Welcome to My Diary
The Bags You Need for Your Next Beach Vacation
With warmer weather fast approaching, I’ve started to plan our vacations for the year. We’re getting ready for our first trip to Cabo, so it inspired me to round up my favorite vacation bags that will have you set for the beach, bar, and beyond.
A Little Day Trip Getaway
There is truly nothing like taking a trip with someone special. When I think back on the trips that I have taken in the last few years, my favorite times have been spent traveling with my loved ones. Travel doesn’t always have to be an exotic trip, sometimes simple day or weekend getaways mean so much more. I tend to forget that I have so many places I can visit right here in my home state of California.
NYFW: The Recap
NYFW flew by and I couldn’t be more excited to share my favorite outfits of the week! SHOP AWAY!
Photo Diary: Newport Beach Sailing
This past month, I had the opportunity to visit Newport Beach, California, and take a sailboat out in the marina. As always, Jordan and I took a million images, and I can't possibly post that many on Instagram. So, here are just some of my favorites from that day!! All earrings are from Mignonne Gavigan's new summer collection. I will also link as many outfits from this shoot as I can, below!
Beauty Tip for the Gal on the Go
Alex and I have traveled around Europe quite a bit now and the one thing I always complain about is dry lips. Traveling in airplanes and walking all around different towns can take a toll on your lips. That is why my BIGGEST tip for when you are on the go is a lippie that MOISTURIZES!
Portugal Sneak Peek with River Island
The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind - from plane flights, to trains, to boats, and more, Portugal has been an absolute dream - but an exhausting one. I promise a full, detailed Portugal Travel Guide is in the works, but in the meantime, I wanted to give you a sneak peak at some of the fashion from the trip!
A Bucket List Plot Twist with Teavana Craft Iced Tea
Ever get an idea and you just can't stop until you make it a reality?
Well… for about a year now, I've been pinning photos of various hot air balloon festivals all over the world, and attending one quickly made its way to the TOP of my bucket list. It just seemed so magical to see so many hot air balloons up in the sky at one time, each balloon a work of art, unique in its own way.
Bonneville Salt Flats with India Earl & BHLDN
So beyond excited to share these images from our shoot with BHLDN!!! Dream come true getting to shoot in the Bonneville Salt Flats with the amazingly talented wedding photographer India Earl!
A Weekend Away in Monterey
It’s not a secret that I LOVE traveling. And it’s also not a secret that I absolutely adore HBO’s TV show “Big Little Lies” (I’ve re-watched it multiple times and read the book). So when the opportunity to travel to Monterey and visit all the major film locations from the show popp’ed up in my inbox-my suitcase basically packed it’s self for me!!!
Andaz Papagayo Travel Diary
If you’re looking for a secluded luxurious getaway, with sparkling shorelines and sun that tickles your skin with that magic “Je ne sait qoui”… it would be wise to look to the Papagayo Peninsula of Costa Rica.
International Women's Day
Who would have thought that two years ago when started my blog that it would lead me across the country to hang out with a bunch of female entrepreneurs I've never met?! Last month, @lisahomsy invited me to Hawaii for her 30th bday, and I couldn't help but say "YES," even though I knew no one but her who was going.
5 Insta-Worthy Places in Los Cabos
Quigley here! KICKING OFF 2018 with a trip to paradise, aka Los Cabos, Mexico. I've lived in California for eight years now, and I have always wanted to go to Cabo. I never realized how easy it was to find the perfect Cabo luxury home for your vacation. I've had a few friends come back from recent trips raving over their experiences… so I decided to just go ahead a book tickets!
Must-See Spots in Orange County
I moved to LA almost 8 years ago, and even after all this time, I keep making new discoveries that make me more and more in love with SoCal. The little girl inside of me who grew up in Minnesota still gets a wee bit giddy every time it hits 80 degrees on a December afternoon in the Valley. IS THIS REAL LIFE?
Bali's 12 Most Insta-Worthy Locations
Oh, Bali! You have my heart. Let’s be real, if you’ve been to Bali… you know it’s a pretty magical destination. It’s been on my bucket list for ages, and I finally got a chance to visit in September. Bali didn’t just live up to it’s reputation… it blew all of the other places I’ve ever been to out of the water. It’s the kind of place you wind up comparing to heaven on countless occasions, and fantasize about when you’re stuck in traffic.
Model Behavior in Joshua Tree
Last week, Alex and I went out to Joshua Tree with our friend Phil Chester to help him with a photography workshop. We got to model, as Phil taught tips and trick of the trade to 10 students from across the country. It was such a fun experience! I also got to play a little dress up while I was at it and try out some new goodies that I recently got from Express.
