Well, I can't believe it! All of you helped me to reach 1K on my Instagram (if you're not following already you should be! @mox_ie). And all I can say is THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. This whole blogging thing was a dream of mine, and you all have helped it to become a reality! I seriously can't believe how much fun I have had with this the last few months! Not only has it been a fun creative outlet for me, I have also already made some wonderful friends! And I can only imagine how much better it will get in the months to come. A special thank you to my family and friends and the strangers who have followed along ever since the beginning of my journey. You have no idea what it means to me, and I sincerely thank you. So cheers to 1K and praying for 14K. :P Because I believe that dreams do come true!

I guess I should probably talk about my outfit real quick! These pants. Do yourself a favor and get a pair! So comfy and so flattering. I love them! I paired them with this graphic tee I found a while back at TJ Maxx and my new hat from Coco Rose Boutique. Loving burgundy right now. 

Hope you all have the best Thursday! Don't forget tomorrow night is girl's shopping night with Triple Thread and Aly of Living in Style OC! Hope to see you there!

HEYYYYY, Ladies! I'm back from vacation to SLC, and I'm currently still sitting in bed at 10am sipping coffee. The best. We had the most amazing time with my brother, his wife and their three girls. The girls are insanely fun, asking a million questions and going non-stop. I loved it. And Utah is so beautiful! I see now why all my fave bloggers live there. :P We did two different hikes to waterfalls, and even on an afternoon run around the neighborhood with my brother, the scenery was amazing. So much fresh air and open space! 

I got this skirt a few seasons back for a steal at Nordstrom Rack. It was originally $100, and I got it for $25. It's the BEST quality. The best I've ever had for a fitted midi skirt! And I snagged this crop at the H and M sale recently. I tried to find it for you online but I couldn't! :( I'm also seriously loving this necklace! I have seen similar styles all over Insta but what's unique about this one is if you flip it, you get a different color! So you can pick what you're feeling and go with it. And the best part is both of the colors compliment a lot of outfits so the options are endless! I got mine through a rep for Premier Designs Jewelry so if you are interested, please contact me, and I will be more than happy to connect you with her! 

Oh, and in case you've missed it in a previous post, you can find my favorite top knot tutorial here. Best on dirty hair, of course!

P.S. This Friday, August 29th, I'm hosting an end of summer shopping event with fellow blogger Aly of Living In Style OC. All the details can be found here. Hope to see you there!

God is GREATER

Shirt: The Light Blonde here (Check their Instagram @thelightblonde for restocking info); Skirt: Windsor Store, similar here

Kimono: Ross; similar here; Boots: Target,similar here; Belt: Thrifted; Bag: H and M, similar here

Can I just tell you how AMAZING this shirt is?! The symbols on the shirt stand for "God is greater than our ups and downs". I absolutely love it. It's an amazing reminder that no matter what happens in this life, God IS greater. I'm not usually one to wear "religious" t-shirts because they tend to be to blatant for me. Don't get me wrong, I will tell anyone who asks about relationship with God. I love this tee because it has an amazing message behind it but also just looks like a really awesome graphic tee. The Light Blonde has created a winner with this one! I paired it with this acid wash midi from Windsor and some boots and a kimono. I've been obsessed with adding a kimono to everything lately because I think it can complete an outfit perfectly!

Ben and I are currently in Utah visiting my brother and his wife and their three girls. We are having a blast! We went on this amazing hike yesterday to a waterfall and also to get ice cream at Farr's, this famous place out here. The girls are so fun and are constantly asking questions and they call us "Uncle Ben" and "Aunt Christine", and I love it. Hope you all have the best weekend!

xoxoxo,

Christine

I'd Hit That

I know, I know. Slightly inappropriate, but oh-so-much fun. I was out shopping with my friends the other day, and I showed them this shirt, and they were like you HAVE to get it; it's so funny! So I did, and here we are. I paired it with my new fave high-waisted denim from Kaitlyn and these Target sandals that I can't stop wearing!

How's everyone's week going? Mine is passing fairly quickly already which is good because I need my hubby to come home like yesterday, and I still have to wait four more days! The rest of the week should go by fast for me though because I work and then am going to Palm Springs to celebrate one of my BFFs 30th birthdays! Can't wait for some sunshine and good times with mah girls!
