God is GREATER

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!

Thrifted Kimono

Buenos dias, Bellas! It's a new week! How was everyone's weekend? I hope you all did something fun and got to spend time with the ones you love! My hubby and I both worked Saturday so Sunday we had a fun day and got to hang out and do things like go to Target (Who doesn't love a Target date?!). We also got inspired to change a few things around in our house, and it's amazing what a little rearranging can do for you! Our bedroom literally feels like a new room. We still have some work to do hanging stuff and getting some accent pieces but I'll post photos once it's all done! Oh, and if you follow me on Instagram, you saw that I tried to make macaroons. Epic. Fail. I might try one more time but otherwise I will just buy them or make my bff make them for me. She's good at it.

Sooo this kimono. Amazing right? I found it at the thrift store, and I love. I don't tend to find really awesome pieces at the thrift store that often so I was super excited! I paired it with some white denim and boots for a boho feel. Can't wait to style it for the fall too!

I'm off to do a workout at CrossFit, the final one before our gym's competition this weekend! Eeek! I'm excited. Have any of you ever tried CrossFit? If so, what did you think? I loveee it. I've been doing it for over two years now and can't get enough of it! Happy Tuesday!

xoxoxo,

California: Home Sweet Home

So today I'm featuring this cutest tank from Royal Bowtique! I've grown up in California my WHOLE life. I've actually only lived two places, my parents and the apartment I'm in now. I love where I live! There's the beach and mountains, and the weather is nearly always perfect. I love that California is the place I call "home". I paired my tank with these cute floral shorts and a kimono. I love a loose graphic tee paired with fun bottoms!

How's everyone's week? Mine has been busy so far! I actually thought yesterday was Thursday. Whoops. I went from not being super busy to everything happening at once! Aka errrrbody wants their hair did. :P Yesterday I met up with Aly of Living In Style OC (@livinginstyleoc; if you live in the area, make sure to follow her! She posts about food, fashion and fun in Orange County!) and another friend, and we will be having a fun girly event coming for you soon so stay tuned for details on that! 

Hope you all have a blessed day! 

Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. Psalm 119:1-2

Lace Love

Hey everyone! If you didn't see already from Instagram, Ben and I went beach camping over the weekend! It was so fun! I didn't end up pulling off it being a surprise (I was SOOOOOO sad) because I left something open on the computer accidentally when I was leaving for work last Thursday. Boo. But we still had the best time. We hadn't ever been camping together! And camping is already so much fun, but let me tell you, camping with a hubby is like a million times better. We just went to the beach and sat around the fire and snuggled and ate the best fish tacos and went for a walk and read and threw the football. Oh, and it was Ben's 24th birthday too so we obviously celebrated that! The best weekend.

Now onto my outfit! This lace kimono is probably one of my favorite recent purchases. You can put it on with shorts, pants, a dress, or a romper, and it instantly adds to your look. I always love finding the cute, simple dresses at Forever that you can add whatever you want to. This one in particular happened to be the perfect cut, and I just love it! I'm obviously obsessed with this necklace as well!  

Hope you all have the best day! Today is our one year engagement anniversary, and we're going back to dinner at the place we went after we got engaged! (Yes, we are AT LEAST going to celebrate that this year :P)
