this is a story about a girl named lucky who ordered then returned then ordered again (twice over) a little waffle-knit set from gap. the first time i ordered the thermal i couldn't quite justify keeping it since it was more of an impulse buy than anything. then i saw the matching joggers paired with ...
the $30 sweater you need in your life
if you know me, you know there are three things i can't resist -a puff-sleeve, an iced coffee, and a ruffle (there are probably a dozen more items but narrowing it down to three felt dramatic). so when instagram served up this sweater in a targeted target ad (lol), i absolutely obliged. i went a ...

4 ways to style a puffer jacket
despite the fact that fall doesn't *officially* start for another week, as far as i'm concerned, it's time to start dreaming up autumn outfits --outfits that incorporate my newest closet addition, the perfect light-weight puffer jacket in the dreamiest toffee shade. buying jackets when it's still 90-degrees outside is kind of like buying swimsuits in february, ...
my fall activewear wish list
it's been a minute since i updated my activewear collection, especially since weaning the twins in april. while my sports bras have certainly served me well, i think it might be time to retire them. if only for the fact that they remind me of a very specific time of the postpartum season.
