style, stories & everything in between
y'all know full well that feminine details are one of my love languages. and lucky for me, they seem to be everywhere right now, just in time for spring. when i popped into loft to return a sweater i had purchased on sale, i ended up spying the cutest ruffle-sleeve tee shirts as i idled in line. i ...

i'm back with these jeans! i couldn't help myself, the weather was giving me such summer vibes, i wanted to style them again, this time with my striped peplum top for a fun nautical vibe. while you can never go wrong with classic black and white, sometimes it can feel a little heavy, especially in ...
when it comes to madewell, most days i want to buy all the things. thankfully, i've learned to restrain myself and only pull the trigger on items that i know can pull double duty in both my professional and personal lives. i also try my hardest to only purchase said things while they're on promo ...

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 ...
on saturday night i attended a birthday party for a dear friend's 30th birthday. since i usually opt for jeans on the weekends -whether paired with a ruffled blouse or a simple tee, i thought i'd step it up and dress a little fancier for the occasion. i actually wear this combo as a work ...
