Hey everyone! I know I promised I would be better about posting, but life and all of its exciting adventures kind of got in the way for a bit! However, I just went on a wonderful trip to Utah this past weekend, and I couldn't not blog about it.
I went up for my bestie Stephanie's birthday, and to experience Fall in all its glory since we don't exactly have real seasons in California. Never thought I would get tired of sunshine all the time!
There are so many things I ADORE about Utah, but the best thing has to be all of the adventure locations! While I was there, I of course had to take a little journey to my favorite adventure spot of all time- the Alpine Loop! For those of you who have never been there before, it's this beautiful, winding road up the Provo canyon, just past Sundance Resort.

I love the outdoors, so when I lived in Provo, I tried to be outside as much as possible. And I don't know about you, but nothing says "adventure" like going for a drive up a canyon!
For my adventuring outfit, I chose something that would be cute but also functional. You guys know how much I love functional outfits ;) The floral, babydoll-style dress gave me a feminine flair, and the boots really pulled the outfit together for a total autumn look. Not only that, but they made it so easy to walk around and climb on that log! My poor photographer was wearing flip flops...yikes! (Note to readers: flip flops are NOT good adventure footwear...unless you're adventuring at the beach!)
I know what you're thinking... "Floral?! What happened to Heather's signature neutral colors style?!" A little advice for my wonderful readers: sometimes, you have to be a little crazy and go outside your comfort zone. Take risks and be bold! :)
My adventure look would not have been complete without my absolute FAVORITE accessory- sunnies!
I loved how the brown of my boots complemented the brown in my sunnies.
And last but certainly not least, we can't forget about the hair! As you all know, I love the top knot. I am constantly talking about it in my posts! But this time I wanted to go with something a little different, because isn't that what adventure is all about?! I decided to try the half-up, half-down top knot this time, which I think really added to the overall feel of this look.
Well, that's all I have for today everyone! I hope this post inspired you to go on your own adventures! Can't wait to tell you all about my next one...maybe I'll try out a different canyon drive this time! ;)
