style, stories & everything in between
i always take fashion trends with a grain of salt. i oftentimes have to ask myself before purchasing the 'it' item of the season, "am i buying this because i genuinely like it/see it thriving in my wardrobe or just because i might have FOMO if i'm the only one not participating in the trend?" ...
this friday, i'm in love with... amari active || i'm beyond excited to share that i will be partnering with amari active for an upcoming collaboration. i recently discovered the fitness and lifestyle brand through instagram and can't wait to showcase some of their beautiful designs. i mean, how perfect is this flirty tank? stay tuned ...
whenever i post a styling session, i tend to get a few direct messages filled with questions. the funny thing is, 9 times out of 10, the questions aren't about the clothing i'm styling but rather the items in the background --these hampers, the hat rack, and our hanging mirror above our fireplace mantle! so ...
a wise woman (jenna lyons) once said, "leopard is a neutral." though the animal print could be a bold choice for some, if styled well, it can be as essential to any outfit as a basic white tee. to showcase its versatility as well as make the case that it's a print appropriate for all ...
with memorial day just a week away, it's time to pull out our reds, whites, and blues! if you're headed to a BBQ to celebrate the unofficial kick-off of summer, i've put together four easy looks from which to draw inspiration as you plan your holiday outfit: j.crew jumpsuit (TTS -2) || universal thread mules (TTS) ...
if you remember, last fall i posted a comprehensive comparison of madewell and everlane's wide-leg cropped pants. with the wide-leg silhouette just entering the zeitgeist at the time, it proved to be one of my more popular posts. fast-forward six months and the non-skinny style pant is still going strong. it has transcended denim and ...
after eyeing these tops for a few weeks, i recently snagged them at 40% off (i know i speak of it all the time, but seriously, make sure you are signed up for j.crew's emails or check their site often because they offer a promotion nearly every other day!). after i posted about the purchase ...
if you follow me on instagram, you know that i recently asked my followers to help me figure out what to wear for our joint mother's day celebration tomorrow (my parents and my in-laws are joining S and me for lunch). it's currently a tight race between the overalls (top left) and the jeans, cami ...
i feel like my style is going through a bit of renaissance. when i was working a full-time job, i got dressed up every single day. it was certainly fun putting together whimsical looks (i was never a blazer and slacks gal), but it also left me with a closet of pieces that didn't always ...
with barre{tender} the main listing on my resume these days, it's no surprise that i'm in some sort of workout clothing 95% of the time. while i've added new pieces here and there to my sweat collection, it has been some time since i've done a complete workout wardrobe refresh. but with summer just weeks ...
