Yup, I definitely live in the west in the middle of a desert. Real life story. If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be living in Arizona, I may have cackled directly in your face! Literally, there's a saloon a few miles away from my house. A. Saloon. 

Isn't life and where it takes you absolutely absurd?! Yes, it is but on the look...

So, apparently, the 70s called and they wanted to make a reappearance in 2015. I answered and welcomed them back with open arms. Re-introducing 70's Desert Chic.

__________________________________________________________________________________

Two days later and I'm still recovering from Birthday Weekend 2015. What did I do? Glad you asked. Nothing. Nada. Not a thing. All of thee Above.

Yeah, I really just took a moment to enjoy where I am. I went around Arizona and believe it or not discovered some new places to go and things to do. From the Peach Festival at Schnepf Farms to the celebratory brunch at the Phoenix Public Market Cafe, everything was brand new to me!

For the birthday brunch, I kept it breezy, cute and casual in this H&M striped shirt and Brand of Gypsies shorts from Nordstrom. However, my favorite piece from this look is the Indalo Sling Bag that I picked up Cape Town, South Africa. To think that I was going to leave it behind because I didn't know how I was going to pack it. I shudder at the thought.

A couple of updates and reminders for you!

Yeah, so about my hair, I'm growing it out. Please be patient with me as I experiment. Today's look featured the faux hawk. The sides were flat twisted to give the illusion of shaved sides.
