popping in to tell you about my favorite purchase of late --this smocked dress that i scored on super sale this week. lucky for you, it's still on sale! use code SALEONSALE for an additional 20% off its already reduced price. madewell lucie smocked tiered midi dress (xs) || old navy lace-up sandals (similar) || madewell ...
gather round, friends, i'm going to let you in on a little trick i recently did to my jeans to make them feel like a whole new pair. ready for it? I CROPPED THEM. revolutionary, right? anthropologie endless rose bubble top (xs -size down) || zara wide leg jeans (blue wash -size up! wearing 27/4) || madewell ...
after a very spendy april, may has been a welcomed quieter month in terms of closet additions. perhaps that's because june is birthday month so maybe i'm just tempering my spending habits now in order to treat myself for the next 30 days? that's not not true. ANYWAY, some of the items i suspect to ...
as you know, my wardrobe is an ever evolving labor of love. for the past two years it has undergone seasons -the maternity season, the postpartum season, and now the "my twins are almost two years old" season? at any rate, i've been doing a lot of purging and pruning and assessing -most notably in ...
full disclosure: i bought a lot of stuff this month. some things were big winners, some not-so-much. what i can say is that the things i have made space for in my closet, i know i will have for years to come. plus i also did some spring cleaning and donated/sold a few pieces to ...
there are a few things i equate with the warmer seasons -my favorite pair of sandals, the smell of sunscreen, sleeveless everything, and a good woven bag. while i'm not usually one to switch out my purse day to day, come summertime, i tend to forgo my leather tote in exchange for a seasonal carry-all. ...
before i discovered madewell, i feel like anthropologie was my GO TO in terms of purveying my wardrobe. first of all, their dressing rooms/dressing room mirrors/dressing room lighting is/are above and beyond the most flattering in the business, a fact that always makes the in-person shopping experience exponentially more delightful. but equally as important is ...
it's been eons since i did an outfit post like this but i'm hoping to bring them back in some capacity as the twins become more manageable (and fun!) in their burgeoning toddlerhood. S and i used to scout viable backdrops for #ootd photos on our way to dinner on those breezy saturday nights pre-parenthood. ...
one could say that with my long torso, i've inadvertently been embracing cropped tops for years. however, this season i'm embracing the mid-drift baring look on purpose. with an abundance of high-waisted pants/jeans in my closet, i'm loving the retro look of pairing said belly-button hovering trousers with tops that leave just a hint of ...
i'll be honest, i have been pretty uninspired by the current fashion trends lately. so with that said, i'd say the winners from this month's purchases would fall under the category of "wardrobe basics" vs. seasonal pieces. i've spent the past few weeks "pruning" my closet (not quite a complete purge but a weeding out ...
