Purple Rain -- Nope, I Live in the Desert... Purple Dust?

Hello there!

Guys, I am in need of a change.  LunaVida is in need of a change.  And I need your help.  Pretty please? :)  I'm looking to update the look & setup of my blog, so if you know of any good designers (who aren't too expensive -- I'm on a budget here, people), could you please let me know?  I'll be eternally grateful!

Anywhoo!  Aside from itching for a new look to LunaVida, things here in Phoenix have been goin' just dandy.  Except for that it gets hot here.  Like really, really 105+ degrees-Fahrenheit-on-the-reg HOT.  But, then again, having moved from the Home of Perma-100% Humidity (aka Florida), I will take the dry desert summers any day.  That's not to say that dressing here is always easy though.  Hence why so many of my outfits [liiike the one below] are breezy and light (I say that a lot because I'd die of heat stroke if I didn't remind myself of it every morning... also, I am a drama queen, apparently).

So... do any of you guys know an amazing blog designer?  Or perhaps you yourself are the amazing blog designer that I am in need of?  I was totes serious before - please send 'em my way if you know of anyone!  Also, if you are a desert expert, feel free to send "stay cool" tips too ;D  Lots of love to you all!

  1. Hey, Allie! I love your accessories, especially that turquoise bracelet!

    Have you checked out my Etsy shop yet? I have some cute, simple designs and headers. I could also do some color changes if you like a design but want different colors. If you're interested, here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ABMBlogDesigns

  2. It is so hard to dress for hot weather. I live in Texas and my summer uniform is tank top and shorts. Love your cut offs!
