I was first introduced to this high end Boho brand at a blogger crawl here in Scottsdale at their branded store in Kierland Commons.
The second I checked out their IG, I knew I needed more of them in my life! Their color scheme, the Boho vibes, and after visiting their store, the feel of the clothes.
Go ahead and click on the IG and check it out, I will wait…
Ok, now that we are back. One thing I wasn’t sure about when I first visited their website was the price tag. Chalk it up to my humble upbringing but spending well over $200 for a t shirt or casual dress seemed crazy to me!
The thing I realized was this — I’m not (most likely) going to have an entire wardrobe from Johnny Was without my husband having a heart attack. So more likely it will be capsule pieces that are timeless.
The quality and craftsmanship put into this clothing line makes the price tag not only understandable, but so worth it.
These aren’t what I like to call “throw away clothes.”
Meaning the price is low enough that if it gets stained, washed wrong, shrunk, stretched, ripped, etc. I just toss it and buy something new. — (I know, not environmentally good on my part, I KNOW!)
Quality is reflected in the price. The silk is real, the velvet is velvet, not velour. The embroidery work is flawless.
Side note — I worked for an embroidery shop that mostly did hats and jackets in my 20s off and on for trade shows, so I know the quality and precision of embroidery work.
In addition to the clothing line, the silk scarves have such vibrant colors and if you’ve never felt real silk just go to either the Johnny Was location or Neiman Marcus to feel them.
AMAZING.
The soap and candle scents are none like I’ve ever smelled. I’m usually not much of a floral scent fan but they have me sooo hooked!
And the coolest part is their soap packages and all their labels match that of the colors of the stores. The soap comes wrapped in a little piece of velvet while the clothing tags have a tassel and embroidery work of the brand’s name.
Attention to detail hasn’t slipped on this brand, they make even the smallest details stand out.
It’s no wonder Johnny Was has been around in the luxury fashion scene and will continue to stay for infinite time! You can find them in Neiman Marcus and a few luxury websites.
I know they are going to be in my closet for a long time coming!
What are your thoughts on this lux brand? What are your thoughts on luxury Boho? I’d love to continue the conversation with you.
The start of school signifies the end of summer. And everyone turns their eyes to fall, Pumpkin Spice, sweaters, boots, and football, etc.
Except in Arizona. — expect we still love football in this house too. –>> Saturday’s are Cream and Crimson and Sunday’s are all about Colt’s Nation 🙂
For at least 2 more months in the Valley of the Sun, we expect to see triple digits. And high double digits until at least November. Right now, It’s nearing the end of Monsoon season, and we can almost sleep comfortably at night…almost.
August, most of September, and some of October still lends well to wearing swim suits and playing in the pool. If you have a working pool heater, or a staycation at a local resort, you could don a suit well into the holidays. And then again as early as February!
If we don’t get moving on the new house remodel, we may be hopping in the pool well into December!
Hence, a swim suit, sun glasses, and swim cover up are necessities for everyone here!

Here’s my weekend look for the rest of summer! Use the code AMYJCO for 25% off!
I was so happy to be able to partner with rockflowerpaper designs to help bring awareness to their swimwear line. It made total sense as swimming is a near year round activity here! Along with their swimwear line, they make scarves, totes, women’s clothing, and home accessories. Each piece is inspired by the businesses’ women’s own personal travels around the world. The line began with hand-painted watercolors and prints out of their San Francisco Bay Area studio.
We also try to visit a tropical place with beaches in the winter, so water is always on my mind! Like the post I published about traveling to other places very affordably HERE. You can travel to lots of places without spending all of your savings too! rockflowerpaper has a great, affordable line that won’t break the bank, yet keeps you stylish at home, or on the beaches of the world.
Their line is carried in departments stores as well as online, and with the code AMYJCO , you can save 25% off by clicking HERE.
The piece they sent me is amazing. I love the muted hues and pop of color the tassles give on the strings around the neck. This piece was genuinely thought over and developed for use on the go, for fashion and function. The fabric is so soft and comfortable that I could wear it for an entire day with ease.
One thing that I personally look for when shopping for swim cover ups is coverage. I want –scratch that, desire good coverage over my suit but also be breathable enough to let air flow through without making me feel like I’m completely naked.
This one is thick enough and fashionable enough to wear to the grocery or somewhere else without having to worry that people will know it’s really a cover up. It’s light enough fabric; the slits up the side allow for breathing and airflow to help you dry off. I nearly wore it to school pick up as a normal dress the other day! It is so comfortable and cute!
Are you planning a vacation the rest of this year, or looking for next year? Grab one, or several, of these up!

Lately, it’s all I can do to see one outfit after another on Instagram and blog posts. Let’s not forget all the emails and sales offers for updating your style that flood our inboxes.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one that comes top of mind when thinking of updating my style. If you are a card member, access is open now. If you aren’t, public access opens July 19th. Just remember that some items come in limited quantities, so not everything is available.
The other place I look for updating my fashion is on Amazon, which has their sales coming the 15th and 16th of July!
