From what I learned while chatting with the local business owners, so many new trendy spots have opened up making it a great spot to visit for tourists. I got the chance to visit so many cute boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, and more and I’ve included everything in this guide for you guys.

These outfits are a combo of new and old pieces from some of my favorite sustainable brands + amazing thrifted finds. I’ve worn these casual looks for coffee shop work sessions, thrifting trips, and running errands in the city! My classic Levi’s jacket has been the perfect layering piece to throw on if the weather has ever been on the cooler side. I’ve linked exact and similar pieces for each look throughout the post!

In today’s blog post I wanted to share the outfits I wore during my trip to Phoenix in April! We spent a lot of the days during my visit driving from coffee shops to restaurants to Phoenix sights so I had to make sure my outfits were super comfortable. I always pack light by making sure the pieces I’m packing are versatile and can be easily mixed and matched. I went for a retro/casual western style for my looks and I’ve linked everything in this post!

During my Phoenix visit, I was able to meet my parent’s horse Maverick! My parents retired in the Phoenix area 3+ years ago now and board a horse nearby. Growing up on a farm in Eastern Washington, my parents had a ton of horses, so I grew up training and riding horses. Since graduating high school, I’ve always lived in a city so I don’t really get the chance to ride horses often. It was so fun getting the chance to ride again after 5+ years!

Schyler and I have been trying to catch the cherry blossoms in bloom here in Pittsburgh for weeks now! It seemed like we were waiting forever, we had such a long winter here in Pittsburgh, but we finally got to enjoy them this Easter on the Pittsburgh waterfront. The view of the Pittsburgh cityscape through the blossoms was breathtaking!
