La Grande Orange Grocery & Pizzeria

Hi guys!!! Happy new year!!! I hope everything is so far so good! The other day I tried a new restaurant that was so low key you could literally drive right past it! I regret never going sooner, Its called La Grande Orange and I am honestly recommending it to EVERYONE who either lives in the phoenix metropolitan area or is just passing through Arizona at all! Can you tell me whats better that pizza and lattes? I’ll wait…

I’m not being biased to the fact that I love pizza, and I’m sure most of you already know how I feel about coffee. But it was the actual quality of the food! It was probably the freshest restaurant pizza I’ve ever had and the latte was smooth and rich I regret not getting a bigger size!

The classic margherita pizza (plus pepperoni and jalapenos)

What was interesting about this spot is that it is part pizzeria, part ice cream parlor, and part…. knick knack store? I really don’t know what to call it but they have everything from pillows to books and coffee cups. Oh and they have enough of a wine selection to throw a party for an entire city! It was such a unique and strange set up but it really worked! There’s no way you could leave this place unsatisfied, there was seriously something for everyone! The only thing I regret is never getting a chance to try the ice cream parlor (I was too full to carry on). But that’ll be for another day because I will definitely be back! I hope you enjoyed!! 🙂

with love,

Chambray all day

I feel most accomplished when I put together an outfit that manages to be as comfortable as it gets and chic at the same time. I can’t think of anything that’s better than cute comfort. It seems to me that a simple chambray shirt, a pair of jeans, a few layered accessories and some lipstick never fails to deliver just that! Yesterday I went out with my girlfriends for a late lunch at popular wine bar in phoenix called Postino’s (excellent bruschetta) we took a couple photos of my outfit so I just wanted to share with you all!

Coffee & Cargos

Hey guys! I hope you had a great weekend, I know I did, but between thanksgiving and the black Friday maddness I’m exhausted.

A few days ago my good friend Maria and I went exploring downtown a bit! We had lattes at this great coffee bar called The Cartel! (the best coffee in any city is always in their downtown district no? lol)One thing that I love about hanging out in downtown phoenix is how many underrated places you can find tucked away! There are little surprises around every corner, which is exactly why we couldn’t pass up a mini photo shoot when we saw these giant murals on the walls in different alley ways.

I love the laid back vibe you get downtown which is why I felt so comfortable in these high-waisted Ralph Lauren cargo pants, to go with this long sleeve scoop neck top I got last week from Zara, I paired it all with a pair of Converse and a messy bun to really go for the tough girl or tom boy look! It just so happens that it all went together really nicely with the backdrop the city provided! I hope you enjoy! 🙂

With love,
