style, stories & everything in between
since san diego doesn't ever get truly cold (at least by other parts of the country's standards), our "winter wardrobes" don't get utilized that often. case in point this heavier coatigan i picked up from loft a couple years ago. sometimes i forget it's even in my closet! but on chillier days like the ones we've been having ...
you guys, the bow obsession continues. as soon as i spotted this italian cashmere sweater on banana republic's website on pre-order about a month and a half ago, i knew it had to be mine. with a hefty discount and an additional $15 off reward burning a hole in my wallet, i did what any ...
there are some items that are essential for any fashionista's closet -a simple white tee, a perfect-fitting pair of jeans, a great pair of heels, and of course -the top garment of them all -the quintessential little black dress (LBD for the acronym-affectionate). over the years, i've owned many an LBD. as my tastes (and body) ...
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 ...

i just realized that thanksgiving is NEXT week. how on earth did that happen?! i haven't even mentally prepared myself for all of the delicious food i'm about to consume! but today's post isn't about cranberry sauce and pie. it's about my love for the holiday palette -rich greens, deep reds, gold, plaid, and sparkle. though ...
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/first week of november! also how is it already november?! anyway, it was a short week for me since i took today off to start my bachelorette weekend celebrations a little early (my best friend since 7th grade is arriving this morning!), but i still managed to round-up some of the ensembles i sported over the ...
as you may have already deduced, i'm not the typical bride. so though it's totally a rite of passage, the thought of having a "typical" bachelorette party kind of made me cringe. but then one of my best girls told me to think of it less as a bachelorette party (complete with penis straws and ...
