style, stories & everything in between
you may remember this wall from an old #shawnaleeannstyle post late last year. it's the creation of artist, roy mcmakin, and part of the murals of la jolla art exhibition featuring large art installations all over the city. i'd be lying if i said that making a pit stop by the favorite color mural for a ...
happy #nationalstripesday! as i mentioned in last week's post, j.crew created today's holiday to honor the humble stripe which has been an integral part of their brand since its inception in the early 1980's. never one to miss an opportunity to celebrate a pattern that makes up a good portion of my wardrobe, i went all ...
while i'd never consider my style "bohemian," there are times when i gravitate toward a more whimsical vibe when putting together an outfit. after styling this skirt in what i'd call a "predictable" way (black tank, black heels), i wanted wanted to push myself to pair it with more unexpected pieces to showcase its versatility. ...
i'm the type of person who would much rather be too cold than too hot (part of the reason we decided to get married in january), but i'm not gonna lie, i'm real excited about summer. if only for the fact that these gams could use a healthy dose of vitamin d (under the protection of a strong spf, ...
look two of my three-part styling series is all about elevating these pants for a date night (or ladies' night!) on the town. for this outfit, i opted for a chic silk blouse in a pale peach color to offset the navy (since orange is opposite blue on the color wheel, they actually pair very ...

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 ...
for someone who often finds herself cold, i'm not a huge fan of outerwear. living in san diego, i can kind of get away with it, but there are certain times of the year when a light sweater just doesn't cut it. so over the years, i've collected a few closet staples -a faux leather ...
for christmas, my mother-in-law and i surprised S and his dad with tickets to an NHL hockey game featuring a match-up of their two favorite teams -the anaheim ducks and the los angeles kings. though i grew up loving the mighty ducks trilogy (gordon bombay forever), my loyalty will forever lie with the kings as it is ...
i'm back with these jeans! i couldn't help myself, the weather was giving me such summer vibes, i wanted to style them again, this time with my striped peplum top for a fun nautical vibe. while you can never go wrong with classic black and white, sometimes it can feel a little heavy, especially in ...
