style, stories & everything in between
as you know, my wardrobe is an ever evolving labor of love. for the past two years it has undergone seasons -the maternity season, the postpartum season, and now the "my twins are almost two years old" season? at any rate, i've been doing a lot of purging and pruning and assessing -most notably in ...
full disclosure: i bought a lot of stuff this month. some things were big winners, some not-so-much. what i can say is that the things i have made space for in my closet, i know i will have for years to come. plus i also did some spring cleaning and donated/sold a few pieces to ...
there are a few things i equate with the warmer seasons -my favorite pair of sandals, the smell of sunscreen, sleeveless everything, and a good woven bag. while i'm not usually one to switch out my purse day to day, come summertime, i tend to forgo my leather tote in exchange for a seasonal carry-all. ...
before i discovered madewell, i feel like anthropologie was my GO TO in terms of purveying my wardrobe. first of all, their dressing rooms/dressing room mirrors/dressing room lighting is/are above and beyond the most flattering in the business, a fact that always makes the in-person shopping experience exponentially more delightful. but equally as important is ...
it's been eons since i did an outfit post like this but i'm hoping to bring them back in some capacity as the twins become more manageable (and fun!) in their burgeoning toddlerhood. S and i used to scout viable backdrops for #ootd photos on our way to dinner on those breezy saturday nights pre-parenthood. ...
one could say that with my long torso, i've inadvertently been embracing cropped tops for years. however, this season i'm embracing the mid-drift baring look on purpose. with an abundance of high-waisted pants/jeans in my closet, i'm loving the retro look of pairing said belly-button hovering trousers with tops that leave just a hint of ...
i'll be honest, i have been pretty uninspired by the current fashion trends lately. so with that said, i'd say the winners from this month's purchases would fall under the category of "wardrobe basics" vs. seasonal pieces. i've spent the past few weeks "pruning" my closet (not quite a complete purge but a weeding out ...
i often share things that have caught my eye on my instagram stories but since those expire in 24 hours, i thought it might be more fun/helpful to gather them in one place! as we inch closer to warmer weather and celebrate the arrival of the spring equinox, brands are beginning to showcase their SS2022 ...
february might as well be the month in which all of my money went to h&m. some of it came back by way of returns, but overall, it's safe to say i kept their lights on for another 30 days with the amount of pieces that were sent my way. of course i ordered things ...
okay so i think we MAY have finally found the first winning pair of sneakers to add to my "i'm in my mid-30's and i need more arch support" collection. ladies and gentlemen (are there any gentlemen who are reading this?! if so, god bless you), madewell's court sneaker has entered the chat. while i ...
