style, stories & everything in between
well, well, well. i never thought i'd see the day i'd belt a dress again. but here we are. mango vichy check dress (4/small) || loft leather wrap belt (xs/s) || target univesral thread dahlia mules (sized up 1/2 size) i went hard on this trend back in the mid-aughts, so much so that once the ...
welcome back to another overview of the things that have landed on my doorstep over the past 30 days (or are pending arrival). it appears i've done quite a bit of ordering this month (whoopsies), but lucky for our bank account, most of the items haven't lived up to their online hype. despite striking out, ...
ever since my local j.crew store closed its doors nearly two years ago, i've seen a huge decline in how often i shop the brand. i loved saving on shipping costs by having my online items shipped directly to the store. and if for whatever reason said items didn't turn out to be winners, i ...
tuesday with temperatures still in the 80's, tanks + shorts are still my go-to formula when putting together an outfit every day. since i had planned a walk with a girlfriend and her son (and the twins, of course) in the afternoon, i decided to opt for sneakers vs. sandals so i didn't have to change ...
after sharing all of these pieces in a blog post (and placing them in my online cart in anticipation of a sale...), i finally hit 'purchase' (and saved myself 40% off!). they recently arrived and spoiler alert: i love every single thing. after cleaning up my closet and re-discovering my style postpartum, i am shocked ...
i'm not going to lie, i loved this week's outfits! i'm still waiting on some new pieces to arrive in the mail so in the meantime i'm having fun remixing some old closet standbys. i think next week i'll add in a bit of commentary on how i chose to put together each outfit and ...
and we're back with another week's worth of ensembles! i just realized this was the week of the low bun (lol). i usually curl my hair for studio barre on demand filming every wednesday and can milk the curls for at least a few days, but this heat/humidity has not been kind. HOWEVER the warm ...
if there's one thing i've learned over the past 14 months of parenting twins, it's that #selfcare is essential for survival. right now that looks like showering, putting on make-up, and a fun outfit during the babies' first nap as a sort of restart on my day. with the august heat alive and well, most ...
i recently had a request for a little round-up of my favorite mom-friendly jeans and with fall just around the corner, i figured now was a good of a time as any to share my top three picks! i realize denim shopping isn't always at the top of everyone's fun list, so i've done my ...
welcome to august, loves! HOW on earth is it already august?! time is flying. i can't believe another full week has passed us by! team rivera had a pretty good week, we even took a couple field trips to one of our favorite coffee shops and our local botanical gardens. trying to keep these 14-month-old ...
