Splendid Sundance

Ready for a cliche? Sometimes I forget how beautiful Utah actually is. I definitely see the mountains every single day, but it’s usually rushing out the door to work or to make some appointment. One of our all-time favorite activities is exploring around Sundance with our active pup. This past weekend was no different. It was wonderful! It was partly cloudy and we only required sweatshirts. We meandered around and threw snowballs in the air for Bella to catch. I wish we could do this all day every day.

The Birthday Wish List

My birthday is coming up next week and I often present my family with a detailed wish list. There’s usually some sort of live creature on the list, so I know they don’t take it too seriously, but it’s always nice to have a wish list prepared just in case, right? The spring catalogs have been arriving nearly daily, so I had lots of ideas and new loves. I’m starting to get hopeful about the warm weather and we’re planning our summer vacations. When planning trips, I tend to develop terribly romantic notions (evening walks on cobblestone streets, dips in the Mediterranean Sea, browsing foreign museums in newly purchased espadrilles…you know), so I plan my wardrobe purchases accordingly. Every year, I just long to be browsing on Calle Serrano, purchasing books along the Seine or people watching in Roman piazzas. Although it doesn’t happen every year, it’s wonderful to imagine! I highly suggest it.  

Black & White

Skirt | Wallet | Watch | Nail Polish | Phone case (similar)

I genuinely can’t sing enough praises about this skirt from Express. It’s a stretchy, ultra-soft knit and is utterly comfortable. Paired with pumps and a structured top, it’s the perfect piece for the office. Once I get home, I toss on a slouchy sweater and wedges and it is a dream in which to run errands. See? I could go on for days about it—the silhouette, the fabric. Magnificent and highly recommended.

I’ve been gravitating toward black and white outfits lately (probably because it’s considerably more flattering than other options). Thoughts on black and white? Love or hate?

Chelsea + Andy Wedding

My husband’s little sister was married over the weekend and we were so delighted to be there. The ceremony was beautiful and so special. Although there were some pretty threatening clouds overhead, there were only a few droplets here and there throughout the family pictures. Once we were safely inside for the luncheon, it began raining! How’s that for lucky?!
It was a spectacular day and it was fun to reminisce about our own wedding day at the same location. We’re so very happy for you guys! Congratulations—we love you!
