style, stories & everything in between
happy new year's eve, y'all! can you believe it's already time to say goodbye to another year? in anticipation of its closing, i penned a little message (and recap of) to the year 2015. enjoy! dear 2015, you were a blur. i know that's cliche to say but it's honestly how i feel. somewhere between ringing in your ...
between travelling, teaching, and finishing up my article for darling (thank you SO much for all of the love!) last week, style posts have unfortunately fallen by the wayside. however, if you're a subscriber to my style instagram handle (@stylebyshawnaleeann), you know i always have time for a quick morning selfie on my way out to work. so ...
happy friday! did you have a good week? i certainly hope so! after a weekend away, i'm grateful for a slower change of pace these next two days. since the weather is supposed to heat up yet again (enough already!), S and i have planned a matinee movie date to see the intern on saturday followed by ...
as you're reading this week's edition of it's friday, i'm in love, S and i are on a plane headed to country music city, USA. yes, it's true, i'm making my eighth (EIGHTH!) pilgrimage to nashville and this time i'm so excited to have my partner-in-crime also in tow. in addition to having my love with me ...
as you may or may not know, i was a cheerleader for three years in high school. nearly every day after classes ended, my squad and i would change out of our school uniforms and into our practice gear to prepare for the big weekend game. with hours to go before dinner, i always packed ...
i know i say this every month but how is it already the last weekend of september? this year is on the fast track to christmas and i actually freaked myself out this week thinking it might be time to start brainstorming what gifts to get everyone this year. then i realized that i should at ...
welp, it's already the last friday of august! fall is officially in sight and i could not be more excited. another reason to be excited? the fact that S and i have zero plans this weekend. seriously, zilch. so i'm anticipating a lot of relaxing, perhaps a daily outfit photo shoot or two, and definitely ...
you know, birthdays and i have always had sort of a love/hate relationship. i’ve never been too scared of adding another candle to my cake -age truly is, just a number. rather, each birthday was just another reminder of what i hadn’t accomplished, or what life stages i hadn’t quite reached yet. but this year feels ...
happy friday, y'all! i can't believe it's nearly the end of march already, how is easter just three weeks away? mmm, cadburry eggs... right, back to my point. it has been another full week and it looks like the spring/summer-like temps are hanging in town a little longer -perfect timing for a weekend of outdoor activities: a second wedding, a ...
TGIF! so i thought last weekend was warm, but this weekend is supposed to be another ten degrees hotter! looks like we've bypassed spring and already arrived at summer (also, i'm the worst if you're reading this from anywhere other than southern california). despite not loving the heat, i am grateful that the forecast is so agreeable as ...
