  after putting together this outfit, i realized that maybe i've been wrong about outerwear all these years. maybe jackets could be power players in my wardrobe, i just had to find the right ones with the right fit. enter this cute bell-sleeved number i had seen on one of my instagram style crushes.   it had been idling in my ...

  let me introduce you to my new favorite silhouette -the wide-leg trouser. after snagging these sailor pants (coming to the blog tomorrow!) about a month ago, i jumped on madewell's recent 30% off promo and picked up a pair of their caldwell wide-leg trousers as well. since i do a bulk of my shopping online, i ...

  let's be real, i've never met a jumpsuit i didn't love. in fact, if i had it my way, i'd probably wear jumpsuits exclusively. so in addition to snagging a couple white dresses from the tobi team, i also picked up this amazing black jumpsuit. worn alone, it's definitely a much sexier look than i'm used to ...

  after three days of fairly clear skies, it was about time the rain caught up with us by our fourth day in chicago -especially since the original forecast had called for nearly constant showers. after sulking in our hotel room for a bit saturday morning, we decided to take fate into our own hands and ...

  when we were checking into the la quinta resort during our mini vacation there last month, i overheard the concierge mention to a guest that this is a busy time of year for the desert cities. first come the president's day/ski week vacationers, then the tennis fans to attend the bnp paribas open (of which ...
