style, stories & everything in between
it's not everyday that my favorite store offers a BIG discount so when it happens, you have to act fast! despite the fact that we're smack dab in the middle of summer, retailers are already starting to move out their warm-weather collections to make way for pre-fall (i'd be lying if i said i wasn't ...
in exchange for a post about what to wear on america's birthday on thursday (since the outfits would be pretty similar to those i created for memorial day a little over a month ago), i decided to take the opportunity to put together a few looks featuring my new madewell denim wrap dress that arrived ...
you may remember from this recent post that i've jumped aboard the belt bag (aka 2019's version of the fanny pack) train and i must say, i'm loving its convenience. as we move into the heart of the summer season, i know this bag will only continue to be utilized as we enjoy outdoor activities ...
if there is a shoe that has taken the fashion world by storm over the last two years, it's the mule. the backless wonder has become synonymous with versatility, comfort, and ease --essentially the perfect shoe for a girl-on-the-go. and nowhere can one find a better version of the mule than at madewell. while their ...
i always take fashion trends with a grain of salt. i oftentimes have to ask myself before purchasing the 'it' item of the season, "am i buying this because i genuinely like it/see it thriving in my wardrobe or just because i might have FOMO if i'm the only one not participating in the trend?" ...
if you remember, last fall i posted a comprehensive comparison of madewell and everlane's wide-leg cropped pants. with the wide-leg silhouette just entering the zeitgeist at the time, it proved to be one of my more popular posts. fast-forward six months and the non-skinny style pant is still going strong. it has transcended denim and ...
you may remember these jeans from my recent madewell try-on session. along with this ruffled sweater tank, this pair of denim with a slimmer leg silhouette made it home with me that day. i think of all the pieces i tried on, these jeans were the most popular among readers/instagram followers. at least three of ...
i used to think my favorite season to shop for was fall, but madewell's spring collection is REALLY having me second guess myself. i popped into the store yesterday to do a thorough try-on of some of their newest arrivals for the season and fell in love with just about every single thing. i'm still ...
you may remember this top from last week's post featuring floral blouses under $100. i took my own recommendation and popped into madewell for an in-person try-on and affirmed my original impression -i loved it! i even bought my mom one so we can be twins (and take advantage of the 20% discount). while it ...
i'm no stranger to bandanas. i took a big liking to them last year and wore them to death all summer long (i styled them here and here). somewhere in the fall/winter i took an unintentional hiatus from wearing them, but with warmer weather headed our way, i feel like the spring is the perfect ...
