style, stories & everything in between
true story: i was essentially bald until about the age of two. so much so that people often complimented my mother on what a cute son she had instead of daughter as we waited in the check-out line at the grocery store. to help my cause, i think mom my tried her best to adhere tiny ...
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 ...
at first blush, i would totally understand why anyone would think that i spend a lot of money on clothes. and to an extent, yes, in the words of carrie bradshaw herself, "i like my money where i can see it, hanging in my closet." but i will also be the first to tell you that momma ...
do you ever stumble upon something buried in the back of your closet and think, "hey, i totally forgot i had you!" well it happened to me this weekend when i was looking for a pair of jeans to wear with my ruffled top. since i paired this top with a light-wash skinny jean the last ...
what better way to celebrate one last day of summer than by wearing a crop top? especially if said crop has pom poms! i may not have made it to the beach to get some color on these abs but i've worked all summer long to keep them in check so why not show them ...

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 ...
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 ...
hello my loves! it's hump day! to celebrate, i fixed you up a hump day treat. today i teamed up with miss carylee of more pieces of me to bring you a little mid-week style inspiration. after last week's flannel feature, i loved the idea of taking one closet staple and styling it for different occasions. this week's focus? ...
