My Style: January Favorites

Ever have one of those days when everything seems to come together? For this styling, I selected some of my favorite pieces from some of my favorite sponsors and couldn't have been happier with the result. From the most comfortable, quality leather boots by Guess to the oh-so-perfectly-torn jeans by Blue Faith Denim, I'm loving this indie look. I've been looking for denim with the knees torn out for awhile and along came these little beauties. With Valentine's Day around the corner, this sheer, feminine top by Yoyo Melody is a perfect day or night addition; I especially love the high-low ruffle design. Next, you cannot beat a cozy sweater with a retro styling; if you haven't experienced Kersh clothing, you must check them out. For the ultimate go-to tote, this caramel color bag by Under One Sky is one of my favorites. To top it off, I selected a feather-banded panama hat.

Now, let's talk tech accessories.  I was asked to select a pair of earbuds or headphones by the Swedish company Happy Plugs.  I selected the prettiest, best fitting, awesome sounding, rose gold, in-ear headphones.  In addition, I selected a matching cellphone case that I constantly get compliments on.  I totally recommend this pretty duo for sound, comfort, and style.

Besides the clothes, some of you are asking more about my days at NAU. What can I say?  I'm a frantic university student who is working hard to maintain a 4.0 GPA, to keep my creative side happy through my blogging, and to stay healthy physically and emotionally. I do hope to find more time to relax--hiking through the woods helps, but I'm looking forward to warmer spring weather. 

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you!  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Furever Love

One of my favorite things about cold weather is wearing layers.  Sweaters, vests, coats, jeans, boots, and hats are all musts to survive the winter chill.  Fur vests are big this season whether ombré, chevron, checkered, or dip dyed. This dip-dyed, faux fur is stunning and the neutral coloring goes with everything. For another layer of warmth, I selected this cozy sweater with fringe detail on the sleeves.  This is the first time I've worn Blue Faith Denim, and I love these torn, black skinny jeans--fit like a glove with just enough stretch for comfort.  The boots are perfect with detail for interest and heels to elongate the look.  Of course, I adore fringe purses and wide-brimmed hats; may boho never go out of style :)

This shoot was taken in the calm right before the storm.  It was a gloomy day at Watson Lake, and, ever since, we've been having snow storms off and on.  Although I love warm weather, I have to admit, snow is beautiful; I look forward to taking photos of the winter wonderland that northern Arizona has become and sharing them with you!  Xoxo, Shelly

Arizona Girl x Adidas NEO Winter Lookbook

Warm jackets, great friends, and beautiful locations make for a perfect winter's day. When adidas neo contacted me to select a jacket and a friend to select a jacket to create a winter lookbook, I was thrilled.  I selected the adidas neo Green Long Jacket  and my friend Regan selected the adidas neo Navy Padded Parka.  We each styled the jackets two different ways and had a blast getting friends together to create the lookbook.  (Honestly, we've been wearing our jackets nonstop now that the weather is freezing and they are our new favorites.)  I really do love the adidas neo line of clothing, and I love spending a day with wonderful friends!  Xoxo, Shelly

Thank you so much to my friends for working with me on this project!  Thank you Madeleine Schaffner for photographing, Robert Upchurch for videotaping, Regan Norton for styling & modeling, and Marvin & Luke for modeling!
