BLUE JEAN INSPIRED

dress / crop top / shorts / tie / jeans / heels / clutch / dress / booties 

I've been a little obsessed with dusty blue hues.  If you follow on instagram (@shannonkirsten) you've seen a few sneak peeks lately inspired by the color.  I also started a pinterest board in honor of. 

I'm not sure what it is but I find it calming, due in part to the ocean perhaps.  I notice myself trying wear, decorate, and paint with it more often these days.  I'm in love! These are a few perfectly blue / chambray / denim pieces for summer.

FESTIVE HOLIDAY FAVORITES

these and more favorites here

A few favorite holiday pins from the past couple weeks.  Some of these images are so cozy and make me excited for cooler weather to come.  Decorating wise, we kept it simple this year.   I'm loving the geometric ornaments and advent calendars.  I plan to wrap with kraft paper, twine, and a bit of greenery. I love making handmade tags or adding some type of extra special touch on packaging.  Mismatched red plates would be so cute for holidays parties. Also, I haven't baked a bit yet...I need to find something peppermint / chocolate filled and get to work! 

WEEKEND CAMPING INSPIRATION

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

We are gearing up for our camping trip this weekend.  I'm so excited to get away from technology from a few days and spend time with Hunter and his family around a bon fire.  Although I will miss my family and our traditions, it's fun to switch up sometimes.  A much needed little vacation.  These photos are so cozy and make me super exciting to be sleeping in the chilly woods all weekend!  xox

JULY

A few images I found quite inspiring in honor of summer and the fourth...

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

Hopefully there are other people out there who are just as in shock as I am about it being July already.  Seriously, where has this year gone! I'm getting so excited for the work and travels I have planned for fall but it's always sad to me to feel like the days are going by so quickly. I just want to savor each season and waste no time in between :)  

I'm looking forward to this week and celebrating the 4th of July.  BBQ's and fireworks are the best.  Plus Hunter gets Thursday and Friday off! I'm so looking forward to relaxing which means I need to off my computer and start scrambling! 

Happy Monday xx

WEEKEND WEAR : QUIRKY CASUAL

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

Happy Friday! 

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, I think the storms and tornado warnings have passed us by already.  Praying for some good weather tomorrow while I shoot with Cami and Ashten!  The above are a few pieces I have been craving.  I think together, they make a fun quirky outfit.  Perfect for a girls weekend pool party, which I have coming up soon!

CITRUS INSPIRED

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

Lately I am inspired by the colors of citrus for summer.  I've never been one to lean towards orange and yellow (at least in my clothing choices) but there is something so funky and fresh about these images.  The perfect splash of fun for this drab Monday morning.

Happy first day day of Spring! 

It's officially time to go crazy and buy everything in floral prints.

I even threw in something for the guys...my dude wouldn't wear a floral tie but a girl can dream, right? I'm pretty sure that one piece from Anthropologie will come home to me eventually.

Happy picking!
