style, stories & everything in between
when i got my first two pairs of non-blue jean denim this summer (one pair of madewell's high-riser skinny skinny jeans in grey and one in black), i figured i would wear them sporadically, mixing them in only when i tired of my normal denim routine (dark skinny jeans are after all, my jam). but i'm shocked to ...
since dedicating this space to chronicle my style journey rather than strictly my personal one, my personal monologues are fewer and far between. thanks to the S & S wedding series, you've been able to catch a glimpse of a more intimate time in my life (which i'm super happy to share), but very rarely anymore do ...
the latest as seen on instagram (ASOI) comes from an outfit i wore to church two weeks ago when the weather was doing its "el nino-ish" thing. i say "ish" because we were supposed to have "you better build an ark!" rains and truthfully, aside from the sky looking angry, there wasn't much more than a light sprinkle. ...
happy hump day! i'm back with a second installment of as seen on instagram! i usually shy away from pastels since they tend to wash-out my fair skin tone, but something about the arrival of spring has had me in the mood for a lighter color palette. so in getting dressed for church one sunday, i ...
about seven years ago, a girlfriend from college and i traveled to steamboat springs for our mutual friend's wedding. i don't want to talk about the tiny plane we had to take to get there, but trauma aside, steamboat is the CUTEST little resort town and it was such a treat having the opportunity to ...
one of S and my first dates was dinner and a movie. so whenever we recreate it, it always makes me nostalgic for the first few weeks of our relationship (in somewhat related news, we celebrated a whopping 20 months together last thursday! woot!). this weekend, we changed up our usual saturday evening routine of ...
while there's nothing like the perfect pair of classic wash jeans, i've learned that the world of denim doesn't stop at blue. in fact, there's a rainbow of colors just waiting to be paired with your favorite white tee or classic chambray. below are my favorite four washes of denim with a styling suggestion and tips on where ...
though these days i find myself gravitating toward a more neutral palette in terms of my wardrobe, i don't think i'll ever be able to quit color completely. i find neon pinks, vibrant blues, even a good citrine every now and then to be instant mood boosters, especially when i'm looking to add a little punch to my ...
welcome back! i'm excited to reveal the last two looks from my four boots, four ways post (psst, here's a refresher of yesterday's feature). while yesterday's pairs were more closet staples, today's boots would probably fall under the "novelty" category. i may not wear these as often, but when i do, you best be sure i style ...
now just what is this post all aboot? (get it?!) it's aboot my love for boots (and a good canadian accent, clearly). after experiencing el nino's impending reign a couple weeks ago, it's clear winter weather is here to stay. to me, that translates to cozying up in oversized sweaters, covering up unwashed hair with knit beanies, and ...
