hope ave part ii

i'm late to the party posting (like always) but here's another shoot i did for hope avenue featuring the blonde beauty chandler roberson from days of chandler. she was an absolute doll to work with and we're both totally in love with the new american fork store.

you can check out chandler's blog here for her own review and styling tips for these two cute looks. and as always, check my photography tab for the full shoot! 

labels i'm loving: hope ave

so i got the awesome opportunity to be one of a few bloggers able to take a first look at the new hope avenue location in american fork, and let me tell you... i'm in love. i'm not just saying that because i'm writing a blogpost about it. i've been given a lot of free clothes and very seldom do i love them enough to feel inspired to write about them. hope ave felt like the epitome of me from the second i walked in. a little bit of hippie and a little bit of preppy and a little bit of casual. i've never been able to pin my own style, but i don't think i've ever  brought so many things into a dressing room at once as i did when i went to hope ave the first time (and second time. and probably soon to be a third time)

their style is a little bit free people and a little bit brandy melville. aka my two favorite places on earth. they have awesome brands like promesa and ginger g, which means supersoft fabric (my weakness), and there were also lots of striped tees (my other weakness) and cute cardigans (okay, one more weakness, needless to say i was a happy camper.) the store was decorated like a dream. casual hippie vibes and just the right size for the amount of product. i loved the color schemes they had and the wide variety of styles- literally something for everyone. plus they're affordable, but still amazing quality, which is so hard to find. 

the girls working there were so adorable and stylish and friendly. they learned my name right away and were so attentive and helpful, but not pushy like a lot of salespeople tend to be (trust me i know, i've been one before.) 

i'll shut up now, and let these looks do the talking. you can check out my photography tab for the full shoots. hope you fall in love like I did!

labels i'm loving: albion fit

Here's a shoutout to all my athletic (and not) babes! How hard is it to find amazingly comfortable, breathable athletic wear that's still actually flattering and cute? Real hard, right? Well look no further because I found your new best friend. Albion Fit is a Salt Lake based athletic boutique with high-quality, high-cuteness athletic wear and swimsuits(their swim is also amazing). 

  

Their line is filled with fun colors, flattering fits, and amazingly soft, breathable fabric!

My new never-take-it-off item happens to be the Go Long Crew. It's soft, comfortable, stretchy and the fabric feels like a minty blue kitten. It comes in a variety of beautiful, feminine colors and it is absolutely perfect for yoga, dance, running... Whatever you're into! It's lightweight enough for the spring but the soft long-sleeves make it versatile for running on chilly mornings. Plus, it has thumb-holes. That's the selling point for me right there. I love thumb-holes.

Now here's the best part, I'm doing a GIVEAWAY of not one, but two of these amazing crew necks (for you and a friend) right this second on my instagram page. Head over and check out the super simple entry details. Trust me. Weather you're rock climbing in the canyon or doing dancing in a secret garden like me, or sitting on your couch watching netflix and drinking tea (also like me) this crew is an essential for your closet! Check it out!
