style, stories & everything in between
having twins is the ultimate ice breaker. not a day goes by that we're not stopped by someone who either has twins, is a twin, knows someone who's expecting twins, or in the very least, just wants to emphasize the fact that i'm pushing not one but TWO babies in my double stroller. sometimes i ...
if there's one thing that i never tire of adding to my wardrobe, it's a great white/cream/neutral-colored sweater. i tend to gravitate toward separates once the cooler weather sets in, so having an arsenal of neutral-colored knits at my disposal to pair with denim and/or midi skirts makes putting together chic and comfortable outfits a ...
one of my favorite things in life is a nice, long, hot* (we're talking scalding!) bath. so you can imagine my disappointment when we gave the twins their first bath and they proceeded to scream uncontrollably for the entire duration. *please know we never use hot water with the babies! fast forward five months and henry ...
the autumnal equinox was yesterday so according to the calendar, it is officially fall, y'all! now anyone in southern california knows that true fall weather doesn't arrive until late october/early november, but that won't stop me from planning out some cool weather ensembles to sport once the chilly temperatures arrive! because one can never be ...
if there has been at least one benefit to this pandemic, it's the fact that we've all really stepped up our loungewear game. as a new mom of twins, i for one am very much here for that. after ginger recommended these high-waisted joggers from old navy, i decided to try them out for myself. ...
popping in to tell you about a recent purchase i've been wearing on repeat since they arrived. these rib-knit sleep shorts! despite my best efforts, getting dressed in 'real clothes' continues to be a challenge these days --especially knowing that within minutes of putting it on, my outfit is bound to be covered in spit-up ...
let me just start off by saying that this post is a long time coming. i've been wanting to dip my toe into the capsule wardrobe pond for a while now but could never seem to get my act together in time to publish a working collection. leave it to motherhood to garner the perfect ...
after wearing them daily as part of my uniform in middle and high school, i've harbored a great disdain for button-front shirts for years. however, once i became a mother and learned of a button-front shirt's functionality in terms of nursing, i quickly changed my tune. now i find myself considering a top's breast-feeding friendliness ...
to me nothing screams summer more than a crisp white dress. paired with sun-kissed skin and a comfy sandal, it's the perfect "put on and go" look to enjoy the season. granted with two tiny humans, white is probably not the best option for me to wear right now, but i stand by my trusty ...
i used to joke during my last months of pregnancy that i only got dressed up for doctor's visits and it's proving to be the case with postpartum life as well. today i had my official 6-week post-op check-up and i'm proud to report i got cleared to resume all normal activity -most notably working ...
