style, stories & everything in between
we took the twins to their first pumpkin patch today and the photos were too perfect to not share. while they were still a bit young to partake in all the patch had to offer (hay rides, bounce houses, corn mazes, oh my!), we managed to take advantage of what was toddler appropriate. i remember ...
another month has (almost) passed us by (how?!) and after striking out on many of my recent online purchases, we had some real winners this month! here are the latest things to arrive (or will be arriving) on our front door step. the homeruns: levi's vintage overalls (small) || as i've made mention many times before ...
the perfect overalls do not ex-- actually they do. and i just found them thanks to levi's. while i love my skinny overalls, i have been searching for a more relaxed pair for what feels like forever and had never been able to find exactly what i was looking for. then my ultimate style crush julia berolzheimer ...

despite the fact that fall doesn't *officially* start for another week, as far as i'm concerned, it's time to start dreaming up autumn outfits --outfits that incorporate my newest closet addition, the perfect light-weight puffer jacket in the dreamiest toffee shade. buying jackets when it's still 90-degrees outside is kind of like buying swimsuits in february, ...

ANYWAY, i've ...
well, well, well. i never thought i'd see the day i'd belt a dress again. but here we are. mango vichy check dress (4/small) || loft leather wrap belt (xs/s) || target univesral thread dahlia mules (sized up 1/2 size) i went hard on this trend back in the mid-aughts, so much so that once the ...
welcome back to another overview of the things that have landed on my doorstep over the past 30 days (or are pending arrival). it appears i've done quite a bit of ordering this month (whoopsies), but lucky for our bank account, most of the items haven't lived up to their online hype. despite striking out, ...
ever since my local j.crew store closed its doors nearly two years ago, i've seen a huge decline in how often i shop the brand. i loved saving on shipping costs by having my online items shipped directly to the store. and if for whatever reason said items didn't turn out to be winners, i ...
tuesday with temperatures still in the 80's, tanks + shorts are still my go-to formula when putting together an outfit every day. since i had planned a walk with a girlfriend and her son (and the twins, of course) in the afternoon, i decided to opt for sneakers vs. sandals so i didn't have to change ...
