style, stories & everything in between
it feels SO good to have our big secret out in the open! a) because i was having a tough time hiding my growing bump (and boobs!) anymore and b) i have a few fun maternity purchases that i've been dying to wear and feature on the blog. today's post features the very first piece ...
it still feels absolutely surreal typing that sentence. but we have the sonogram on our fridge to prove it -i'm growing human life inside of my belly (technically uterus, duh)! after a long two-year process of ups and downs on our fertility journey, i can shout it from the rooftops --WE'RE PREGNANT! let's back up 2.5 ...
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) ...
after a long week, it felt good to get dressed up for a double date night with dear friends and their adorable toddler. for a casual dinner at our local pizza joint (they even had gluten free!), i opted for an old standby -this polka dot swing dress i snagged from old navy years ago. ...
after my most recent optometrist appointment, i was advised that it might be a good idea to swap out my normal sunnies for a pair with my new prescription. there was no question where i wanted to go to search for a new pair --warby parker! i headed to our local store and scoured the ...
sometimes when you buy something new, you love it so much that you find yourself wearing it all the time. case in point -these jeans. i can't get enough of their baggy, boyfriend goodness. for this weekend's date night, i paired them with my cream sweater tank (old from earlier in the year) and my ...
after seeing this skirt on a few of my style instagram friends, i finally ordered it to see what the hype was all about. after trying it on, i immediately understood why it had become a cult favorite. it's like wearing a cozy sweater on the lower-half of your body and the elastic waistband makes ...
