend this entire outfit to you! (P.s. use code BRIT20 at Vici Collection for 20% your entire purchase!) 

Ok, who watched my insta stories yesterday?! <3 It was my moms 51st birthday, and I planned a little surprise for her!  

I contacted Good Things Utah (Utahs BEST day show) and the hosts from the show agreed to come have lunch at Blue Lemon and do nails at Amara Day Spa with my mom and I for her birthday! I didn’t mention anything to my mom and was anticipating her reaction for weeks!   (My mom has watched their show everyday for YEARS and is literally obsessed with them!.. The Good Things Utah hosts are Beyonce in her eyes!) 

When we got to Blue Lemon and she saw one of the Hosts by her birthday balloons, she started bawling. (Emphasis on BAWLING!) She couldn’t stop hugging/laughing/crying over the hosts! It was so cute!! I took a video but my phone glitched and it didn’t save! (Curse you apple update!) It was an amazing moment to witness!

After lunch we headed to Amara Day Spa (my go to salon & spa in Utah) with the GTU girls for some much needed pampering and girl talk! There was talk of dating, being a mom, how to properly put on your bra, and more! (I also convinced them to tell me what they’re dressing up as for Halloween! Sorry though, I don’t leak secrets!)

My mom was on cloud 9 the entire day! In fact, she’s still on cloud 9 today hahaa!  

I just wanted to say thank you to the GTU hosts for being so kind, loving, charitable, and for making my moms birthday the best yet! We are so grateful for all of you and love you from the bottom of our hearts! I also wanted to say thank you to Amara Day Spa for making us feel like princesses! There’s isn’t another place in Utah I would want to take all these beautiful women to for a day of pampering! 

Lastly, I want to say thank you to my MOM! Thanks for being my mom KAWI ANDWUS! You are an amazing woman & mother, and I’m lucky to be your daughter! Happy 51st mom <3 I love you!!

I know what you’re thinking.. this sweater is not pink! But guys.. in real life it’s totally pink! It was a little dark out when these photos were taken and you can’t see the true color of this beautiful sweater! Anyways.. just thought I’d let you know! I’m still on my week of pink grind for #BreastCancerAwareness! 

I bought this sweater from Vici Collection and thought it would be a perfect outfit to wear during my week of pink! Vici has tons of pink selects if you want to join me in wearing pink! (You still have the rest of October to help raise awareness!) If there’s anything you can’t live without on Vicis website, use code BRIT20 for a discount on your purchase!

I've never been the best at "rainbow road," (if you don't know what I mean, refer to Mario Kart. Also you missed out on childhood.) buutt I am completely in love with this rainbow road! And NOT because it's multicolored, but because of the LGBT community!  

It's amazing to me to see Utah, one of the most conservative states, show pride, love, and stand up for & with the LGBT community by painting the stairs & crosswalks at Gateway rainbow! To me, love is love is love is love, & I believe everyone is deserving of it. <3 Here's to you guys! xx Be proud & DO YOU!  

Side note- this darling wrap dress is from Vici Collection. I have a feeling I'll be wearing this dress all summer long! It's light material feels amazing under the hot sun, and it's extremely flattering on all body types! (The wrap makes it custom to your body!) I'm obsessed with the wrap trend right now, and I'm also digging this balloon sleeve trend! I definitely scored 2 in 1!

Vici is offering all of my readers 20% off their entire purchase right now, making this dress a whopping $46.00 with code BRIT20 checkout! Aka YOU NEED!

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

Summer is calling, and so are the mountains! The older I get, the more I fall in love with Utah. It's truly beautiful here!  

We may not have palm trees, fresh fruit, or beaches, but our mountains are truly amazing. From Zions red rock, to the pines up at Sundance, you can't beat our views. (If you haven't been to Utah, get your a$$ up here this summer! I promise you won't regret it!) 

When summer hits my wardrobe shifts shades. My winter blacks turn to summer whites! This dress is a new addition this year and I had to have it!!!! It's as elegant as a wedding dress, yet simple enough to wear out at night. I got it online from Lulus and am loving their summer selects right now! (Especially their white dress shop!) 

Also, Lulus now carries Free People! (along with a handful of my favorite brands)  10/10 would recommend checking them out! xx

It's almost summer and I couldn't be more prepared! I've got all my suits, self tanners, and beach toys ready! Now all I need is the sun! (Utah.. whenever you're ready!.. But asap plz!) 

C & I escaped the snow last Friday and headed down to St George! We stayed at a beautiful resort called the Inn at Entrada! (Blog post to come on Entradas resort shortly!) It felt amazing to lounge in the sun all day and break in some of my summer buys!   

I put all of my favorite swim suits, sun blocks, tanners, and pool accessories on rotation below for you guys to shop! As of right now, these are my crushes!

This scalloped bikini from Everything But Water is my FAVORITE suit! The scallops are to die for, (Literally, I'd die for this suit) and the material is durable. I can tell this suit will last a me long time! Minimal ware & tear.

For tanning I'm using Kate Somervilles self tanning wipes! They don't leave streaks, they don't have a smell, they don't feel sticky on your skin, and you see results fast! I've tried every self tanner on the planet, and these wipes have the best results with the least maintenance!

There are SO MANY accessories I love, but this rose gold flamingo takes the cake! I snagged him (yes, him. His name is Fobbio.) from Sunny Life Australia and I have a feeling that he & I will be inseparable this summer! 

Cheers to (almost) summer! xx

Today is officially "P" day. I'm wearing pink, my outfit is pleated, the pleats are covered in poppies, the weather is perfect, (yaass) and it's March 14th. Aka 3.14 Aka PI Aka PI DAY!!!! (But I'm calling it P day because I'm just racking up the Ps!) And YES I celebrated by eating two slices of pie today because why the heck not?! (And because Kneaders pies are half off today and who am I to turn down sugar!) Y'all better run to Kneaders & partake of this goodness!!!!

Let's jump back to the pleats for a sec! Have you guys noticed the pleated skirts that have been trending for a while? Tbh I haven't been a fan! But then I saw this pleated top + skirt online and fell in love!! #GiveMeALLThePleats! After wearing this outfit, I'm fully converted. I finally see why pleats are a thing! If you've been hesitant about this trend as well, hopefully this outfit can convert you! It's from Moon River which is one of my brand crushes! I linked a bunch of my favorite Moon River selects below! 

Hoping you all have a wonderful P filled day! (; xx|HEA
