    Digging this hand wall hanging. (And that eye one too!)

    This dress comes in a variety of different colors (ones that would definitely look better with my hair than this one) but this color just grabbed my attention!

    These shoes! How cute would they look paired with that dress above!?

    Then top off that outfit with these earrings!

    Once again, not trying to rush away summer but this coat is excellent! Really, that whole outfit is great.

    How rad are these hand bookends!?

    Loved this stained glass moon as soon as I spotted it but my first thought was that I cannot hang anything else in my window (they’re already home to one too many rainbow makers and crystals) but then I scrolled and saw it displayed on a shelf. TOO cute!

    I have put this planter in my shopping cart so many times only to never go through with the checkout process! I already own one from the same line and absolutely love it so I don’t know what’s stopping me.

    This mushroom cardigan!

    I’ve been on a big time planter kick lately. I really like this one. The extra height would be perfect to set it apart from all my others.

    Link love…

    • I am very very into this pink lace romper!
    • Cool vintage oddity alert – this foot!!! And a little pricier but way cool – this hand!
    • I just got this cozy cardigan in the mail this week. I am so excited to be able to wear it once the weather cools down just a bit more.
    • This bra, that color ‘golden curry’ color! Yes please!
    • Weekends are for adventure and pizza.
    • Last year I thought about buying one of these super fuzzy oversized hoodies but ultimately decided because it wasn’t something I’d leave the house in I shouldn’t but I am reconsidering. They just look so comfortable! (Also, this skimpy PJ set would be so cute underneath!)
    • This just me reminding you that I have a cute little handmade shop and you should probably bookmark it, favorite it, whatever because I have an awesome update coming next week. I’m seriously so so so excited.

    Happy Friday! xoxo

    20 minutes west of Two Guns lies the ruins of the Twin Arrows Trading Post. Just like Two Guns, we’ve been making annual visits here since 2014. Somehow in all those years, I have yet to dedicate an entire post to this place (although it’s definitely shown up in its fair share of posts, like …

    by Kaylah Stroup August 7, 2019

    Throwing it back to June’s epic road trip again. No trip to Arizona for us is complete without a stop at Two Guns. I’ve written about how important this place is to me a handful of times so there’s no need to retype that but I do want to share some photos from our latest …

They even have a roll on perfume in the same scent. Gardenia and honeysuckle is seriously the best scent combo ever. This couch is …
