style, stories & everything in between
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 ...
while i've played my fair share of sports over the years (tennis, softball, volleyball, and --whether or not you believe it to be a sport --cheerleading), i wouldn't necessarily describe myself as "sporty." and for whatever reason i've always equated the sneaker trend with being the aforementioned superlative so i never paid it much attention ...
so in the midst of the twins' stomach flu (i promise i'll stop talking about it, but it left such a lasting impact on me, lol), the holidays, and new year's, i was remiss in sharing my recent purchases for the month of december. to be honest, i didn't really buy that much (shocking, i ...
welp, #targetdoesitagain (they always do, don't they?!)! i just received this quilted bomber jacket in the mail this weekend and it's so good, it needed to be shared. on a recent solo target trip (see also: mini vacation), i stumbled upon this utility jacket during a quick perusal of the clothing department. on a whim, ...
after 18 long months, the rivera clan took a little vacation! all four of us + papa kurt and gogo just returned from four glorious days at la quinta resort in la quinta, california -also known to us as heaven on earth. we've been coming to the resort for YEARS (it was the site of ...
admittedly, i made quite a few black friday purchases this year. most of them were stocking up on products i love and use regularly at a discounted price (skincare, makeup, etc.), but a couple were impulse-ish buys that i prayed would work out. one said purchase was this dress from dissh, an australian brand owned, ...
i don't know if you know this but thanksgiving is TOMORROW. i know, i was shocked, too. i swear it snuck up on me this year. but then again, raising 18-month-old twins who never. stop. moving. will do that to you, right?! anyway, team rivera is very much looking forward to a full spread -including ...
welp, didn't realize i had ordered so much stuff this month until i took a moment to write it all down. whoopsies! in my defense, there were a lot of items that ended up in the "misses" category (per usual) and the things that i did end up keeping were most certainly purchased on sale. ...
