style, stories & everything in between
after a two-day heatwave, it was back to sweaters and jeans this weekend. spring, you're a fickle gal, i tell you. in all honesty, i'll take the cooler temps if it at least means clear skies. to encourage the sun to peek its way from behind the clouds, i kept my color palette golden ...
i don't know about you but i had two denim skirts (from abercrombie!) that i rotated between most of my college career. but once i entered the corporate world, my use for alternative denim styles gradually fizzled (i worked in a non-denim environment). now that i'm no longer working a traditional 9-5, i've rediscovered my ...

in my attempts at 'konmari-ing' our closets recently, i rediscovered my old pair of flare jeans. i was close to adding them to the consignment/donation pile when something in my gut stopped me. i placed them on a shelf instead and told myself i'd think about them a little longer before making a final ...
despite my desire to start busting out some of my spring pieces, it has been unseasonably cold for san diego standards so as you can see, i've been living in this cozy pom pom cardigan. i'm finding it to be the perfect layering piece over otherwise warm-weather blouses so i can still get my spring ...
after searching for months, i think i've found the perfect denim skirt for me. while i originally envisioned something shorter, i've realized i'm much more comfortable with a slightly longer hemline -which is why the midi silhouette is ideal. what i love about this particular style are the asymmetrical buttons and the darting down the ...
it may be a new year but some things never change --like my love affair with polka dots. as soon as i spotted this feminine polka dot blouse at madewell before the holidays i immediately threw it in my cart. i loved the button-front detail and the ruffled sleeves. given my things for all things ...
as it does nearly every season, it seems, leopard had a moment this fall/winter. everywhere you looked, the animal print was adorning everything from midi skirts to headbands, sweaters and scarves. as i've gotten older, i've become a bit more prudent with my purchases, taking care to really assess if a garment deserves a place ...
it wouldn't be a holiday without a little tulle, right? for our annual christmas eve dinner with my parents, i decided to pull out this oldie but goodie tulle skirt from the back of my closet. i've had it for over half a decade but it never ceases to inspire me in putting together a ...
children of the 80's and early 90's rejoice -scrunchies are back in a big way. after sifting through various bow-adorned hair accessories this season, i finally settled on one that worked for me (and this horse-like mane). madewell velvet bow scrunchie (also comes in pink!) madewell eyelet top (small) || everlane wide leg crop (2) madewell harper mule ...
