style, stories & everything in between
as the days get longer and the weather starts to warm up (yay!), i find myself a bit bored of my current maternity capsule wardrobe. while it may feel as though we're approaching the finish line of this pregnancy, the truth is, we still have at least 12 weeks left. and over the course of ...
whenever i wear this outfit (or some form of it), i always think of that quote from the movie mean girls --"i'm not a regular mom, i'm a cool mom." there's just something about a band tee and faux leather that makes me feel like i'm way hipper than i know myself to be. to ...
a top benefit of being one of the last of your friends to start a family is the hand-me-downs you graciously receive (this benefit second only to the amazing advice you also receive). every body responds differently to pregnancy (especially when you're the only of your closest friends who is expecting twins), so sharing clothes ...
once i started gaining weight from this pregnancy, the first thing i found no longer fit were my jeans (they gave up around week 9). truthfully, the idea of wearing buttoned pants sounded terrible so i wasn't completely heartbroken, but i figured it might be nice to own at least one pair of bump-friendly denim ...
the further i get into this pregnancy, the more comfort becomes a top priority. if it doesn't feel good on my body, most likely this momma isn't going to wear it. as part of our christmas present this year, natalie gifted team natalie borton a pair of birdies flats. i opted for the taupe leather since ...
after my most recent optometrist appointment, i was advised that it might be a good idea to swap out my normal sunnies for a pair with my new prescription. there was no question where i wanted to go to search for a new pair --warby parker! i headed to our local store and scoured the ...
after seeing this skirt on a few of my style instagram friends, i finally ordered it to see what the hype was all about. after trying it on, i immediately understood why it had become a cult favorite. it's like wearing a cozy sweater on the lower-half of your body and the elastic waistband makes ...
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 ...
despite the fact that it's still not really quite time for jeans (#indiansummer), i've been dying to shoot this pair for the blog. you may remember them from my recent(ish) post highlighting favorites from madewell's fall arrivals, or perhaps you spotted them on my instagram. either way, they are too good not to have ...
i hope you had a wonderful 4th! we were not only blessed by great weather (hello summer, FINALLY!), but also by the presence of my parents as they came over for their first meal at our house (it only took us a year to host them, whoopsies). we dined al fresco, noshed on a feast ...
