style, stories & everything in between
it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ponchogirl? one of the fall season's hottest trends was the resurgence of the poncho -or as i like to call it "a fashionable cape." because it's normal to pretend you're a superhero after halloween, right? phew, i'm glad you agree. anyway, i love when old trends come back in style again because ...
i think there are two kinds of people in this world. the kind that wear hats and the kind that don't. please don't take this to mean that one can't become the other. perhaps like many of you, i was once not a hat person. but then i saw the light and realized that hats ...
after growing up in the golden era of the britney spears message tee, i swore off anything text-adorned (except of course my tried and true abercrombie & fitch sweats, natch) for quite some time. but leave it to madewell and j.crew to rope me back into the early 2000's trend. with kitschy little sayings like "bien ...
i've never been a procrastinator. if anything, i'm a procrastinator's complete antithesis. if an assignment was due friday, i'd have it finished by monday night. though viewed as a bit extreme by my peers, it certainly made high school a lot less stressful. but english papers aside, there is one area of my life where i ...
don't look now but thanksgiving is just ONE week from today! holy turkeys, y'all! let me first start off by saying that thanksgiving is hands down my favorite holiday for the fact that it incorporates some of the best things in life -family, food, and football. you guys, it's basically a day focused around eating, how ...
happy hump day, y'all! we're halfway through plaid week and i don't know about you but i'm feeling much more into the holiday spirit. the weather here in san diego hasn't been very reminiscent of fall, so shooting these looks in the comfort of my own home has allowed me to at least pretend it's ...
it's day two of my "don't get mad, get plaid" series (here's a refresher on look #1), and i'm excited to showcase another way to style plaid. today's outfits center around a classic plaid button-down. i'm not too embarrassed to admit that a healthy portion of my shirt collection boasts this festive pattern. my go-to store for ...
i used to be the queen of accessorizing. at any given time you could find me in a statement necklace, an oversized flower pin, or a bowed headband in my hair. and then there were those elusive moments where i thought it best to wear all three at once. clearly i needed an accessory intervention. sadly i ...
hello my loves! it's hump day! to celebrate, i fixed you up a hump day treat. today i teamed up with miss carylee of more pieces of me to bring you a little mid-week style inspiration. after last week's flannel feature, i loved the idea of taking one closet staple and styling it for different occasions. this week's focus? ...
remember that thing you saw at madewell, tried on, fell in love with, but was too sticker-shocked to pull the trigger? chances are, it's on MAJOR sale today! my favorite store is offering a whopping 40% off already reduced sale prices using the promo code EXTRA40. the sale goes through monday, october 19th, but with some ...
