Had a simple navy moment this last Saturday with @kennydawn! I can not even express my love for that gal. We have way too much fun together. She convinced Dom to hop in at the end and he miraculously agreed and just so happened to be wearing navy. Haha. Too perf.
HAIR: BELLAMI (you can use code kellypacker at checkout for $$ off!)
Still counting down the days until LA... Stay tuned for some beach realness hour.

Namaste to all you beautiful souls! Yesterday I had the pleasure of teaming up with the most adorable power couple on the planet. Meet the babe Audrey (@audrinoo) and her cute BF/Photographer Zach French (@zachfrenchphotography) . They were so sweet to invite me to their studio to c r e a t e a few different looks. Their energy was so kind and made me feel so welcome :) Audrey is just the cutest little thing (with the best hair and make up I might add) not to mention MAJOR RING ENVY. You can check out her blog here. Zach's photography here. MY INSANE jewels are BCP Jewelery and you can check them out here. I have had so much fun styling her jewelry, each piece is like a work of art and carries so much space within it.
I am literally COUNTING DOWN the days until Dom's Spring Break. We are off to Venice Beach for a week and I could truly not be more excited... It's all I think about and I'm not even kidding. The idea of vacay is giving me LIFE. Woot. Hope you all had some good full moon vibes last night XOXO

Good morning! The weather here in SLC, UT has been wild. Yesterday morning Kenny Dawn (@kennydawn) and I had plans to go shoot and I had thee cutest spring looks ready. I was in Birks and all. Then 9:30am rolls around and BAM. SNOW. We have been having 60 degree weather! What the... So we had quick change of plans and I thought it was the perfect opportunity for a sporty, laid back look with the CUTEST fitted sweats from Wish You Were Northwest. They are such a cool brand promoting all things adventure, wanderlust, coffee, and mountains. Pretty much everything we love around here. Dress these sweats up or down they are sooooo comfy and the fit is so cute. You can check out the rest of their stuff HERE.
One quick thought I had this morning that I wanted to share. A compassionate mind is never an angry mind. We can recalibrate our brains to having our first reaction be that of compassion- the rest of which will fall into place. Your response will always be from a place of love and understanding. Even that person that cut you off last night when you were already running 10 minutes late. Have compassion to even those who criticize you. Every being is vibrating at their own rate and the development of their own consciousness. Have a MIND of compassion. The heart is always compassionate. Most of us let our minds do all the thinking, when really they are just thoughts. If our first thought is to get mad, we naturally create anger. Even if that person in the car who cut you off doesn't know it, you are still sending that energy out into the universe. Lets change that! The thoughts you create do matter. And the first step is just observing them. Don't judge them or get down on yourself if you do find yourself having these thoughts, they are only normal! Just observe them. Put down the beat up stick. Accept yourself and your thoughts. And that is the first step- awareness. Once you become aware of your thoughts and your reactions, you are able to see the bigger picture. And with time and intention you can change those initial thoughts and reactions. If you can train your brain's first reaction to be compassion, truly the rest of the cyle that follows will change. You will not only feel the change in your own sense of being but in the senses of all surrounds you. CHOOSE to live a more joyous life. The universe is more playful than you think;)

So excited to share our collaboration with PANDEIA WATCHES! They are handmade sun dial watches pushing you to "dial in" and follow your inner compass. Can you see why I like them?! I not only am obsessed with the esthetic of the watches but I love what the company stands for. Dominick, Camila and I had a blast shooting these photos with Cami's heavy duty outdoor speakers and good tunage. It's the only way to shoot really.... Here's a look into their new lookbook called CROSSROADS. You can shop and check out more here! And you can spy more Camila's incredible photo work here.
A lot has been on my mind lately and I plan on divulging in a post real soon:) I have just been so busy! Coming soon. XO

Happy FRIDAY! Plus it's Valentines Day weekend! Here is another basics look that I can't resist. So easy and all these items are probably already in your closet. White button up, black ripped skinnies and strappy heels. Then wrap a denim jacket around your waist to edge it out and create a different more unique feel. You can shop the look below:) And you may have been noticing a few posts on my instagram with a likeittoknow.it url. Let me explain! If you go sign up at liketoknow.it , everytime you like one of my photos (or any bloggers photos) you will get an email of exactly everything that is being worn in the photo. (or similar!) It's a really great, fun and easy to tool to shop looks immediately!
Anyway, I am so dang excited for the weekend. It's been a long week and I am ready to RELAX with my baby. Dommy and I got a room tomorrow night at the Hotel Monaco in Downtown SLC (where we got engaged) and we will go eat at Omar's Rawtopia! One of my absolutely favorite joints in Sugarhouse. It's 100% raw, vegan and delicious. My sister will be watching our pups, but don't get it twisted- I wish they could come with us! I went to Lush yesterday and got some bomb bath goodies. One of the bath bombs has dried flowers that will float in the tub... romantic! Take a second and really use the opportunity to come into your heart and fill yourself with love. Create sensational amounts of love in your life. Why not? NO better time than Valentines. Get cheesy and enjoy yourself. And if you don't have a valentine, BE YOUR OWN. Do something special and romantic with YOURSELF. Sending you all so much love and good vibes this weekend. Happy Valentines! XO
