style, stories & everything in between
whenever i get a new piece for my wardrobe, i always assess how many outfits i can make with it to justify its purchase. case in point, this cute puff sleeve top i recently picked up from loft (last seen here). to showcase its versatility, i styled it five different ways for a myriad of ...
if i had to choose a favorite color palette, it would be these three components -black, leopard (it's a neutral and therefore a color, right?), and cognac. to me, there's no more classic trio (okay well maybe after destiny's child and the jonas brothers...). while i love my jeans, i have been really gravitating toward ...
well, it happened. we got a little glimpse of fall last week. it actually rained a couple of mornings -not a lot, but enough to get the streets wet and conjure up that delicious smell that only rogue precipitation produces. it was kind of glorious, you guys. albeit brief, the fall-like conditions made me excited ...
if ever there was a workhorse in your closet -it's the humble little black dress (or LBD as i like to call it). over the years, i've owned many intimations of the wardrobe staple, but until very recently, i didn't have a current version that i loved. as i was perusing the mango mid-season sale, ...
file under things i love: coffee, brussels sprouts, the bravo network, cloudy days, and a good sleeve detail. it's true, give me a frilled/feminine/exaggerated sleeve and i'm a happy girl. right now puff sleeves are having a moment. the slightly billowy shape seems to be 2019's version of 1980's shoulder pad. personally i love the ...
if you're a regular reader (hi! thank you for tuning in!), you know i basically shop at two stores -madewell and abercrombie. i'll occasionally throw in a purchase from j.crew or anthropologie, but for the most part, you could kind of split my wardrobe down the middle and it would hail from the two aforementioned ...
well it can officially be fall now, S and i went apple (and pear!) picking this weekend and it was everything i wanted it to be and more. well maybe not everything for the fact that it was still a a balmy 90-degrees, but other than the toasty conditions, it was a perfect mini getaway ...
you must all love overalls* as much as i do because when i posed the question of what styling sessions you wanted to see in the coming weeks, overalls were the most popular response! today i'm sharing six ways (three outfits for each pair of overalls) to wear the childhood favorite for the fall season. ...
despite the fact that it's still not really quite time for jeans (#indiansummer), i've been dying to shoot this pair for the blog. you may remember them from my recent(ish) post highlighting favorites from madewell's fall arrivals, or perhaps you spotted them on my instagram. either way, they are too good not to have ...
i remember when target launched their who what wear collection. like many of their partnerships, it was so exciting to have high-end-looking trendy pieces available at a budgetary price tag. the first (and only piece) i purchased was the above striped top with a dramatic sleeve. even two years later, i grab for it often ...
