      Hello & happy Tuesday my little fashionistas! I promised you some excitement this week on the blog & I will not disappoint! There shall be a post to look forward to daily.
      If you've ever gone on vacation you know that after all the planning is finished, it's time to pack your bags & head out! For most, this leads to the never ending question of 'what to wear.' (Although this happens to me on a daily basis, that's a different story haha.). My besties & I may originally all hail from the ole' Southwest, but we now reside all over the country. Of course, wherever it may be that we currently call our homes has a lot to do with our attire. A trend is very weather-based. But that's not all! Cultures, backgrounds, ethnicities, pop culture & art are all players in the fashion world. Thus, the trends of the season that we have come to love vary not only from season-to-season, but from coast-to-coast. With the help of some of my favorite lovely ladies, I've put together a week long blog on what's trending around the country this time of year! Whether you're headed to the west coast, southwest or back east-I've got ya covered!
       For my 1st guest of the week, I'd like to introduce you to my dear friend Haley who resides in Portland, Oregon! Haley, aka Hales is a newly engaged lady whose wedding we are all dying in anticipation for! . Her personal style? It is trendy, fun & hippie chic without a doubt. An avid kayaker, skier, swimmer, hiker...the list of this pretty lady's activities is endless. I would have to say that Portland is quite possibly one of the most perfect places for her to reside. Very hipster, down to earth & an outdoor adventurist, Ms. Haley's personality shines through her style. She typically has a cross-body bag, which is a great hands-free option for a lady on the go! And, she always has a pair of sturdy gorgeous boots for that Portland weather & ready for an adventure. (Getting jealous yet?) Because what could be more PDX than a great pair of leather boots? Well, maybe an umbrella. Enjoy the photos taken by her fiancé professional photographer Matt Wagoner (bicycle also built by him as part of his proposal to her). What romance! (sigh).  Be sure to check back tomorrow for my next guest!
