style, stories & everything in between
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 ...
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 ...

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, ...
it's been a minute since i updated my activewear collection, especially since weaning the twins in april. while my sports bras have certainly served me well, i think it might be time to retire them. if only for the fact that they remind me of a very specific time of the postpartum season. ANYWAY, i've ...
