style, stories & everything in between
file under things i love: coffee, brussels sprouts, the bravo network, cloudy days, and a good sleeve detail. it's true, give me a frilled/feminine/exaggerated sleeve and i'm a happy girl. right now puff sleeves are having a moment. the slightly billowy shape seems to be 2019's version of 1980's shoulder pad. personally i love the ...
popping in on a saturday to bring you a quick rundown of a few cute things currently on super sale at loft right now. enjoy 40% off your purchase with code FALLFEST. in honor of the sale (and the fact that loft has some CUTE wardrobe basics in their current collection), i stopped by the store ...
due to the time sensitivity of these sales, i'm popping in a little early this week to bring you a 40% off sale edition of fitting room fables because some some discounts don't deserve to be missed. i snuck into anthropologie and loft this afternoon to peruse their sale racks and albeit a small offering, i ...
our easter celebrations took us a little further inland than usual (to S's aunt's house), which meant warmer temperatures for our afternoon gathering. i took full advantage of that by busting out this embroidered off-the-shoulder top from last summer (similar here). it pairs perfectly with my white denim shorts, or in this case, i tucked ...

in san diego, our version of "winter" would make any mid-westerner or east coaster laugh. i've lived here my whole life and never needed anything heavier than a denim or leather jacket to keep me warm from christmas through easter. so i tend to be pretty picky with which pieces of outerwear i invest in ...
after a few seasons, my heeled booties were looking a little worse for wear. so in thinking about my wishlist for fall, a fresh pair of booties was definitely top on my list. after striking out at the nordstrom anniversary sale in july, i finally stumbled upon this adorable fringe pair on major sale at ...
i recently took inventory of my hat collection and donated a couple styles that no longer suited me. after years of trial and error, i have found that wide-brimmed styles balance out my ample dome, baseball caps should only be purchased from the men's department, and i can wear a beanie, as long as it's ...
after picking up some goodies for the upcoming season over the labor day weekend, i've already begun outfit planning in my head. for me, it's all about incorporating the new styles with existing pieces in my closet. not only does this strategy help me assess whether the new purchase will have staying power in my ...
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 ...
