Sunday best rocking our new Hush Puppies! We're kind of in love with our Hush Puppies shoes. (And each other, but we won't get into that right now!) (;  

When it comes to buying clothes/styling outfits, we always consider how comfortable the item is, then the looks of the item! (Comfort first ALWAYS!) These Hush Puppies definitely pass our test! 

We will be buying a few more shoes from this brand throughout the year! We just love em.

Hope you all had a wonderful Sunday!! xx|HEA

If you tapped into our instagram story this past week, you know we were shackin' it up at the incredible Zermatt Resort in Midway, Ut! (You know, the cute Swiss looking resort!)

We decided to celebrate our Valentine's Day a little early and booked ourselves the romance package at this breath taking resort! The romance package included chocolate covered strawberries, our choice of cider/champagne, rose petals throughout our suite, and a late check out! (Yeessss!) We added a couples massage to our romance package and it was the icing on the cake! 

When we first arrived at Zermatt and got to our room, we were stunned! The room was beautiful & the views were picture perfect. We both agreed that Zermatt is the perfect mountain hideaway! (Especially for us! Enough mountains/outdoor feels for Chase, & enough luxury for Brit!)

(There were the most delicious chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us when we arrived! Best. Welcome. Ever.)  

The following day we slept in, (the bed was soo cozy) and took it easy! We decided to head down to Smoke Haus for breakfast! (One of two restaurants at the resort!) It did NOT disappoint! We ordered biscuits & gravy + eggs benedict and it was DIVINE!  (We love food all too much. Food is always a highlight!)

Following breakfast, we headed to the spa to enjoy a massage! The massage therapists were AMAZING, and we felt light/relaxed the rest of the day! (The massage was much needed!) P.s. The spa was absolutely beautiful. It had a refreshing smell, and was a stunning space. We miss it there already!

After our massage, we spent the rest of the afternoon taking it easy. We cuddled, enjoyed our view, took a stroll around the grounds, headed back down to the spa and took advantage of the sauna & steam rooms, and B had to indulge in the pool! (The water was so warm & the sun was out.. couldn't resist!)

Our stay definitely wasn't long enough. There were so many things on our list we didn't get do! The adventure at Zermatt continues with Skiing. Fly fishing. Scuba diving. Golf. Tennis. Swimming. Boating. Hiking. Horse trails. Bike trails. Climbing. Ziplines. Bob sledding. RZRs. ATVs. and Snowmobiles!

Zermatt is truly a resort where you can come to fully relax/be pampered, or play hard! (And obviously, the next time we visit will be purely for PLAY!) 

If this is intriguing to any of y'all, then head over to our instagram! (@HappilyEverAllen!) We've teamed up with Zermatt & were giving away a romance package to one lucky winner! (Just in time for Valentine's Day too!) And PEEPS, if you don't have any Valentine's Day plans yet, we HIGHLY recommend booking this for you and your lover! It's beautiful, affordable, romantic, delicious, and perfect for a lil getaway! 

Til we meet again dearest Zermatt! xx

 What's up peeps?! <3 

We just got back home from the Zermatt in Midway and absolutely loved it! (We'll put a post up of our adventure soon!) 

While we were there, we ventured out to one of our favorite places in Utah (Park City) to get in some fine dinning & shopping! First of all, we have to tell you about this incredible restaurant we went to called Riverhorse!!!! It's located on Main Street, and it was DIVINE! 10/10 would recommend for a hot date night or a celebration! (We ordered the surf & turf + the macadamia nut crusted Alaskan halibut. Both were heaven on earth.) 

After dinner, we shopped on main for a while because we were so STUFFED! (Gotta work off that din din!) All the things we bought/were drawn to were deep colored, kinda like our outfits above! Very neutral & casual. And let's be honest for a second, at this point, we are the definition of casual! 

Our favorite shops up there are Prospect, Flight, and Cake!  (&& the Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory, but that one is a given!) 

Hoping you're all having a lovely week! Thanks for stopping by! xx|HEA

We are often asked how we style ourselves to "match" eachother! When people ask us this we honestly don't know how to answer!.. We don't plan to match on purpose. Our styles & tastes are one in the same! We did however figure out what it is that keeps our outfits aligned! 

We both prefer simple, neutral items. Like this look above! We both avoid color, bling, and anything with too much print or detail! (Of course this isn't always the case, but we'd say it is 90% of the time!) 

