style, stories & everything in between
you may remember these jeans from my recent madewell try-on session. along with this ruffled sweater tank, this pair of denim with a slimmer leg silhouette made it home with me that day. i think of all the pieces i tried on, these jeans were the most popular among readers/instagram followers. at least three of ...
if you would have told my 14-year-old self that 19 years later i'd still be shopping at abercrombe & fitch, i would have laughed at the thought. but here i am, filling my closet with the same brand that outfitted me for most of my youth. every month, it seems, my affections for abercrombie grow ...
with easter just days away, it's time to decipher the perfect outfit for sunday's festivities. while our celebration this year will be on the more casual side, there's just something about the spring holiday that always inspires me to get a little more gussied up --it's not called 'easter best' for nothing! so i plan ...
i used to think my favorite season to shop for was fall, but madewell's spring collection is REALLY having me second guess myself. i popped into the store yesterday to do a thorough try-on of some of their newest arrivals for the season and fell in love with just about every single thing. i'm still ...
you may remember this top from last week's post featuring floral blouses under $100. i took my own recommendation and popped into madewell for an in-person try-on and affirmed my original impression -i loved it! i even bought my mom one so we can be twins (and take advantage of the 20% discount). while it ...
i'm no stranger to bandanas. i took a big liking to them last year and wore them to death all summer long (i styled them here and here). somewhere in the fall/winter i took an unintentional hiatus from wearing them, but with warmer weather headed our way, i feel like the spring is the perfect ...
with spring officially in full swing, i'm ready to bust out all of my floral pieces and embrace the happy season. though i find myself gravitating toward simpler styles and silhouettes these days, there is just something about a posey-adorned print that makes me smile. thinking about adding one or two more blouses into my ...
similar to the search for the perfect pair of jeans, the search for the perfect pair of denim shorts can be just as daunting. especially if you're on the taller side and in your early 30's and don't feel comfy exposing large portions of your upper thigh for the world to see. for those reasons ...
i've said it once and i'll say it again -never buy something at j.crew at full price because if you wait long enough, it's bound to go on sale! case in point, the beloved brand is currently offering 40% off everything (including sale styles) through midnight tonight. if you've been eyeing something for spring, now ...
after a two-day heatwave, it was back to sweaters and jeans this weekend. spring, you're a fickle gal, i tell you. in all honesty, i'll take the cooler temps if it at least means clear skies. to encourage the sun to peek its way from behind the clouds, i kept my color palette golden ...
