style, stories & everything in between
after a brief unintentional hiatus, i'm back with another styling session for the fall season! this time i'm teaming up with one of my local friends, melanie of @simplymelanielo to showcase how we style our favorite pair of booties for cooler weather. i've put together four looks below and will post a speedy video ...
while we've STILL yet to experience true sweater weather in these parts (maybe next month?), that hasn't stopped me from adding a few cozy knits to my online cart. similar to shoes, i believe one can never own too many sweaters. if cared for properly, they're the kind of garment that'll last you year after ...
my online purchases usually come in waves. it'll be weeks without a credit card charge and then BAM all of a sudden i have eight separate tracking numbers land in my inbox. whoopsies. in my defense, i honestly return about 90% of everything i buy. furthermore i can confidently say that every single one of ...
to me, personal style is always evolving. if it didn't, we wouldn't occasionally look back on things we wore five, ten, fifteen years ago and cringe, right? i mean, we're ever evolving as humans so it would make sense that our personal styling preferences would follow suit. if i were to compare today's style to ...
whenever i get a new piece for my wardrobe, i always assess how many outfits i can make with it to justify its purchase. case in point, this cute puff sleeve top i recently picked up from loft (last seen here). to showcase its versatility, i styled it five different ways for a myriad of ...
if i had to choose a favorite color palette, it would be these three components -black, leopard (it's a neutral and therefore a color, right?), and cognac. to me, there's no more classic trio (okay well maybe after destiny's child and the jonas brothers...). while i love my jeans, i have been really gravitating toward ...
well, it happened. we got a little glimpse of fall last week. it actually rained a couple of mornings -not a lot, but enough to get the streets wet and conjure up that delicious smell that only rogue precipitation produces. it was kind of glorious, you guys. albeit brief, the fall-like conditions made me excited ...
if ever there was a workhorse in your closet -it's the humble little black dress (or LBD as i like to call it). over the years, i've owned many intimations of the wardrobe staple, but until very recently, i didn't have a current version that i loved. as i was perusing the mango mid-season sale, ...
file under things i love: coffee, brussels sprouts, the bravo network, cloudy days, and a good sleeve detail. it's true, give me a frilled/feminine/exaggerated sleeve and i'm a happy girl. right now puff sleeves are having a moment. the slightly billowy shape seems to be 2019's version of 1980's shoulder pad. personally i love the ...
if you're a regular reader (hi! thank you for tuning in!), you know i basically shop at two stores -madewell and abercrombie. i'll occasionally throw in a purchase from j.crew or anthropologie, but for the most part, you could kind of split my wardrobe down the middle and it would hail from the two aforementioned ...
