What are some things you love to do when the weather finally is a little warm? I personally love to walk the local trails and go to parks in my county and have a picnic!

Black Zip-Up: New Constitution | Jean Jacket: Levis | Green Scarf: Pacsun These photos are from when it previously snowed but seeing as it's snowing AGAIN it seemed fitting to finally post these. Trust me, I love snow-it's beautiful, fun, a good excuse to stay inside, be lazy, and drink hot chocolate.. But this late in the game? I'm ready for some warmer weather. My tank tops, shorts, and sandals are practically screaming my name, begging to be worn to the beach.

So if you haven't noticed, I've been absent from Palm Trees and Taxis for about two months. It doesn't really sound that long of a time and you may not even care, but this blog is important to me. The friends I've connected to, the memories I've shared, the companies I work with, the clothes, the photoshoots, the countless hours of editing and typing and then retyping because I lost everything I worked on... This blog is a piece of me and my life. So why did I stop blogging...
This little domain on the internet is like my personal fashion diary- the detailed documentation of my fashion evolution: what I'm obsessing over, the trends to look forward to, entire lookbooks focused on one simple idea. I am in love with fashion, there's no doubt about that. But as for blogging, I found myself feeling like it was a chore rather than a hobby. Oh I need new content, my followers are bored, I need a theme on Instagram or people won't follow me, I need to schedule a photoshoot for next week, I need to send emails, get back in touch with that one company, be active on twitter and facebook and Instagram, wait, did I ever publish that one post? NO! The entire document is gone! I know, I sound ridiculous and that whole sentence probably gave you some anxiety. I don't want this to sound like a cry for attention, by no means should blogging of all things be something to pity! But in that two months, I realized I lost the reason why I started blogging in the first place: I lost myself-trying to be some professional picture perfect blogger. And so if I was going to find myself and why I loved blogging, I would need a break. So for two months I've done some Instagram posts here and there, emailed my go-to companies, and stayed behind the scenes. I still feel the stress of it all. I still feel myself trying to fit in this perfect little blogger box so strangers will like the blog and follow me. But tonight, I found myself exploring the blog of one of my friends Annabel. Just by looking through her most recent posts did I realize how much I am not being myself on here. She had free spirit beautiful photos for spring, a fun video of her and her friends in LA, a post about her home Australia and what she misses there... In just 10 minutes I felt like I really had this incite on who Annabel is! She was so open about who she is that I felt like we became best friends in just 10 minutes. That's amazing. That is blogging with love: being free and open to express who you are. So, ever so slowly, I will be easing back into this whole shabang. And I'm going to change some things: there might not be as many photos, there might be an introduction of videos, I might talk a whole lot more on some super random topics... But nonetheless I am going to be me. I want you to feel loved here at Palm Trees and Taxis - to be the place you can go to at the end of the day. I want you to feel like if you saw me on the street you could come up to me as if you're an old friend. So stick around a little longer, I hope you can really get to know me this year. Sincerely, your friend, Claire "Sophisticated Urban Wear with a Tailored Fit"
I've been in need of a simple black fitted zip up hoodie for... Ever since I fell in love with the one my sister has from Lululemon. But of course, college kid chasin their dreams here-I can't afford that. Thankfully!
