I was pleasantly surprised by how many amazing local shops there are in Phoenix! My parents retired in the Phoenix metro several years ago but we hadn’t gotten to explore in the city during any of my visits. So on this year’s trip, I wanted to get a taste of the local scene in Phoenix. In today’s post, I’m sharing 5 unique local shops in Phoenix! I’ll be sharing more guides soon, so be sure to check back.
While visiting my parents who retired in the Phoenix metro area in April, I was able to visit a lot of super cute coffee shops, restaurants, and cafes! I thought I would share the spots I visited for others who may be planning a trip to Phoenix or even moving there. Trust me, these spots are super fun and have amazing aesthetics! I hope this post is helpful for all of my foodie/coffee/interior lovers. Be sure to check back for my other upcoming Phoenix guides!
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!
It’s been one long(ggg) and very cold winter here in Pittsburgh this year! The weather has been all over the place… some days I need just a few layers and others I’m clinging to my wools. I’m still wearing leggings under my go-to Levi’s most days! The outfits I’m sharing in this post have been worn on repeat the past several weeks. A lot of these pieces have been thrifted or in my closet forever! Hopefully this post will give you some outfit inspiration. I’m linking the pieces to these looks and similar pieces below each outfit!
I thought I would share this look from a coffee date with my fiance Schyler last week! We grabbed my favorite drink, an iced oat milk vanilla latte, from my favorite Pittsburgh coffee shop, KLVN Coffee Lab. I loved this casual outfit for a day of exploring our neighborhood. It has a bit of a masculine look to it, especially with this mens vintage leather Averix jacket that my dad bought me at an antique store near Portland, OR. I paired it with my classic black Doc Martens, a vintage band tee, and my comfiest Levi jeans. My worn in baseball cap completes the look!
We just celebrated Indio’s 3rd birthday a few days ago! It’s always a busy time because a few days after Indio’s birthday is our anniversary. We laughed and cried while looking at Indio’s birthday photos over the years and old photos of him when he was a puppy. I can’t believe how fast the time has flown, it’s so crazy! Being his dog mommy has definitely been challenging at times, but very rewarding.
There’s something about a classic trench coat that just hits different! I think it’s Parisian chic, European feel of it. I always feel like I could be walking the streets of London or Paris in an outfit just like this. That’s why it was the perfect outfit to wear for a day of exploring the beautiful university district here in Pittsburgh with my fiance. The architecture there is just stunning and very European which definitely complemented my look 😉
I saw the cutest boho tabletop garland at Target the other day for over $20 and I realized I could easily DIY a version myself! I have seen these everywhere lately, they are so cute and you can style them so many ways. I’m sharing an easy tutorial on how I made mine!
