style, stories & everything in between
who knew i could love a fanny pack so much? i'm back for a third time to feature my beloved madewell simple pouch belt bag (see how i've styled it previously here & here). this time i'm teaming up with three of my favorite internet (and IRL) friends -ashley (@lovealwaysashleyj), conni (@artinthefind) & christin (@cbsyled) ...
sometimes when you buy something new, you love it so much that you find yourself wearing it all the time. case in point -these jeans. i can't get enough of their baggy, boyfriend goodness. for this weekend's date night, i paired them with my cream sweater tank (old from earlier in the year) and my ...
despite the fact that it's still not really quite time for jeans (#indiansummer), i've been dying to shoot this pair for the blog. you may remember them from my recent(ish) post highlighting favorites from madewell's fall arrivals, or perhaps you spotted them on my instagram. either way, they are too good not to have ...
believe it or not, labor day weekend is upon us. while i can't believe how quickly this summer flew by, i'd be lying if i said i wasn't really excited to embrace fall (as you are well aware, ha). besides having an extra day to spend with my husband, one of the best things about ...
madewell released some new fall arrivals this morning and of course i had to share my favorite things! this collection is full of quintessential 'fall' patterns, textures, and color palettes (think plaid, tweed, houndstooth, olive, rust, and mustard -oh my!) and it's making me want to go out and buy a pumpkin ASAP. below are ...
this week's date night was a cause for celebration --not only for the fact that we received SO MUCH good news about our fertility journey, but equally as important -it was my step dad's birthday weekend! so we celebrated all the things with dinner at a local steakhouse. everlane wide leg crop pant (TTS) || ...
yesterday S and i did something we've never done over the course of our five year relationship --we went to the san diego zoo's safari park! my mom's friend had passes that were expiring so we took advantage of her generosity and took a day trip to the african desert/australian outback to spend time with ...
if you thought my animal print obsession was just a summer fling, think again. leopard print is coming with me right into fall (and probably through the holidays as well). especially since my madewell regan boots* in the gorgeous calf-hair leopard print just arrived last week (after being on back order for months!). like most ...
they say good things come to those who wait and that definitely rang true for these gorgeous leopard booties. my mom ordered them for my birthday (which was in june) in early may and was promptly notified that they were back ordered until late july. they finally arrived last week so instead of birthday boots ...
as you may know, my madewell influencer event was this past saturday. after years of being a devout madewell shopper, it was a dream come true to host my own event for family, friends, and the general public. attendees enjoyed delicious donuts and coffee, a generous discount, and access to all of madewell's cute new ...
