Boho Chic & 10 Things About Me

Dress: Flynn Skye Bella Maxi (and here) | Poncho Sweater: Chaser Campfire Knit Fringed Kimono | Hat: Brixton Mayfield

Hi all! Boooo, I know it’s Monday which is never ideal… but I seriously can’t complain with The Bachelor on tonight! Today I am sharing another one of my favorite looks from my recent collaboration with OC Style Report for their blogger of the month feature. This outfit is great inspiration for transitioning your outfit from winter to spring. The floral dress has spring written all over it, but the combination of the chunky knit poncho and over the knee boots balances the look and makes it winter-worthy (at least here in the O.C. haha).

In the spirit of the new year I thought it would be fun to share 10 Things About Me. And in no particular order, here they are:

1. I am a major Howard Stern fan. I have been listening to him for over 10 years now, and just turning it on for my morning drive makes the start to my day so much better. Sometimes it can get a little crazy, but for the most part I just like when he talks about his life and day or interviews celebrity guests.
2. Totally OBSESSED with reading. Like I literally want to be buried with my books. I finish maybe 2-3 books a week, and I mostly do all my reading on my Kindle (thank you William). As far as genres go I am open to almost anything, however I definitely prefer fiction over non-fiction. I was even on a 2-3 years bender reading young adult paranormal nonfiction. Luckily I have moved on from vampires and end of the world stories. Unless you’ve heard of a good one?? haha
3. Prefer bubble baths over showers. Most nights I usually take a bath instead of a shower. I only shower if I absolutely have to wash my hair (never good idea to wash your hair in the tub… especially if you have hair extensions).
4. I am a stepmother. I don’t meet a lot of step-parents but I know there must be a lot of us out there. I have the most amazing stepdaughter Lily who is 9. I have been in her life since before she was 3 so it was a pretty easy transition for us. It helps that she is literally the kindest (and cutest) girl ever.
5. A little OCD. But only with certain things. Like light switches in a row have to be all the same (flicked up or down) and never any seconds left on the microwave, oh! I hate trash in wastebaskets. All of my trashcans are usually empty. This is making me sound a little Hannah from Girls so I will stop here.
6. Prefer handbags over jewelry all day, any day.
7. While I can be a social butterfly, it’s not my true nature. I am one of those people that likes to be alone. In fact, I NEED my alone time (to take my bubble baths and read my kindle).
8. My favorite foods are all kid foods- bean & cheese burritos, pizza, sandwiches & chips but I make myself eat pretty people food most of the time.
9. I used to be really into hot yoga- like did it almost every day and was even contemplating going to training to be a yoga instructor. I really need to get my butt back into yoga ASAP.
10. My hair is naturally very curly and crazy. When I first met my husband, he would always tease me about my hair if I wore it au natural to work and asked if I even brushed it. Men! I swear… still picking on the ones they like just like they did when they were little.

Thanks for stopping by!
