My life is an ongoing adventure. I am never in one place for very long and I’m always finding new magical places. I’ve lived in Utah on and off but we have been there a year solid now and I had never been on the ski lift.

If you haven’t been to Sundance … you are missing out. Sundance is such an amazing and breathtaking place. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to be living so close to it. One crazy thing about me though is that I have never been skiing!! I live in freaking Utah and I have never been hahah. That’s my goal this winter, to learn to Skii.

What goals do you have for winter?!

My goals are

1. Get in the best shape I can…for a beach vacation in February

2. Learn to Ski

3. Keep up with the gallon water challenge

4. Read a book each month

5. Train for another half marathon

Although my life is partially glamorous …. I miss my husband so much and it’s extremely hard to be gone from him. This job has helped me to appreciate all the little things in life. I get so excited just to eat a meal with him and watch tv. When I was home…it was just a normal thing to do and now I look forward to it. Appreciate the things you would miss, if you didn’t see the people you love as much.

Who else is pumped for Christmas!!!!???? I have been running around doing my last minute shopping and I’m getting so excited. I can’t wait to spend quality time with family and drink hot chocolate.

Speaking of crazy madhouse shopping ..   I wore this cute top yesterday and got sooo many compliments/questions asking where I got it.  It has the cutest elbow pads and is as soft as a baby (kidding) but really it’s so soft.  I love that it is a high low shirt and I have been looking for a good olive shirt, so I was excited when I found olive with stripes!!!

My Sisters Closet Boutique has such a great variety of clothes and accessories. I have already started making my birthday list of all the cute stuff I have my eye on– especially there Beanies.

Sleepwear and giveaway with Thirdlove

Sleepwear and giveaway with Thirdlove

I have already talked to you all about Thirdlove bras and how obsessed I am!! In case you missed it, you can read about that here.

I’m all for comfort and throwing on my husbands shirts to sleep in but I have recently realized that investing in elegant sleepwear is the way to go. Who wouldn’t want to feel like a fabulous princess when they wake up?

I have even been brave enough to answer my front door in my pj’s, because they are so pretty! I would usually run into my room and make my husband answer the door but now I gladly will do it. 🙂

In line with how comfortable Thirdlove  bras are, their sleepwear will not disappoint! It is literally the softest/comfiest material and I love that it has a silk pocket. Don’t miss out before they are all gone. I love that they have either matching pj sets or long sleeve sleepshirts.

Their Lounge wear and Underwear packs also make for a great gift!!!

Hello Lovies,

It has been a crazy week and I have had no time to write my blog posts about our vacay!!! We official moved into our new apartment and we are SO happy. I will post pics as soon as everything is set up : )

Costa Rica 

   I love going on vacation because it’s an excuse to get some cute attire… right?!  This outfit was one of my favorites during our trip. I felt so fancy in my Miss It Girl heels and Boutique Amore  zip jacket! I don’t wear all black very often so I loved having the gold zipper to add some detail.

 I have been wanting to visit Costa Rica for a few years now, especially since my cousin has lived there for about 10 years. My husband had a few days off for thanksgiving so we decided to pack up and head to paradise. Our trip was 10 days long and we were able to see so many incredible places.

 If you decided to visit and want to explore the country ( go sight seeing) I would recommend at least a week for your stay. If you want to just lay on the beach or visit a resort a few days would be perfect.  My favorite part about Costa Rica was the fruit ….. so fresh and sweet. I’ll share a little bit about those in my next posts with some smoothie ideas.

This hotel we stayed at was called  Villas Lirio and it was divine. You literally feel like you are in the Jungle and away from civilization. We were able to hear all sorts of animals and birds as we walked around and explored. Sadly we only stayed there for one night… but it was a resonable price and an awesome environment. The best part of this hotel was the location! It is so close to the beach and great places to eat.

In my next blog post about Costa Rica, I will talk about the beach/national park we visited in Jaco and where we went to eat. Make sure to keep and eye out for it!!! Cant wait to share details and itenary from our trip.

Love,

Michaela Desiree Knight

I am ecstatic that the holidays are nearing and that it is totally okay to drink hot chocolate everyday… right?!  What’s your favorite part about the holidays? Mine has to be the music … I am the type of person that could listen to Christmas music all year long! I know … I’m nuts.

I have been loving this Aspen skirt from Downeast — it is part of their fall/winter collection and is unbelievably comfortable.  I love that it is so versatile and can be worn to work, holiday parties, or even a day on the town. (It’s basically a sweater for your legs! I’m obsessed ha)

Also how great is that forest green clutch? Sunflare has the most beautiful genuine leather products.  I got a few of the cuff bracelets to bring on my Costa Rica trip and am dying to show them off. Check out their collection Here.

