style, stories & everything in between
cue up the country music and break out the bbq, we're headed to nashville on thursday, y'all! as part of S's anniversary present (in honor of the "paper" tradition for year one), i surprised him with tickets to one of our favorite comedian's shows. the only problem was that iliza shlesinger's tour wasn't coming through southern california. SO ...
i'll start this off by saying that this post contains far too few photos for my liking. somewhere between the rainy weather and navigating nashville roads, we were remiss in documenting on camera a good majority of our trip. but what i can offer you are words (and a few iphone photos) and hopefully my way ...
goodness me, it has taken me forever to write this post. i mean, my trip was almost two weeks ago (get yourself together, shawna!). anyway, i promised myself (and you) that i would recap my latest visit to nash and doggonit i'm not breaking that promise. so here it goes. after a crazy friday morning at ...
if there was ever a year that felt like it came and went in a hurry, it's year #32. in fact, the rate at which my 33rd birthday has crept up on me was so alarming that i almost didn't want to write this post. not because i'm scared of turning another year older, but ...
this friday, i'm in love with... terracotta || no, not the kind for potted plants, but the pretty muted orangey/brown color. it's popping up everywhere for spring and i for one am HERE for it. we stopped by the able store in nashville while we were there last weekend and i was instantly drawn to this ...
this friday, i'm in love with... bodyrok encinitas || while i know i'll always be a studio barre girl forever, lately i've been feeling the itch to add in a supplemental workout at least once a week. enter bodyrok. i took my very first sculpt class on wednesday evening and holy abs, batman, it was hard! ...
this friday, i'm in love with... madewell's fall color palette || from rich mustards to soft pinks, madewell's color palette for fall continues to give me all the heart-eyes. their latest batch of new arrivals also incorporates my personal favorite hue for fall -green. currently idling in my cart are this ruffled blouse, this button-back top, ...
as i mentioned last week, i was originally opposed to having a bachelorette party. but in reflecting over how full this weekend made my heart feel, i am so grateful that my friends convinced me otherwise. the celebrations kicked-off when my friend of 17 years (M) flew in from san francisco on friday morning for a ...
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 ...
as i mentioned in yesterday's post, S and i are headed to the windy city first thing tomorrow morning. aside from a quick trip to nashville for a wedding last fall, it's our first real vacation since our pacific northwest adventures in january 2015! needless to say, i'm very excited for five days sans alarms, ...
