style, stories & everything in between
well hello! my sincerest apologies for the radio silence while S and i were away. after five fabulous days in the windy city we are home again and grateful to be back in sunny and warm weather. midwest cold is a whole different kind of cold, let me tell you. if you were following along ...
every year as the temperatures start to warm up, i swap out my favorite skinny jeans for shorts. since converting most of my wardrobe over to a neutral palette, i normally opt for blue or white denim cut-offs to help me get through the brunt of summer since they easily mix and match with just ...
as you're well-aware, gingham print has captured my heart this season (see past looks here, here & here). in fact, in addition to the skirt and blouse below, i may have also just added a two-piece matching gingham outfit because clearly i have a small problem. but how can you blame me? gingham is such a ...
ever since i can remember we've been a tennis family. a tennis-playing, tennis-watching, tennis-loving family. in fact, to prove our devotion for the sport, on and off for the past five+ years my parents and i have attended the annual bnp paribas open tennis tournament at the stunning indian wells tennis garden in the desert. last weekend, we ...
oh hey, this is me in a bathing suit. after perusing target for the perfect suits to take with me on our desert getaway (t-minus five days and omg i cannot wait), i finally decided upon this little black scalloped bandeau from their vanilla beach collection (i also purchased one in white). side note: these are made for teeny tiny humans ...
as soon as S put the basket he gave me for christmas on my bike, i've been dying for a reason to get out and use it. sunday morning before the big game seemed like the perfect opportunity to get a little cardio in before an afternoon of slothing and snacking. it may still technically be ...
in my non-9-5 life, i'm a barre instructor. which means that in addition to making clients suffer through #hurtssogood exercises like extension and fetal, i get to wear a britney mic and in turn, fulfill a lifelong dream. though barre classes have become quite the exercise trend in recent years, i still find myself splitting ...
welcome back! i'm excited to reveal the last two looks from my four boots, four ways post (psst, here's a refresher of yesterday's feature). while yesterday's pairs were more closet staples, today's boots would probably fall under the "novelty" category. i may not wear these as often, but when i do, you best be sure i style ...
okay so i know i just finished up my "no stressing holiday dressing" series last week, but i couldn't help myself, i have more holiday looks to share! clearly i love playing dress-up this time of year but can you blame me? 'tis the season for twinkle and tulle! today i'm very excited to be pairing up ...
one of my favorite things about this time of year is honoring family traditions. when everything seems to be in constant flux, it's nice to have something you know you can look forward to year after year. besides going to a movie on christmas day, every year my family and i go out to dinner ...
