i feel like i'm still adjusting to the weather in san diego after nearly a week of chicago's chilly temps. and though it is significantly warmer here than in the windy city, may grey is alive and well and making it hard to grab for tanks and cut-offs just yet. so this weekend i mixed seasonal wear ...
ASOI: pastel palette
happy hump day! i'm back with a second installment of as seen on instagram! i usually shy away from pastels since they tend to wash-out my fair skin tone, but something about the arrival of spring has had me in the mood for a lighter color palette. so in getting dressed for church one sunday, i ...
two outfits to wear on easter
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 ...
gingham midi skirt for day & play
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 ...
polka dot jumpsuit for day & play
i really try to not use shopping as therapy but sometimes when i'm feeling anxious and in need of a little break from my never-ending list of to-do's, a quick perusal through anthropologie has the power to completely change my mood (i'm convinced it's the smell of volcano candles and expensive clothing). feeling a little unsettled after ...
two hats, two ways
i think there are two kinds of people in this world. the kind that wear hats and the kind that don't. please don't take this to mean that one can't become the other. perhaps like many of you, i was once not a hat person. but then i saw the light and realized that hats ...
cozy knit for day & play
once upon a time i found the perfect off-white sweater. it was the goldilocks of fabrics -not too light-weight and not too bulky, just as appropriate to wear on a chilly summer evening as it was on an unseasonably warm winter day. i loved that sweater and i wore it often. so often that one ...
don’t get mad, get plaid || plaid vest for day & play
happy hump day, y'all! we're halfway through plaid week and i don't know about you but i'm feeling much more into the holiday spirit. the weather here in san diego hasn't been very reminiscent of fall, so shooting these looks in the comfort of my own home has allowed me to at least pretend it's ...
don’t get mad, get plaid || plaid shirt for day & play
it's day two of my "don't get mad, get plaid" series (here's a refresher on look #1), and i'm excited to showcase another way to style plaid. today's outfits center around a classic plaid button-down. i'm not too embarrassed to admit that a healthy portion of my shirt collection boasts this festive pattern. my go-to store for ...
one flannel, three ways || high rise skinnies & d’orsay flats
here we are, the third and final look in the series one flannel, three ways -- what i like to call my "date night outfit." truth be told, i wore this look out to dinner on saturday evening with S and my parents. if you hadn't realized by now, i'm a big fan of the high-rise ...
