i don’t think you’re ready for this wellie || wellies for day & play
growing up in san diego, the daily forecast didn't often deviate from "sunny and 75." so whenever it rained as a little girl, i'd pull on my wellies and raincoat, grab my umbrella, and dance around in the driveway beneath the raindrops. fast-forward two dozen years and though i may no longer dance in my driveway, ...

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 ...

retro vibe
about seven years ago, a girlfriend from college and i traveled to steamboat springs for our mutual friend's wedding. i don't want to talk about the tiny plane we had to take to get there, but trauma aside, steamboat is the CUTEST little resort town and it was such a treat having the opportunity to ...

one flannel, three ways || high rise skinnies & d’orsay flats

daily outfit || sweater weather
y'all. yesterday a crazy thing happened for san diego. we had real weather! it rained on and off most of the day, which may have not been the best thing for my hair, but boy oh boy was it a nice change of pace to the crazy heat wave we've endured all summer long. though it ...
daily outfit: hats & dots
personally, black jeans have always evoked a bit of rebellion. which is probably why it has taken me so long to own a pair. to offset their edginess, i coupled my new pair of black denim with a frilly-sleeved polka dot top and bow-adorned fedora for our last day in santa barbara. it ended up ...
