7 Magic Mountains

Las Vegas, CA

Our first stop of the Utah trip was the second most Instagrammable place in Nevada (next to the Las Vegas strip)--the 7 Magic Mountains! It is about 20 minutes before reaching Las Vegas. It's an art installation with GIANT neon boulders stacked on top of each other. Pretty darn cool if you ask me. I thought it would be appropriate if I wore my neon poncho from Pitusa since the colors are exactly the same! Check out my other post from this trip in Zion National Park! Outfit Details: Pitusa Poncho c/o,[...]

Pedego La Quinta

La Quinta, CA

Back in January when my friends and I had a desert weekend getaway, we visited La Quinta to check out Pedego Electric Bikes. Pedego has locations all over the country where you can rent electric bikes by the hour or for the day. I love these bikes because you can actually pedal and get some exercise, or you can just use the motor and cruise around without breaking a sweat (which is what I did most of the time)! ;) The owner, Bryan, gave us a little backstory about him & opening his Pedego location 2 years ago as of March 15th. After playing[...]

A Fall Coffee Bar

Last week I created this adorable fall coffee bar using items from Marshalls! I made something similar couple years ago (see the post here), but I love this one so much more! I shared a picture of this on Instagram this morning and got such a great response, so I decided to make a whole post about it as well! I started giving an old wooden cart that was in our kitchen for YEARS a little makeover just by giving it a coat of glossy white paint. I then headed to Marshalls to find some fall decor, coffee mugs, and coffee accessories. I got a little carried away wh[...]

The Three Most Instagram Worthy Places in Palm Springs

Palm Springs, CA

Last month I went on a little weekend birthday trip with a few girlfriends and we ended the weekend by spending our last couple hours in Palm Springs. It's such a fun place with so many photographic & Instagram worthy places, so it was a must on my checklist for while we were out in the desert! We first stopped by the Parker Palm Springs Hotel which is famous for its geometric white walls and bright orange door at the entrance. This wall is super famous on Instagram and makes for a great backdrop for outfit photos! The whole hotel is definitely vintage-i[...]

UncommonGoods at Home

National Parks Sticker Map, Shibori Table Runner I was just asked by someone last night, "What would you call your style?" My answer was kind of long and complicated, but I told him how I used to love pink and gold and glitter and polka dots and all this girly stuff, but not so much anymore. Over the past year, I've moved away from that girly glam style and have adopted a more natural & somewhat boho look, not just in the clothes I wear, but with how I decorate my home (bedroom) as well. I believe this has to do with my newfound love for travel and expl[...]
