style, stories & everything in between
hello to april and a month full of returns. if i could categorize this month's purchases in one word it would be disappointing. nearly everything i ordered and for which i had high expectations fell extremely short. i suppose it's probably for the best because many of the items that landed on our doorstep were ...
i have to be be honest with you guys, i've never been a fan of the shacket. while i saw their practicality (they're the hybrid of a shirt and jacket and a lighter-weight layering piece perfect for the temperate climate of san diego), they always felt, well, a little too gen Z to me? as ...
i blinked and somehow we're already through the first quarter of the year! how?! easter is in less than two weeks and i'm still uncertain what i'll be wearing. let alone what the twins will be sporting. let's be honest, it'll probably involve the avengers and/or spiderman but a mom can dream, right? ANYWAY, this ...
in an attempt at using instagram in a more balanced way (or a fresher way?), i've decided to batch my daily outfits in a weekly format. so instead of sharing daily(ish) reels of my #ootd, i'm going to test out sharing a quick video of all seven outfits at once. we'll see how long i ...
similar to the number of days in february, the list of purchases was short in february. bank accounts rejoice! however, comma, i will say that the purchases i did make were indeed bigger ticket items (so perhaps they were fewer in number), but ones i know i'll have for years to come. expect to see them ...
spring, is that you? oh no, it's just my new flats that are giving me all the tulip-and-sunshine-filled days. after deciding that everyone's favorite fisherman sandals didn't quite feel like me, freda salvador launched their jada handwoven flats in three colors --complete with a chic square toe and feminine bow. it was a sign. THESE ...
you know those brands that you admire but are just a hair out of your price range? that was sea NY for me, so color me thrilled when they recently collaborated with sezane for a pre-spring capsule collection. of course a majority of the pieces sold out in hours (sign up for restock alerts if ...
don't look now but valentine's day is one week away! while i love pink and red and conversation hearts (controversial take, i know) and any reason to celebrate love, truth be told, we aren't usually ones to do anything grand on the day itself. however i am starting the tradition with the twins to get ...
remember when sex and the city was airing and we were all constantly categorizing ourselves as either the miranda, charlotte, samantha or carrie? i mean based on the fashions alone, i've always wanted to be the carrie, but given my personality, i think most people would categorize me as a charlotte instead. and honestly, they're ...
happy new year! how long can we actually say that? i vote through the entire month of january, maybe? anyway, i trust your 2023 is off to a great start (and if not, i'm sending a big hug) and perhaps like me, you're counting down the days until spring. if there's anything that these past ...
