style, stories & everything in between
well, we're in the home stretch, guys! can you believe it?! to keep me outfitted during these final weeks before the twins' arrival, my mom and i did a little shopping at a cute french boutique you may have heard of -tar-jay. it's very fancy, ha! in all seriousness though, target is really stepping up ...
i have been waiting for it to be cool enough to finally wear the coatigan that has taken the style blogging world by storm. i swear this knit has gone in and out of stock a handful of times on mango's website and thankfully i was able to snag it during one of their restocks. ...
someone recently dm'ed me to tell me that faux leather is a mom's best friend. if anything spills on it (which is bound to happen), you can just wipe it clean! brilliant. you already know i've become obsessed with my spanx maternity faux leather leggings (shown above), but i've also started thinking about how i'll ...
it may seem crazy to splurge on a t-shirt, but after adding two anine bing tees to my wardrobe over the last year, i can say they are worth every penny. they are well-made, machine washable, and, as evidenced by today's post, extremely versatile in terms of styling. last time i styled one of anine ...
i am beyond thrilled to share today's post. after admiring her designs for years, i can't believe i'm actually wearing a sonnet james dress! the sweet team at sonnet james gifted me two of their signature 'reese' dresses soon after we found out i was pregnant and i've been anxiously waiting to wear one to ...
in all honesty, i've wanted to do a capsule wardrobe forever and it looks like it only took getting pregnant to finally make it happen! though it may feel like 134967 years, pregnancy is only 40 weeks (most likely less for us since twins tend to arrive earlier than single babies) so i knew i ...
after hearing the praises of these spanx leggings sung for YEARS, i finally decided this winter to be the season i would invest in a pair. and i've never felt cooler. while i'd never describe my personal style as 'edgy,' i will say that i feel like my style has evolved a bit over the ...
two years ago my parents had the novel idea of celebrating my favorite holiday in the desert at the la quinta resort and after an amazing experience, this year we're back for round two. this time we've upgraded our rooms and plan on truly relaxing in style (especially since this is really the only other ...
i feel like i've been on the hunt for a good long cardigan forever. it had to be the goldilocks of sweaters -not too heavy but not too light and the perfect length for my longer frame. essentially a cardigan i could throw over most anything (dresses, skirts, jeans, and even shorts in the transitional ...
who knew i could love a fanny pack so much? i'm back for a third time to feature my beloved madewell simple pouch belt bag (see how i've styled it previously here & here). this time i'm teaming up with three of my favorite internet (and IRL) friends -ashley (@lovealwaysashleyj), conni (@artinthefind) & christin (@cbsyled) ...
