style, stories & everything in between
of all of the trends to come back in recent years, the one i've waffled with the most is the return of my 7th grade uniform -denim overalls. after trying on a pair at madewell in preparation for my first insider event, i definitely felt nostalgic for my mid-90's self (minus the bangs and bad skin). but ...
it's the weekend, it's the weekend! and aside from that glorious fact, rumor has it (cue adele) the temperatures are going to be much nicer to us than they were last week. upper 70's may still not be boot weather, but at least i can entertain the idea of wearing sleeves. and because weather talk is so fascinating, i'll ...
TGIF, TGIF! after coming off the high of a fabulous weekend away, it has been rough getting back into the swing of things. that's why i'm so glad we made it to friday and have another opportunity to live it up again! aside from a little grooming (hair & dentist appointments), this weekend is all ...
we're just going to call this maintenance weekend. tomorrow i have not one but three appointments -one with my nutritionist, one with my dentist, and one with the hair salon to get primed and primped from the inside out. i must say, all parties are in desperate need of some TLC so i'm pretty pumped ...
ready, set, weekend! i can't help but feel as though i get more and more excited about the weekend these days. maybe it's the fact that my weekdays are so busy with work and class and miscellaneous errands that i can't wait to have forty-eight hours of free time to sit and breathe and watch ...
another week has finally come to a close, marking the kick-off of another fabulous weekend in paradise. for me, that means showering another bride-to-be (my cousin) and soaking up every second i have with B who will be in town for a wedding. but before i send you on your way to celebrate another two day work-vacay, ...
so my second favorite holiday is tomorrow (thanksgiving being the first, natch) -independence day (just like the movie with will smith). clearly as a proud american, i love celebrating our country's birthday on principle. but i also love the fourth of july for, wait for it, the fashion. there's just something about having the perfect fourth of july outfit makes celebrating the ...
happy friday! and for those of you who are superstitious, happy friday the 13th (cue spooky noises and theme song from the haunted mansion ride at disneyland). since i've worked a total of six days over the course of the past two weeks, logging a full 40 hours this week was a cold splash of reality. but ...
since the weather today is finally starting to feel a little like fall, i thought it quite apropos to discuss my affections for autumnal dressing -in particular my love affair with all things plaid. my madness for plaidness, if you will. i love it for blouses and trousers and skirts and most definitely on members of the ...
let me tell you a story about kendi. i stumbled upon her blog a few years back and immediately fell in love. with her fashion, with her hilarious and perfectly sarcastically composed commentary, with her adorable little texas life. furthermore, she single-handedly restored my faith in the gap franchise, so my wardrobe is very thankful ...
