style, stories & everything in between
repeat after me: life's better in a sweater. except maybe when it's still 80 degrees. i was so kindly gifted the spruce sweater from darling society's fall collection which just launched september 1st. while the temperatures aren't quite sweater weather yet, i know this cozy knit will get plenty of wear in the early months of the ...
let's just call august the month of the flat. i realized i purchased no less than four pairs of footwear over the last 30 days in an effort to build my fall collection. and the ironic thing? SPOILER ALERT --they all fell, wait for it, flat. i'll be here all night, folks. but seriously, try ...
i haven't owned a pair of grey wash jeans in a while so when my latest pair of horseshoe jeans* arrived in their new cinder shade, i was inspired to put together a half dozen looks for future reference. which look is your favorite? *this style runs big so be sure to size down citizens of humanity ...
july is the month summer (at least summer weather) finally decided to show up and i've taken it as my prime opportunity to *shockingly* shop my own closet. so many cropped tops and tanks from previous seasons have sat idly by through the may grey and june gloom and selecting from them every morning has ...
how much denim is too much denim? the limit does not exist if you ask me. after adding the sezane rosa blouse in white to my wardrobe, i decided to snag it in the chambray style as well. never one to shy away from a monochromatic look, i paired it with my horseshoe jeans in ...
you ever have one of those full-circle moments? in my mid-late 20’s i used to write for darling, the magazine turned lifestyle brand that has built meaningful community around a shared mission: to shift cultural mindsets on beauty and self-esteem. they were kind enough to provide me a forum on which to articulate the issues plaguing my most ...
while i've admired sezane for years, i've only had personal experience with them since last october (when i began my partnership). so when i learned they were releasing some of their summer pieces from collections past, i was excited to see what i had been missing out on for the past decade. per usual, i ...
as you may or may not know, june is my birthday month (i rang in 38 on the 4th) and well, that's how i justified some of these big ticket purchases. the homeruns were some of my favorite finds of late (this skirt in particular) and i know i'll have them in my closet for ...
whenever a new sezane collection launches (usually on a sunday morning), i always set my alarm for 12:30am PDT. it may seem crazy but since the company is based in paris, their launch time is nine hours ahead. if i were to wait until my normal waking hour (6:00am our time), i would surely miss ...
first of all, HOW is it may? and the END of may at that?! the twins turned three this month and in a few weeks both S and i will celebrate our (much older) birthdays, too. coupled with mother's and father's day, it's a busy time of year in the rivera household. as you may ...
