fossil watch (c/o) i started wearing a watch in third grade. all the popular girls at my school had shark watches (children of the 80's -remember those?!) so of course i needed one, too. i went through three different versions by the time i reached middle school. but once i reached high school and got my paws on my ...
when i was very little my late grandfather gave me the nickname "rose." it stemmed from my unwavering devotion to the happy hue, so much so that i believed my then naturally ginger locks to actually be pink. over the years, my obsession with the color has remained fairly consistent, peaking perhaps in college when ...
as we enter a fresh year, i can say with full confidence that 2016 was the year i honed into my own personal style. through multiple closet purges, sampling new silhouettes, and adopting a neutral color palette, i now have a closet full of pieces i not only adore, but more importantly, that when i ...
happy new year's eve! i cannot believe we're about to tie a proverbial bow around another year. 2016 came and went in a flurry but certainly packed a punch. while there have been lots of ups and downs (from a collective stand point), i'll always look back on this year fondly if only for the fact ...

believe it or not, summer is fast coming to a close. the back-to-school stuff has been rolled out at target for weeks and i have no doubt the pumpkin spice latte will be back in our instagram feeds faster than we can type #psl. while i've made it no secret how excited i am for ...
similar jeans || loft tank || natalie borton necklace (sold out) similar flats || urban outfitters sunglasses happy monday! to ease us back into the week, i thought i'd share another round-up of my latest instagram outfits. of course if you already follow along, these looks might look very familiar, but for those who don't, below are some ...
