style, stories & everything in between
well we're back (begrudgingly) from our vacation and back into the thralls of regular life. in all honesty it was so nice to be back in our home after a few days on the road but i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss the freedom of life without alarms, set schedules, and full ...
after a pink overload in college, i've avoided the color for nearly a decade. but you guys, i'm happy to report that i'm back on the blush bandwagon and it feels pretty darn great! especially since there is an abundance of adorable rose-colored pieces this season -including this coordinating striped blouse and shorts. i originally spotted ...
if you haven't noticed, zara has been killing it this season. and by killing it, i mean taking all of my money because their spring collection has been on POINT. after ordering two white eyelet blouses (here & here), i recently ordered a third in a similar style (clearly i have a problem). when it arrived, i ...
i don't know if you've been shopping recently but i swear shirts are getting more and more cropped by the day. for someone with a long torso, this recent development doesn't bode well for me. HOWEVER, since adopting a higher rise pant/jean as my cut of choice, it has made the transition a bit easier. ...
the more i hone in on my personal style, the easier i find shopping to be. now that i know what silhouettes work on my body, i can scroll through a batch of new arrivals and quickly deduce which items have the potential of becoming wardrobe heroes. so when madewell released more of their late spring/early ...
there was a time when i was super opposed to buying multiples of anything. i figured variety was the spice of life and who wants the same t-shirt in five colors? it seemed so boring and uninspired. then i got older and my body changed and along with it, my personal style. through trial and error ...
you guys, the weather was PERFECT this weekend. like "here's a glimpse of summer might look like" perfect and i for one was HERE for it. sorry for the caps but emphasis necessary. anyway, after a full day of errand running on saturday (and after a very unglamorous weekend last weekend), we decided it was high ...
i think i have a new favorite color combination! the pairing of blush pink and olive is giving me all the spring feels this season. i wore this outfit to work the other day and received so many compliments, i figured it was worth a repeat wear. everlane pants || madewell top (sold out, similar here ...
technically this post should be titled "the day before easter jumpsuit" but that doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well, now does it? seeing as it's not yet quite warm enough to wear this jumpsuit on its own (spring weather, where are you?), i decided to layer a simple white tee underneath for extra warmth. j.crew jumpsuit (similar) ...
good things come to those who wait --for things to go on sale. and that's exactly what i did -i waited for these sandals to go on sale and then i snagged them for 20% their original price. you may remember them from this & this post, and after going back and forth for a ...
