style, stories & everything in between
for christmas, my mother-in-law and i surprised S and his dad with tickets to an NHL hockey game featuring a match-up of their two favorite teams -the anaheim ducks and the los angeles kings. though i grew up loving the mighty ducks trilogy (gordon bombay forever), my loyalty will forever lie with the kings as it is ...
when it comes to dressing for the holidays, i always go fancier for christmas eve and then keep it more casual for christmas day. after presents, my family and i always saw a movie on christmas day so i guess i always dressed for comfort over anything else. madewell trousers || j.crew chambray || natalie borton necklace ...
with the holiday season upon us, i have been thinking a lot about the traditions S and i want to start as a new little family of two. and one of those traditions is getting a REAL christmas tree every year -even if it's just a little one to put in the corner of our ...
it's no secret that i love a feminine detail. give me a ruffle and i'm a happy gal. but there's something about fall dressing that makes me channel a more minimalistic, almost masculine vibe. so when i found this perfect slouchy beanie on one of my recent visits to the madewell store, i knew it ...

on saturday afternoon, S and i ventured out to conquer a few miscellaneous errands around town. admittedly, getting dressed on saturdays is a struggle. and let me tell you why. as you may already know, on saturdays i teach back to back studio barre classes until noon. so by the time i get home, nearly half of ...
if there was a material that signified summer to me, it would be seersucker (gingham would be a close second, of course). despite the crazy heat wave we've been experiencing, i can't help but feel summer is already winding down and before we know it it'll be time for boots, scarves, and sweaters. so this ...
i threw this combo on to do a quick sushi run on saturday night because a) it was WAY too hot to cook and b) sushi is delicious. i've been experimenting with tying button-downs around my waist lately and i love how easily it creates an hourglass shape on an otherwise billowy silhouette. now that ...
as i mentioned in our latest S & S wedding update, we visited our venue this weekend. given that it is first and foremost a winery we mixed a little business with pleasure and treated ourselves to a little glass of wine while we chatted with our coordinators/florists. i opted for a glass of moscato and S, ...
similar dress || j.crew chambray || madewell shoes || similar hat & bag if you peruse the #shawnaleeannstyle tab on my site or on instagram, chances are you've already seen these outfits. but just in case you haven't, i wanted to share a few ensembles i've worn recently that i've really loved. most of them incorporate ...
