if you haven't noticed, the shoulder is having the best year ever. between cold-shoulder styles and the resurgence of last summer's off-the-shoulder trend, showing off your scapula seems to be the new black. while i personally haven't purchased too many blouses that display my decollete (since they're not office appropriate), that doesn't mean i can't ...
an eye on eyelet
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 ...

ruffle wrap skirts
y'all know i'm a separates girl, so when i see a cute (and appropriately lengthed!) skirt, it's hard not to make it mine. when i spotted this particular navy beauty on loft's website a few weeks ago, i instantly fell in love. i mean, can we talk about the ruffled hem for a minute? after spotting the ...
the pants that almost weren’t
let me tell you a fun story about these pants. they were the pants that almost weren't. as soon as i spotted them amongst madewell's newest crop of arrivals, i decided i needed to make them mine so i ordered them in a small and anxiously awaited their arrival. unfortunately when i finally had a chance ...

millenial pink
as noted earlier this week, my affections for the color pink stem all the way back to my youth. though you'd be hard pressed to find a lot of it in my current wardrobe, that doesn't mean i don't still swoon over the happy hue when i see it at all of my favorite stores ...
stripes & bare shoulders
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, ...
loft’s spring 2017 collection
another day, another spring collection to swoon over. today's pieces hail from loft, a brand i'd say i normally turn to for closet basics, but whose latest crop of new arrivals are speaking to my stripe-loving, feminine-detailing loving soul. i had every intention of featuring some of my favorite styles in my second installment of "fitting room ...
florals for spring (groundbreaking)
name that movie, go! after last week's post sharing my newfound affections for club monaco, i took advantage of the recent shopbop sale and treated myself to this pretty little maxi skirt. even with the discount, it was definitely more than i normally spend on a garment, but i knew i could style it a zillion ...