The main reason we stick to the simple neutrals is because it looks classy & it's easy to dress up or down! (The way you accessorize your neutral outfit makes a huge difference on the vibe your outfit gives off!) For example, adding a hat & sneakers will make the outfit look more casual, while adding heels and a vest will dress it up! 

There are a few places we like to get our neutral pieces from. We both like Nordstrom and J Crew! And on a VERY affordable end we love Pacsun for Chase & Bella Ella for Brit! (This is where our tops/many outfits on our blog are from!) If you need to revamp your closet (or want to redo your wardrobe) the best bang for your buck is Pacsun for the Fellas & Bella Ella for the ladies! xx

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

Casual style on repeat for us Allens. <3 We love getting dressed up, & we loovvee being dressed down.  

C & I both have a few items that spice up our casual/comfy outfits and make us look "dressed up" enough to be out & about when in reality, we're just in our sweats! Chase often shops at G-Star to find comfy clothes that look more dressed up! G-Star has a great selection of sweatshirts, hoodies, & henleys that are soft, unique, & look amazing! As for me, my go to "spice it up" item is my denim jacket! I tie it at the waist, or put it on & cuff the sleeves!

This Utah weather has C & I in shock this year! By this time we normally have a handful of snowy days, and right now we're hitting high 60's! SNOW FALL WHERE U @?! 

Dont get us wrong, we love this weather! But, considering we're crazy about the holidays, a little snow would be nice to get us fully in the ultimate holiday spirit!  

We've actually been trying to do a little Christmas-sy something every single day since November 1st! (In hopes that the holidays last longer and don't vanish in the blink of an eye!) Some have been bombs, (like trying to visit park city's now CLOSED ornament shop) but some have been amazing (like playing elves!) We wanted to share 5 things you can do this week to get into the Christmas spirit/jump start your holiday! <3 Enjoy peeps! 

1. Put your decorations up while listening to Christmas music or watching a Christmas movie! <3  (Hallmark has a handful of x-mas flicks playing all week long, & Netflix has a few good selects too!) 

2. Bake/cook/make a treat that you usually only do during the holidays! Trust me, when the holiday aroma is in your home, you'll be feeling all sorts of merry & bright!

3. Take a drive up the canyon and into the pines! The scenery is beautiful, and the drive is relaxing! (And if you drive up high enough, you just might hit snow!)  

4. If you're in Utah, make a Swig stop! WE LOVE swigs hot cocoa with a shot of coconut! (Or 2.. or 3....!)  

5. Take a moment to figure out what you can give before the new year hits. Not gifts, but what you yourself can actually give to the earth, the people in your lives, yourself, and above all God. Focus on these things as the season continues to approach <3 this will fill your heart with joy and connect you with the reason for this wonderful season! <3 xx Happy extremely early holidays from us to you!!!! 

P.s. If anyone has any favorite traditions, recipes, or ways to get into the Christmas spirit early leave a comment below! <3

Happy Halloween you lil SPOOKS! <3 The older C & I get, the more we appreciate this holiday! (Is it bad to say I'm already looking forward to Halloween next year?!) 

Anyways!.. We've been festive all October long with our Atlasware water bottles! We HAVE to have our Atlasware bottle at all times! It keeps our water cold for 24 hours, and my cocoa HOT for 18! Chase & I used ours all summer when we were working outside, and now we put our cocoa in it if we're up early in the morning or up in the mountains! This water bottle went from a luxury to a necessity within a few weeks! (We always wonder how we survived with out it/why doesn’t everyone have a water bottle that’s this amazing, festive, & functional.) If you love the outdoors/work outdoors you need this water bottle! <3 Atlasware for the Win! <3 

We hope you all have a wonderful Halloween! Stay warm & stay safe loves! xx

I'm incredibly picky with my jeans, and this pair has me SWOONING! I bought these Grey Skinnies from Bella Ella & they just turned into my "go to" denim! I feel like they lift, shape, slim, stretch, and tighten in all of the right areas! They're beyond comfortable & flattering, they're perfection! (And if you ask Chase, they make the booty look all sorts of heart eye emojis!) Definitely both C & my new favorite! <3 

I also snagged this darling Military Jacket from Bella Ella! I've been on the search for one ever since NYFW where they were trending hard in the streets & the runway! I love how this one fits & has the faux leather sleeves! It definitely stands out amongst others! I find myself wearing it all the time, it goes with everything! The styling options with this baby are endless! 

