Hiking in Style!

When its nice outside I love to hike!! 

Hiking is a favorite past time of mine... 

Its  much more fun than walking the treadmill in so many ways! 

You get fresh air,sun,and plenty of exercise!!

Fighting the elements through out the summer can be a challenge though.

During my hike I like to bring a light weight jacket for when it gets cold.

I also bring a bag with essentials like water,a map,and my wallet and phone of course.

Sun protection is important as well!!

Hiking out doors you are more prone to sun burn.

I like to invent creative and stylish ways to avoid the sun rays.

My floppy hat comes in handy as does my vintage faux fur lined denim jacket.

It serves 2 purposes.. Its warm and it protects me from the sun.

This is one of my favorite looks I've put together!

I love the rugged denim look about it.

In this cute outfit I'm ready to explore the world!

What is it about sundresses that makes us want 20 or 30 of them in our closets?? 

I can't say that I'm not guilty of having one too many dresses for summer. 

The best feeling is to change out of those confining jeans and jackets and to put on a loose dress. 

During my trip to California I was always hanging on the rocks by the ocean.

 I wore this gorgeous boho dress a couple times while being out there.

 Its a vintage 70s paisley floral dress. 

I love the simplicity of the style. 

You'd never think it was a vintage dress! 

The print is incredible!

 Its all jewel tones, and is an all over print. 

It has a wide skirt with thin spaghetti straps.

 This is a fantastic day to night dress.

 You can wear it all day then at night put on heels and a belt to make it more evening. 

Only 4 or 5 months to go till summer time is back.

I can't wait!!

My Everyday Look

During the dog days of summer there are days when I just want to kick back and be comfortable. 

When I go to work I throw my hair up in a messy bun, and dress in very loose clothes.. 

I do a ton of work at the computer for a living, mostly with photography…

 It takes hours to edit photos but I love it!!! 

For a job where you sit for hours I find that big loose dresses always work the best!!! 

I found this incredible embroidered boho dress at shabbybabe. Its awesome!! 

It has a beautiful ruffled hem, and embroidered abstract floral designs. 

I accessorized it with my favorite bag! 

I bought this leather backpack from

 The leather store on Etsy and Its one of the most beautiful purses I've ever owned!! 

It has lots of room for almost anything, and its high quality leather.

I can fit my I pad,lunch,water bottles, and a makeup bag all in this one backpack.

 The best part is,is that its a light brown color that matches anything! 

To finish up this look I threw on my new pair of Gladiator sandals! 

I bought these gladiator sandals off of Amazon.com 

They fit perfectly!

 I know with gladiator sandals if the straps aren't tight enough it can become a problem. 

 The straps on these sandals are adjustable 

so you can customize the fit to whatever your needs are.  

This is pretty much how I dress for work everyday!

 Its a fast, easy, and very stylish everyday look!
