style, stories & everything in between
jean shopping. i can't think of two scarier words (except maybe swimsuit shopping and whale watching). thankfully, stores like madewell exist to remove said fear. after hearing the praises of the store's higher-rise skinny jean for months, i finally decided to try them on for myself and quickly learned what all the fuss was about. ...
you may recall this dress from my post about neutrals earlier in the year. in thinking about what to pack for our trip, i knew it would be a great staple to bring along as it could be worn in a variety of occasions. in this case, i chose to wear it on our venture into ...
to celebrate my fancy birthday dinner out on state street, i slipped into something a bit more glamorous. my golden mermaid skirt (as i've come to name it) is a statement piece all its own, so i kept the remaining pieces of my outfit neutral, adding a pop of color with my favorite bright pink ...
we found this gorgeous tiled wall around the corner from our hotel room at the brisas del mar. it proved to be the perfect backdrop for cataloging my outfits during our santa barbara trip. first up in the bunch is this outfit compliments of madewell. in search of a festive birthday ensemble, i stumbled upon this ...
it was love at first sight. but let's be real here, i've never met a onesie i didn't like. so it made sense that i would fall instantly for this indigo linen jumpsuit after seeing it on madewell's website. our love affair only grew deeper when i actually tried it on after a recent visit to ...
despite having only spent five years in the 1980's, there were some fashion trends i rocked well into the 90's, too. one trend being the tied-up shirt phase. for some reason, instead of buying a shirt that actually fit our body, we thought it would be more fashionable to go up a size and use ...
as i'm working on the recap of S and my adventures in the pacific northwest (it's coming, i promise), i thought it might be fun to share some of my daily vacation outfits i wore over the course of our trip. with the weather cold and rainy throughout our stay in vancouver, i was thankful for layers, rain ...
after 18 long months, the rivera clan took a little vacation! all four of us + papa kurt and gogo just returned from four glorious days at la quinta resort in la quinta, california -also known to us as heaven on earth. we've been coming to the resort for YEARS (it was the site of ...
i don't know about you, but i feel like the weeks are flying by (says the girl whose babies aren't earthside yet, ha) ! i can't believe tomorrow is may 1st! if you've been following me on instagram, you know that we've bumped up (no pun intended) the twins' doctors visits to twice a week ...
another week of quarantine down and another week of motivating myself to get dressed in real clothes daily in an attempt to bolster morale. i will say, i did miss a day (i blame an afternoon walk in the summer-like heat that took everything out of me), but for the most part, i am pretty ...
