style, stories & everything in between
after hearing its praises sung by the internet and my current style muse and saie's creative director, geri hirsch, i finally got my hands on two products from the clean beauty brand with both a cult-like following and gorgeous branding, saie. thanks to their black friday sale, i nabbed their glowy super gel and dew ...
admittedly, i made quite a few black friday purchases this year. most of them were stocking up on products i love and use regularly at a discounted price (skincare, makeup, etc.), but a couple were impulse-ish buys that i prayed would work out. one said purchase was this dress from dissh, an australian brand owned, ...
i don't know if you know this but thanksgiving is TOMORROW. i know, i was shocked, too. i swear it snuck up on me this year. but then again, raising 18-month-old twins who never. stop. moving. will do that to you, right?! anyway, team rivera is very much looking forward to a full spread -including ...
welp, didn't realize i had ordered so much stuff this month until i took a moment to write it all down. whoopsies! in my defense, there were a lot of items that ended up in the "misses" category (per usual) and the things that i did end up keeping were most certainly purchased on sale. ...
well it looks like christmas black friday came early this year because madewell just announced that they are offering 30% off (typically their most generous discount of the year!) EVERYTHING* now through monday. just use code OHJOY at checkout. i definitely have about a dozen things idling in my online shopping cart at this current ...
well it's that time of year again --the time we gather up our family, dress everyone in coordinating outfits, and bribe our children to smile for the sake of at least one good snap to slap across a holiday template as this year's christmas card. the above photo is from last year's photoshoot (can you ...
this is a story about a girl named lucky who ordered then returned then ordered again (twice over) a little waffle-knit set from gap. the first time i ordered the thermal i couldn't quite justify keeping it since it was more of an impulse buy than anything. then i saw the matching joggers paired with ...
so after having a mini meltdown about the pressure to make the holidays *perfect* for the twins this year, i pulled myself together, thought about how i did want to celebrate the upcoming season, and decided that first and foremost, i wanted to fill our home with cute neutral (and toddler safe!) holiday decorations to ...
if you know me, you know there are three things i can't resist -a puff-sleeve, an iced coffee, and a ruffle (there are probably a dozen more items but narrowing it down to three felt dramatic). so when instagram served up this sweater in a targeted target ad (lol), i absolutely obliged. i went a ...
i contemplated even writing this post because a majority of this month's purchases have been duds. however, there have been a few diamonds in the rough so i figured why not share everything? plus if i've learned anything with sharing my picks, it's that sometimes my "miss" just may be your "homerun" and for that ...
