style, stories & everything in between
hands down my favorite place to shop for dresses is mango! if you've followed me for a while, you know my love for the spanish-based company runs deep and in thinking about filling my wardrobe with flowy floral fabrics for spring/summer, there was no question which website i thought to peruse first! on the hunt ...
another day, another matching set. i told myself i didn't need another sweat suit, but here we are. truth is, they make me feel pulled together amidst a season that feels a bit nutty (aka raising one-year-old twins) and for that reason alone, they're worth every penny. thankfully this one isn't too many pennies ($29.99 ...
by far my favorite trend of the moment is smocking! the accordion-like detail is not only flattering across a bodice, it also provides dimension to any outfit. it's feminine without being too frilly and perfect for warm weather as with most pieces, you can go sans bra (let them be free!). i recently picked up ...
i know matching sweat suits are so 2020, but we're five months into 2021 and i'm still all about coordinated cozies. they're just so easy! and for this twin mom, easy is EVERYTHING. i recently found this terry henley sweatshirt and matching shorts set and figured they'd be perfect for lounging around the house ("lounging" ...
building my postpartum wardrobe has been a labor of love. i have spent the past few months purging and purging and purging some more (donating and consigning said purged items) in anticipation of refilling my closet with pieces that not only make me feel my very best, but equally as important -fit my current lifestyle ...
i can probably count the number of times i've worn jeans in the last year on both hands. between raising nine month old twins and being mostly housebound as a result of the pandemic, there have been very few occasions that have warranted pants with structured waistbands. HOWEVER when two instagram influencers raved about these ...
if there's one thing that i never tire of adding to my wardrobe, it's a great white/cream/neutral-colored sweater. i tend to gravitate toward separates once the cooler weather sets in, so having an arsenal of neutral-colored knits at my disposal to pair with denim and/or midi skirts makes putting together chic and comfortable outfits a ...
the autumnal equinox was yesterday so according to the calendar, it is officially fall, y'all! now anyone in southern california knows that true fall weather doesn't arrive until late october/early november, but that won't stop me from planning out some cool weather ensembles to sport once the chilly temperatures arrive! because one can never be ...
if there has been at least one benefit to this pandemic, it's the fact that we've all really stepped up our loungewear game. as a new mom of twins, i for one am very much here for that. after ginger recommended these high-waisted joggers from old navy, i decided to try them out for myself. ...
popping in to tell you about a recent purchase i've been wearing on repeat since they arrived. these rib-knit sleep shorts! despite my best efforts, getting dressed in 'real clothes' continues to be a challenge these days --especially knowing that within minutes of putting it on, my outfit is bound to be covered in spit-up ...
