style, stories & everything in between
well hello! my sincerest apologies for the radio silence while S and i were away. after five fabulous days in the windy city we are home again and grateful to be back in sunny and warm weather. midwest cold is a whole different kind of cold, let me tell you. if you were following along ...
if you haven't seen this video yet, stop what you're doing and go watch it. wow, apparently i'm bossy before coffee (truth). but really, the #instagramhusband concept is real and though he's not yet my husband, S knows all too well the responsibilities assumed when you date a fashion blogger. case in point -this photo was taken ...
happy friday! i'm back with part two of my three-part series on how to style a panama hat. since yesterday's look was pretty casual, i wanted to feature an outfit perfect for a warm-weather getaway or a day exploring your own hometown. the next way i love styling my panana hat is... with a midi skirt and ...
i do my best to feature outfits here that i actually wear in my everyday life but sometimes i post an outfit to instagram that wasn't first featured on my site. for those times, i wanted to start a little series cleverly titled, "as seen on instagram" or ASOI for short (because who doesn't love a good acronym?). here are ...
spring has officially sprung and i couldn't be happier. we may have lost an hour of zzz's, but that extra hour of sunlight in the evening really can't be beat! to celebrate the return of non-tights wearing weather (hallelujah!), i remixed my new favorite dress with a panama hat, lace-up flats, and my new hobo bag ...
as evidenced last week (here & here), i've fallen hard for gingham this season -especially in classic black and white. despite being a print, it's demure enough to almost act as a neutral, making it crazy versatile for a number of occasions. since pairing it with my cashmere sweater and pumps last friday, i've also ...
desert weather is all about extremes. it can be 80-degrees during the day but dip into the 40's at night! so for those in-between hours when the sun starts to disappear behind the mountains but the heat of the day still lingers, a backless jumpsuit is the perfect outfit for a low-key evening out. after a ...
denim shorts are a staple in any spring/summer wardrobe, but white denim shorts are perhaps another story. i, myself was skeptical that my closet needed a second pair of denim cut-offs, that is until i saw how cute they were on one of my girlfriends who had paired them with a simple grey tee. there's something just ...
there are few things more classic than a simple white t-shirt. it's timeless, goes with everything, and the perfect canvas for the occasional piece of statement jewelry. much like stripes, i believe one can never own too many well-fitting tees. after being on the hunt to find a perfect white one for years, i finally ...
ever since becoming obsessed with this color-block cardigan from target earlier this season, i've found myself gravitating toward similar silhouettes. so when i received an email from loft last week notifying me that their new arrivals were 40% off, i took the bait and went searching for another sweater to add to my collection. amidst my ...
