Summer is HERE and I can feel it in the escalating temperatures in Scottsdale and in the freedom of school finally being OUT! Last week I worked from 8am-1pm on my district’s “Units of Study”, and now am enjoying my first full week of being off work until the end of July.

Earlier this week, I grabbed coffee at Press in Scottsdale Quarter and caught up with my girl Hillary! It’s always fun being around other people who have the same hobby and love of sharing outfits and accessories. I wore my Aurora crossbody and have been so impressed by the quality, uniqueness, and simplicity of it. It fits my card wallet, lip gloss, car key, and phone… all the things I need for a few hours away from the house.

With summer comes warm-weather trends, and one I especially love is little woven crossbody bags! When Amerii reached out to me, I was so excited because I have admired the craftsmanship of their bags during a visit to their website in the past. They make it really simple to shop online and have amazing reviews, too. Once I learned that each bag is handcrafted and not mass-produced, I began to appreciate all of the styles even more.

I also have my eye on this crossbody bag. I can’t get over the beautiful details… I just love the little gold rings.

Well, next week my little sister and 6-month-old niece from Minneapolis will be in town. I’ve been looking forward to her coming for a few months now, and I can HARDLY wait to squeeze them in the biggest hug!!

Have a great rest of your week, all! XO
