style, stories & everything in between
now that memorial day has come and gone, i feel like summer is officially here. that means two (of many) things: white denim and summer fruit. S and i attended a barreBQ (a barbecue with my favorite barre babes) a couples weeks back and i was in charge of bringing the fruit salad. i may ...
when the temperatures rise, the last thing you want to do (especially if your house isn't equipped with air) is worry about your outfit. come summertime, i want easy pieces that i can throw on without thinking too much about it. for me, those pieces look like breezy rompers and light-weight skirts with lots of ...
you may remember this wall from an old #shawnaleeannstyle post late last year. it's the creation of artist, roy mcmakin, and part of the murals of la jolla art exhibition featuring large art installations all over the city. i'd be lying if i said that making a pit stop by the favorite color mural for a ...
as the temperatures start to heat up, easy, breezy clothing becomes a necessity. that's why this time of year, i start looking for light-weight pieces that will keep me cool in the summer heat. with built-in temperature controls, eyelet is the perfect fabric to sport all season long. plus its daintiness strikes the perfect balance of ...

happy #nationalstripesday! as i mentioned in last week's post, j.crew created today's holiday to honor the humble stripe which has been an integral part of their brand since its inception in the early 1980's. never one to miss an opportunity to celebrate a pattern that makes up a good portion of my wardrobe, i went all ...
if you follow me on instagram (which i would love if you did!), you are well aware of a couple of things -one, we got our wedding photos back last weekend and i've been spamming up a storm and two, S and i also rang in our second month of marriage. so to celebrate both things, ...
