style, stories & everything in between
if there was one piece of clothing that screams summer to me, it's the simple cotton dress. when the temperatures heat up, i find breezy sundresses to be my saving grace. this black and white one was a steal at j.crew factory a couple summers ago and luckily they brought it back again this year! the ...
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 ...
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 ...
you guys! can you believe easter weekend is already upon us? i'm not gonna lie, it's totally throwing me off being so early this year. but ready or not, the bunny arrives this sunday, so whether your easter celebrations are the type that include a morning church service and buffet brunch or a casual backyard potluck ...
as we've long-since established, i'm a sucker for stripes. and black and white. and well, really pretty dresses. so when i spotted this dress in banana republic, it was like all of my favorite things had gotten together and made a baby. and that baby was the perfect silk drop-waist dress. aside from the fact that ...
as evidenced last week (here & here), i've fallen hard for gingham this season -especially in classic black and white. despite being a print, it's demure enough to almost act as a neutral, making it crazy versatile for a number of occasions. since pairing it with my cashmere sweater and pumps last friday, i've also ...
welcome back! if you've just stopped by -first of all, welcome! secondly, this valentine's day-themed post had so many photos in it, i made the executive decision to split it into two parts. part one featured ensembles for a low key celebration. so conversely, today's outfits are all about stepping up your fashion game to make ...
it's not often i can wrangle my photog to step away from behind the camera and join me in front of it but i bribed him with snacks (girl scout cookies, specifically) so here we are. truthfully i have never been a big fan of valentine's day. but maybe that's because i never really had a valentine ...
when i think of fringe i think of bangs and that's enough to send shivers down my spine. mostly because every time i think bringing back the "side bang" is a good idea i almost instantaneously regret it. but today's fringe has nothing to do with hair. instead, it has to everything to do with ...
