Welcome to My Diary

Crushing on Velvet
Ok, let's be real. If you were born in the late 80s/early 90s, chances are at some point, you had a deep, un-wavering desire to grow up to be a Spice Girl. You most likely fantasized about owning a Jeep Wrangler, and quoted "Clueless" like it was your own personal life story. Whether you liked it or not, the 90s had a distinct style, and it influenced us all in one way or another.

Holiday Trend Alert: Bows
IT'S A BOW DOWN, SHOW DOWN!
Bow's are my favorite holiday trend! River Island has the cutest bow tops and shoes for the Holidays! Check it out!!!

Love like 90's R&B
If the love doesn't feel like 90s R&B, I don't want it. NUFF SAID.
Feeling Holiday ready in my head to toe River Island look! The red & pink combo is one of my favorite holiday trends! Shop more red & pink goodies via River Island :)

My New Favorite Boots
When it gets cold, sometimes fashion goes out the door. Let's be real... we all just want to STAY WARM in the Winter. Cold toes are the WORST and I often finding myself defaulting to furry boots just for the sheer sake of comfort.

Monochrome Madness
One of my favorite holiday trends is a MONOCHROME outfit. That means one color, head to toe. This week, it's RED. All red everything. I think red is also being used really well with bright pink and mauve this season, which is unexpected and fun!

Must-See Spots in Orange County
I moved to LA almost 8 years ago, and even after all this time, I keep making new discoveries that make me more and more in love with SoCal. The little girl inside of me who grew up in Minnesota still gets a wee bit giddy every time it hits 80 degrees on a December afternoon in the Valley. IS THIS REAL LIFE?

My 2017 Holiday Wish-List
The holidays are upon us!!! I've put together a list of my favorite holiday items by Express... and they all have one thing in common: SEQUINS!!!! They just never get old for me.

Bali's 12 Most Insta-Worthy Locations
Oh, Bali! You have my heart. Let’s be real, if you’ve been to Bali… you know it’s a pretty magical destination. It’s been on my bucket list for ages, and I finally got a chance to visit in September. Bali didn’t just live up to it’s reputation… it blew all of the other places I’ve ever been to out of the water. It’s the kind of place you wind up comparing to heaven on countless occasions, and fantasize about when you’re stuck in traffic.

Model Behavior in Joshua Tree
Last week, Alex and I went out to Joshua Tree with our friend Phil Chester to help him with a photography workshop. We got to model, as Phil taught tips and trick of the trade to 10 students from across the country. It was such a fun experience! I also got to play a little dress up while I was at it and try out some new goodies that I recently got from Express.

Mission: Mission!
Last week's trip to San Diego gave us the opportunity to swing by a few spots I've been wanting to try out. One of which was the beautiful Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala. It was built in 1769 and is California's oldest standing mission! From the beautiful Spanish style architecture to the bells, arches and fountains... I was blown away. Fun fact: this is also home to the first documented olive orchard in California!

Halloween in LA LA LAND
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!! Here are some of my favorite shots from my recent trip to Bates Nut Farm with my hubby! Shop the look via River Island!

Bates Nut Farm with the Jackpots
Wow. I had no idea being married would be this fun!!! Alex and I drove out to Bates Nut Farm last week and enjoyed a day of pumpkin hunting and nostalgia. We felt like kids again. Married kids!

Why I Can't Live Without My New White Tennis Shoes
Every once in a while, a shoe comes along that changes the game for you. For me, that shoe was my new pair of Camper tennis shoes. I've been looking for a way to transition into wearing tennis shoes for quite some time now.

Palm Springs Daycation at The Saguaro
Spent the day at The Saguaro in Palm Springs this week! With such fun colorful surroundings, I felt like busting out an all black mono-chrome look from River Island! These black pieces are staples for fall! Shop the look here!

Why did the Quigley cross the road?
Why did the Quigley cross the road? Because she wanted to show off her new embroidered boots of course!I would be lying if I said I wasn't generally the first one to jump on board the band wagon when it comes to "what's HOT." And even though the weather is cooling down, the trends for Fall are ON FIRE.
