as a native southern californian, "may grey" is a topic i know all too well. while most of the country starts to see the first signs of summer, san diego is usually covered in pockets of marine layer and cloudy skies this time of year. i suppose it's the trade-off of having gorgeous weather all ...
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 ...
happy friday! i apologize for the radio silence this week, with my bachelorette festivities the primary focus last weekend, we were unable to sneak in any photo shoots. i assure you that regular scheduled programming will resume this coming week. in the meantime, i've rounded up my looks from the past six days with links ...
happy friday/first week of november! also how is it already november?! anyway, it was a short week for me since i took today off to start my bachelorette weekend celebrations a little early (my best friend since 7th grade is arriving this morning!), but i still managed to round-up some of the ensembles i sported over the ...
as you may have already deduced, i'm not the typical bride. so though it's totally a rite of passage, the thought of having a "typical" bachelorette party kind of made me cringe. but then one of my best girls told me to think of it less as a bachelorette party (complete with penis straws and ...
it has been almost five months to the day since i found, fell in love, and said "yes! to the dress" but on sunday, my dress and i were reunited and this whole "we're actually getting married in three months" thing started to feel REALLY real. i would imagine there's a common fear amongst brides to be that ...
just in time for the weekend, it's the latest installment of my daily outfits worn over the past week and a half. hope you enjoy! banana republic sweater (similar) || madewell skirt (similar) || charles david shoes target tights || natalie borton necklace (similar style) everlane sweater || express skirt (similar) || target tights || charles david shoes natalie borton necklace (c/o) ...
before we ventured to dinner on saturday evening, S and i took a drive down PCH. though fall officially began last thursday, you'd never know it by the weekend's weather. the beach was abuzz with locals and tourists alike savoring the sunny conditions. i had planned on wearing this top again with my flare jeans ...
as one who is a sucker for ruffles, it would make sense that i'm also a fan of peplum. because isn't peplum just a ruffle for your waist? exactly. i already mentioned how obsessed i am with j.crew's latest collection and my wardrobe is quickly becoming proof of that. i have added not one, not ...
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 ...
