Draper James x Tryall Club

Draper James x Tryall Club

A few weeks ago I got to travel to The Tryall Club in Jamaica with the incredible Draper James team and my new blogger besties Sarah, Sydney, and Steph! We went to shoot their new collection, (it launched yesterday!) and experience the amazing amenities the Tryall Club offers. To say this whole trip was a dream come true would be a huge understatement. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to go! I also have to thank my amazing support system at home because there’s no way I could have made it work without help from my mom, and the best husband holding down the fort. I am the luckiest to have them! Let me give you a little info on these two amazing brands that teamed up to create pure magic! First up: Draper James. This incredible clothing company was founded by Reese Witherspoon and each piece is so classy and feminine. Every dress I wore on the trip made me feel beautiful, elegant, and confident. Even though every item in her collection is stunning, they are still realistic and comfortable for everyday life! I was so impressed with the quality and overall fit of each collection. They have a high end look with a more affordable price tag! Check out the pieces I wore below that are now

Blogger Brunch at Lemon and Sage

Happy Monday/ Labor day guys! I had the opportunity to go to an amazing brunch at Lemon and Sage Market hosted by such talented people a few weeks ago and had such a blast chatting with some girlfriends over the yummiest food. I want to tell you all of the details about the event so lets just on into it! The most gorgeous floral arrangements by: Millefleurdesign Peach caprese salad – Farm fresh peaches, fresh mozzarella, basil with aged dark cherry balsamic and tangerine infused olive oil. Every Detail was so well thought out and beautiful! Maple bacon bread pudding served with fresh whipped cream, strawberries, and homemade vanilla syrup. (Also the challa bread used was also made by makenna from scratch) Baked brie in a puffed pastry with sundried tomatoes and pesto served with fresh homemade sourdough (made from scratch by makenna) Gorgeous photo’s taken by the talented Melea Nelson Can you even believe how beautiful this brunch was?! It looked like a picture out of a magazine, I swear. Everything was DELICIOUS too. Like, so so amazing I couldn’t even handle it.

She has recently started her own catering company and only uses high quality organic ingredients and artisan products in everyday cooking with unique flavor combinations.

When in doubt, wear orange

When in doubt, wear orange

Hi babes! How cute is this dress from Pink Blush? Orange isn’t typically a color I wear often, but after seeing how well this dress looked against my skintone, I might be buying it more! I also love the long sleeves. With Spring, you never know how the weather will be so this dress is perfect for those cooler days. I also love the length on this. It’s perfect for the rare occasion that we make it to 9 o’clock church… Sorry mom! Since my last post with Pink Blush, a few people reached out to me asking if it was a maternity clothing shop and the answer is yes. BUT, they also carry regular women’s pieces, as well as plus sized clothing. They cater to women’s bodies in literally every stage which is a huge reason why I love working with them! This definitely won’t be the last piece you’ll see from them. So since I’ve got you here I want to chat about a fun event coming up. If you’re a Salt Lake City local this one’s for you! This Friday from 6-8pm, Free People is having a trunk show showing you all the latest and greatest from their new beauty and wellness line. Everything they sell is organic and cruelty free too! There will be demo’s, free samples,
