Colorful High Waist Bikinis for Summer

Summer is here which means bring on the bikinis! Not only do I love summer but I love all the bright fun colors that come along with it. On today’s blog I’m sharing three of my favorite high-waisted bikinis. They are so flattering and bright which will have heads turning at all your pool parties.

Size references I’m 5’7″ and 140 pounds

Bikini #1

This bikini is from Amazon, I got a medium and it fit great. The swimsuit wrap is from another bikini set that I will link here. I didn’t like the bikini that much but loved the coverup and matched it with this bikini instead. This bold pink is going to be all over this summer! It’s really flattering, comes in lots of different colors and has adjustable straps.

Bikini #2

This swimsuit is also from Amazon! In swimsuits I typically size up because I got a big butt. All those squats at the gym are finally paying off. This was a medium and the bottoms were a tad big but still wearable. This suit also come in bunch of different colors and prints, plus the straps are adjustable.

Bikini #3

This bikini is from Senita. They have the BEST workout clothes so I knew their swimsuits would be just as cute and high quality. The material on the swimsuit is really good quality and full coverage on the bottoms. I got a size small in the top and a medium on the bottoms, both fit perfectly. This bikini is a great color and supportive. You can use my code “BELLA15” and get 15% off for new customers. This code will work on their active wear items as well and I can’t say enough good things about this brand. You can check out some of their workout clothes on my Instagram! This exact suit is linked HERE for the top and HERE for the bottoms.

Which swimsuit is your favorite? Honestly I can’t pick, I LOVE them all. I guess I will just have to attend all the pool parties so I can wear these suits all summer long!

Tie-Dye Ruffle Dress for Spring!

Spring is here and the weather in Scottsdale, Arizona has been absolutely amazing. This week on the blog I’m sharing this fun spring tie-dye dress from Amazon!

This off-the-shoulder dress is great for spring and summer styles! I personally wore it this year at Easter brunch with my family and got so many compliments! I’m 5’7 and I got a size small, it’s a little short so if you have a long torso maybe think about sizing up. You can wear this dress with wedges or dress it down with some white strappy sandals.

A Hit Sweater Dress From Amazon for Fall

Rob and I went on a much needed date night to The Mission AZ at Kierland Commons in Scottsdale, AZ. We had such a wonderful time and the food was absolutely amazing. If you ever find yourself in Scottsdale, Arizona I would highly recommend eating at The Mission AZ. I would make a reservation and request to sit on the patio, it’s beautiful. I want to remind you as we move into the holiday season remember to check in with yourself and loved ones. This year is going to be different to say the least and your health is top priority.

The temps are finally cooling in Arizona ( HA only took to late November) and that means sweater dresses! I got this adorable sweater dress off amazon for only $37. I was happily surprised with how good the quality was of this dress plus it comes in 8 other colors. You could easily wear this for a fun date night or even to Christmas dinner! This sweater dress is so flattering, you will look stunning. I got a size small and I’m 5’7″ and 140 pounds.

4 Ways to Wear Faux Leather Leggings This Fall

Faux leather leggings are one of the hottest fall/winter trends you will be seeing all over social media. Check out my fun Instagram Reel video showing how to style Faux leather leggings 4 different ways!

These faux leather pants are not only extremely comfortable but they can be dressed up or down. This makes for a great closet staple. I got my leggings from Carbon 38 but there are tons of other brands selling similar pants. Carbon 38 is technically workout clothes but these leggings are just too nice to workout in! I like these leather pants because they give you enough compression but you can still breath. I have been wearing these leggings ALL the time so it’s worth the investment.

These faux leather leggings are so easy to style! Just pick the vibe you are going for and add on from there. You can pick sneakers and a graphic tee for a more causal daily look or grab a pair of heels and blouse for a night out.

Plus these leggings are so comfortable, they are a great alternative to wearing jeans but still looking put together. I swear this leggings make any outfit look more chic!

This summer Rob and I had a wonderful time going to Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in Washington state.  It was so relaxing and great to get out of town. I found this fun dress at Target for only $50! I just thought it was so fun and bright I knew I had to wear it to the winery.

Not only was the wine delicious but Chateau Ste. Michelle did such a great job social distancing and still providing such a fun great experience. We did a wine tasting of all white wines and I even found a riesling that I totally loved! I’m typically not a huge Riesling drinker because it’s sweet. The Ste. Michelle Erocia is so perfect for the summer and isn’t sweet, I highlight recommend you give it a try. Finally, we were lucky the resident peacock came out to join us for some photo fun!

Last week we were so lucky to get to travel to Washington state and have a mini-vacation this summer. While in Washington we went to Woodinville to visit some of their wineries, which are so cute!

Wine tastings are one of my favorite vacation activities and we try to find new wineries in every place we travel too.  So today I’m sharing 5 outfits that you can wear to your next wine tasting. Some outfits are casual and comfy to glam and girly!

Easter is just around the corner! I’m very excited because this year my sister and her husband are going to come to Arizona for Easter, ( they live in D.C.). We are going to go to some of the local resorts in Scottsdale to have a fun relaxing weekend plus family time for Easter. I got this dress on Amazon for only $36 plus it comes in 3 different colors ( light pink, yellow and light blue, all perfect for Easter or spring). I love this dress from Amazon, it’s got pretty lace and is so flirty.  While Rob and I don’t have kids, Rob has a 7-year-old nephew so we do an Easter egg hunt and lots of candy.

The Best Part of Blogging!

If you are thinking about starting a blog, you totally should! I have been blogging consistently for a year now and I love it. Personally, for me blogging is my creative outlet, I get to create content and tell my story in fact, any story I want.

Why You Should Start a Blog This Year!

Why I love blogging

If you don’t know my day job is I’m a casting director at Good Faith Casting in Arizona and LA. A casting director’s job is to find the right talent for auditions and present the best actors to the director or client. What most people don’t know is that casting directors don’t get the final say on who should be cast. While I love casting I don’t get to make those creative decisions and that was a big reason why I wanted to create my own blog.

Like I said blogging became my creative outlet. It was something that I could do and control, yes I know I’m totally a control freak and probably why I could never be an actor! Blogging is more than taking pretty photos, it’s about telling a story. That story can be used to help others or just a place to vent.

Also blogging is a great way to meet new people and make new friendships. I think we can all agree as an adult making friends is so hard so it’s nice that the blogging community has been really welcoming to me.

Finally, the best part of blogging is you can blog ANYWHERE. Not many jobs or hobbies allow this kind of flexibility. I have had some great collaborations while I travel too. I am able to pitch to companies all across the US, which is really exciting.

Blogging is what you make of it. If you put in the work you can really grow your blog fast or it can be the escape people are looking for. Again if you have ever thought of starting a blog or youtube channel, just start! I really wish I had started sooner, not only is it fun but you make friends and have a creative outlet.
