style, stories & everything in between
i used to joke during my last months of pregnancy that i only got dressed up for doctor's visits and it's proving to be the case with postpartum life as well. today i had my official 6-week post-op check-up and i'm proud to report i got cleared to resume all normal activity -most notably working ...
after i exited the corporate world, i definitely felt a shift in my personal style --most notably in my love for dresses and skirts. for 11 years my jeans were reserved only for weekends, and all of a sudden they were available to me all seven days of the week! so for the past ...
admittedly this look is definitely on the edgier side for yours truly, but i think i love it! i recently started following clothing designer (and eyebrow queen) anine bing on instagram, and i swear her casual, cool, slightly masculine style is totally influencing how i dress. now that i'm in my 30's, i feel like ...
hi, my name is shawna and i have a problem. i can't stop buying leopard print! really, animal print in general as i just dipped my toe into the snakeskin area with these mules and this midi skirt. either way, i'm one cheetah-print top away from blending in at the zoo. my mom recently reminded ...
it's the greatest week of the year! truth be told, the days leading up to thanksgiving are some of my favorite of the entire year. i am always giddy with anticipation to celebrate my absolute favorite holiday. the food, the time with family, the football, the SALES! ah, i can't wait. since i feel like ...
happy friday! i apologize for the radio silence this week, with my bachelorette festivities the primary focus last weekend, we were unable to sneak in any photo shoots. i assure you that regular scheduled programming will resume this coming week. in the meantime, i've rounded up my looks from the past six days with links ...
happy friday! i'm back with part two of my three-part series on how to style a panama hat. since yesterday's look was pretty casual, i wanted to feature an outfit perfect for a warm-weather getaway or a day exploring your own hometown. the next way i love styling my panana hat is... with a midi skirt and ...
as you're well-aware, gingham print has captured my heart this season (see past looks here, here & here). in fact, in addition to the skirt and blouse below, i may have also just added a two-piece matching gingham outfit because clearly i have a small problem. but how can you blame me? gingham is such a ...
as evidenced last week (here & here), i've fallen hard for gingham this season -especially in classic black and white. despite being a print, it's demure enough to almost act as a neutral, making it crazy versatile for a number of occasions. since pairing it with my cashmere sweater and pumps last friday, i've also ...
