Happy Friday, everyone!
I’ll make this short and sweet because i’ve got to run out the door for a meeting! I just got back from a week in Colorado and it was nothing short of perfect. My brother married the love of his life on the top of Aspen Mountain, and I gained a sister, it was an absolute dream!
Happy Saturday everyone!! It feels so good to be back in Colorado for a week! Every time I come back I am in awe of how incredibly beautiful it is here. Everything is so lush and green. The mountains seem to get higher and the trees more vibrant, or maybe I’m such starting to appreciate it even more now that I’m gone! It feels ah-mazing to escape foggy San Francisco for a week of sun! We are up in Aspen for all of the wedding festivities for my brothers wedding this weekend! So make sure to follow along on SnapChat: thecityblonde
I’ve been dying to share this look with you guys! I couldn’t be more obsessed with every little detail in it. For example THIS. SKIRT. I got it from Raelynn’s Boutique and it makes all of my skirt dreams come true. It is ultra girly with an exaggerated a-line silhouette, and cinches in at the waist to give you the tiniest waist known to man. AND it has the prettiest big bow on the back. I couldn’t be more in love with it.. if you couldn’t tell! It is perfect for date night and can be paired with different tops for different outfit vibes.
I paired the skirt with this show-stopping bodysuit from Windsor. Unfortunately it is from last season, but they have the sleeveless version here. I completed the look with a black velvet clutch and matching black velvet block heels.
Hope you are all having a great week!!

Good morning from Colorado!
It feels so good to be back in my hometown for a couple of days before heading up to Aspen for my brother’s beautiful mountain wedding. This is a wedding I have been looking forward to for years, and I feel so fortunate to be gaining such a stunning, intelligent, kind and loving sister! I get to see family that lives all over the country, whom I haven’t seen in years, and get to celebrate such a genuine relationship all week long. I honestly don’t think I could be any happier than I am today!
Now let’s get down to business. Weddings bring EVERYONE together. Friends and family that you haven’t seen in years, and there are events on top of events. If you’re anything like me then you’re freaking out about what to wear. Is it dressy? Casual? I like to have a bunch of classic options on deck that are effortlessly chic for all occasions. Insert this blush pink bodycon dress from HER Boutique (it comes in white, too!). It is a staple in my closet. I love that it can be glammed up with a pair of statement heels, but it doesn’t look over the top or like you’re trying to impress all of these people you haven’t seen in forever (even though you probably are). I also love that it can be worn casual with some flats and a top knot. I’m all about versatility when it comes to choosing my outfits for vacation, especially for wedding events.
Well, I’m off to enjoy the day with friends and family in Denver! I hope you are all having a week as fabulous as you are!

Good morning everyone!!
Happy Saturday! Today is all about achieving that semi-casual, semi-dressy look. Let’s get real, even my casual looks aren’t very casual. I LOVE getting dressed up more than just about anything, and I love finding certain clothing items that can be both dressed up and down. For example, I literally DIE FOR this cold-shoulder top from HER. Boutique. It has my top 3 favorite clothing attributes at the moment:
black ✔︎
lace ✔︎
bell sleeves ✔︎
The lace is so delicate and and looks so beautiful when light shines through it. I paired it with flare jeans, a floppy hat and wooden heels for a a more casual look. I’ve also made it into a dress by wearing it with just a tight black dress underneath and some ankle strap heels. Like I said, I LOVE clothing items that can be made casual and dressy! Plus this top is only $56!!! Looks so much more expensive, right?
I’ve been wearing this floppy hat with everything lately. It’s the perfect shade for my summer wardrobe and has the cutest braided band around the rim. I also love that I can fold it up and throw it in my purse for travel and it will keep it’s shape, which is super ideal for summer travels!
The top and hat are both from HER. Boutique. I just recently discovered them and have been hitting some serious gold mines. They have the basics, but also have knock-out pieces like this top. Plus, everything is insanely reasonably priced. So I can justify buying 1 or 2 or 5 things…. every week. Haha the addiction is real!
I hope you all have a fabulous day! Grab a mimosa, kick back and enjoy this beautiful Summer day! & make sure to check back in tomorrow for a brand new video tutorial that features the most life-changing hair styling tool you’ve ever seen.
Life. Changing.
See you then!