As for C's jeans + jacket, he's eaqually obsessed! His style has been changing a little bit, and I'm not mad about it! He's been shopping for neutral, comfortable, simple items and obviously it's working for him! (Insert heart eye emojis times a million) Some of you may say this is "grungy" (like his babe-in motto jeans from Hudson) but I think it looks Kanye! (And I mean that in the best possibly way!) YEEZY STEEZY 5EVER! 

THE WEDDING

Six months ago I made the most important decision of my life, and said yes to forever with the man of my dreams. <3 

It’s crazy to think that Chase and I have been “The Allens” for half a year already. I honestly don’t know where the times goes! I suppose it just passes you by when you’re on cloud 9. 

I truly feel like I’m the luckiest in the world. I can’t begin to tell you in words how much I love this man.. Or even how much he means to me. But I can tell you that without him, I am incomplete. He makes my life come to life, and I can’t imagine my world without him. 

So here’s to us babe <3 to the last 6 months, to our perfect day, to our endless future, and our once in a lifetime love. <3 

Family is absolutely everything to us. <3 We definitely lucked out in that department! (We also consider our friends family, and are so grateful for each one of them. Don’t know where we’d be with out you guys!) Love you all! 

Cutest flower girls in the world! Wearing Bliss Tulle <3

The most beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen in my life. <3 My talented friend & florist Madison Murdock (Bloom by Madison) did everything when it came to our flowers! I was so busy planning countless things, and she just took charge! (And I’m so grateful because I couldn’t have picked them better myself!) Madison’s arrangements are just as dreamy as she is. <3

We held our wedding dinner, ring ceremony, and reception at The Manor located in the Riverwoods. The Manor is directly across the way from the restaurant Chase & I went to on our very first date. <3

One of my favorite parts of our wedding day was the ring ceremony. I. love. kids. Have since I was just a youngin myself! 

Chase & I wanted all of the littles in our lives to take part in our special day. And we’re so glad we did! THEY WERE ALL SO CUTE! 

When the ring ceremony first started, our 10 flower girls walked down the isle with me holding my train. (In fact, they held that baby so tight it was riding up my body haha!) When I reached Chase, they all plopped down on the floor right behind me. I didn’t notice this at first, but when I looked back and saw all of their perfect faces right behind me I wanted to cry.. They looked like angels. The bond I have with all of the littles in my life is unbreakable. I’m so grateful for the relationships I have with these angels. <3 

This right here basically sums us up. Hahaa! Us Allens in our natural habitat! 

Chase and I both have an obsession with food. We couldn’t decide on one cake, so we had three! Gluten free, delicious, and absolutely gorgeous! Cassidy Budge from Flour & Flourish did our cakes and she was phenomenal! From the taste, to the last detail, every “piece” was perfection!

Jessica Janae photographed our wedding and I wouldn’t of had it any other way! Jessica’s talent is indescribable.. I have been in love with her work for years. If I could have picked anyone in the entire world to document our big day, it would be her. <3 Simply put, her pictures are timeless.. 

Not only did she capture each moment of our day to perfection, but she kept my mood light and happy when I needed it! She has the best personality and was beyond a dream to work with! (Jess, I seriously  love you to death! Thank you for being amazing!) 

Another person who went above and beyond their job for our wedding was my hair and makeup artistVivian Johnson. She kept me calm when things took a wrong turn, she kept me fed + entertained, she put up with me when I was being a diva, and she made absolute sure that I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world each time she got me ready.  

The way Vivian makes you look and feel is amazing. There’s honestly no better feeling! 

We started makeup and hair at 7:00 a.m. & it still looked flawless by the end of the night! There’s no one else I would have trusted to get me ready for my important day! (Viv, thank you SO MUCH for all you did for me! My day wouldn’t have been complete without you <3 You’re one amazing soul, & I love you to death!) 

Mark Keysor did our wedding video. To say I’m obsessed is in understatement! (With Mark & his work!) Chase & I could both watch this video over & over again. It takes us right back to this perfect day. <3 I love reliving our special day and seeing all of these beautiful little moments. If you’re getting married in the near future, I HIGHLY recommend having a video done! Nothing compares to it!