Be sure to check back for more holiday outfits coming soon 🙂

Finding the perfect fit with ThirdLove 





Lace Full Coverage Bra // Lovely Lace Cheeky      C/O – ThirdLove

I have struggled the past few years trying to find a brand and bra that fits comfortably and has full coverage.  Let me tell you …. it has been rough!! I have had some shoulder and back problems and always feel like I am readjusting my straps and bra to relieve my back pain.

This is the first bra ever that I don’t even think about my back throughout the day. The straps are very supportive and the cups are super flattering and actually lay flat and look smooth under my clothes.

My favorite bra is Full Lace Coverage  and the matching panties Lovely Lace Cheeky are adorable!!! This bra has amazing coverage and is extremely soft.  I have been wearing it everyday and I even get excited to put it on in the morning 🙂
Third love has a Fit Finder to help find your perfect bra! You take a questionnaire on ThirdLove that will suggest your best fit from their 24/7 Collection. There is a bra for everyone!!!
I love that you are able to try before you buy and you can return within 30 days even after wearing and washing it?! How amazing is that?
You will initially be charged for shipping and then if you decide to keep the bra they will charge you !

It’s nice being able to try the bras in my everyday life and see what best suits me 🙂

A few other styles I am excited to try are  Strappy T-Shirt Bra, Lace Balconette Bra, and Classic T-Shirt Bra

Try it … I promise you won’t regret it 🙂

Hello lovies,

Hoping you had a great week and did some exciting things for Halloween 🙂  I was in such a rush that day and was stuck in horrible traffic that I forgot my husbands costume!! I felt so horrible … but let’s be honest, he was relieved he didn’t have to dress up again ha! 


OUTFIT DETAILS: This week I received my new tassel necklace from Zacasha and I am in love! I love how it adds so much to a simple outfit and can be worn a few different ways. I have been trying out new styles and it has been so fun to change it up a bit.

I have been thrilled that I finally found a black tunic/shirt that is flattering and fits me in all the right places. Not to mention … it’s the softest shirt EVER! It’s a high low and looks so cute paired with leggings or your favorite denim. 🙂

Fall Contrast…

Fall Contrast…

Hello Lovies, Hoping your week was as joyful as mine 🙂 Just wanted to clue you in on some awesome fall deals that I found and give you an update on our next vacation. SO I bought these velvet burgundy jeans at Costco this week and I am IN LOVE. They were only $20 and unbelievably soft!!! I want a pair in every color. Also my booties are only $32 — they are my favorite pair of shoes right now and go with everything.

Fall is coming to an end and I am so sad! I can’t believe snow will be arriving soon….             I loved being able to walk around yesterday and look at all the beautiful trees changing colors and actually enjoy what Fall feels like. Growing up in Florida, the only season you have is summer and semi-summer. I found this neat wall in Provo and HAD to stop and snap some pics.

Lately I have been preparing and researching for my upcoming trip to Cost Rica and could not be more excited. I can’t wait to try all the yummy places to eat, beaches to lay on, and fun adventures to explore. The only thing I am a little worried about is that it is rainy season — well it technically ends mid November, so we are crossing our fingers it will be over by the time we arrive. We will be flying into San Jose, and staying with my second cousin. I am tempted to take a surfing lesson while I am there!! I don’t have the best balance but I think it would be so fun. I am so happy that right as it turns cold here we will be headed to the beach. If any of you have recommendations LET ME KNOW:) ?

Thanks for reading and I’m serious about those jeans … they are amazing!!!

We had the BEST time at Cornbellys last night and wish we could have stayed a few more hours. There are so many exciting and lively things to do there. Its great because in the earlier hours there are a tons of things for kids but as the night goes on it becomes more of a teen/adult environment. At dusk it starts to get a little more spooky and there are plenty of fires (even smores pits around). We brought my friends niece and nephew so we were able to experience a bit of both environments.

We decided to get general admission and pay for smaller things as we went. I would recommended looking into the diiferent options.

You can get tickets Here and enter VALPAK1 for $3 off!!! (cheaper to go on a week day).   Age 2 and under are FREE. 

There a quite a few fright nights as well which include a few haunted houses, halloween fireworks, and activities. Dusk until dawn —-15,17,  20, 21,  22, 24, 28, 29

A few of the fun things we did 

  • Went on a hayride 
  • Went into  haunted house 
  • Duck races 
  • Air soft war 
  • Apple blaster 
  • Kids jumped on the air trampolines 
  • Played in the corn cob beach
  •  Shared a funnel cake
  • Tug of war

You can check out the rest of the activities  Here!

They also have an awesome corn maze that they change up each year. We didn’t have time to go but I am determined to go back this month and make my way through!! 

If you live in UTAH and have not been here I highly recommend it!
