style, stories & everything in between
i have this thing for stripes. especially striped pants. so when i saw these cuties in the perfect pale pink, i immediately added them to my online cart. when they arrived last week, i couldn't wait to style them. unfortunately it has been pretty chilly around these parts so my original plans of wearing them with a ...
summer may still be a few months away, but as far as i'm concerned, i've discovered a little slice of the season with my new pair of madewell's perfect summer jeans. after starting to tire of my skinny jeans, i had been itching to try a new silhouette. enter the perfect summer jean -a "mom jean" ...
as i mentioned in last week's post, the 90's are back. from chokers to overalls, the style of my youth has come back around -two decades later. while i may never find the perfect pair of overalls (le sigh), one way i've embraced the 90's fashion is by layering shirts under dresses. i recently wore ...
while it's still technically winter (according to the calendar at least), san diego has been having spurts of warm weather lately and it's definitely getting me excited about spring. and accordingly, a spring color palette. when madewell released its latest batch of new arrivals recently, i spotted this adorable ruffled peplum top and immediately snatched it up ...
i loved wearing this sweater so much last weekend, i decided to wear it again this weekend! though the weather wasn't nearly as chilly as it was last saturday...

it's been a while! i'm back with a few new outfits this week that i'm really excited to share. this first one features one of my recent purchases -a pair of everlane's highly-acclaimed boss boots. i had to wait months for these babies to come back in stock but i'll have to say, they were well worth ...
have you ever done an instagram poll? i did for the very first time recently and it was actually to determine whether or not i needed this sweater. turns out, people were split. of the five votes i received (thank you, fab five!), the opinion was mixed -three thought it was a no, while the other ...
i mentioned last week that i had just picked up this blouson sleeve top a couple weeks ago and had been waiting for an opportunity to style it. since it's the kind of blouse that i feel can be dressed up or down, i wanted to showcase how to style it for two different occasions. while ...
i don't think there is a single lady in the world that would rank jeans shopping as one of her favorite things to do. while it might be slightly less terrorizing than bathing suit shopping, it's definitely a daunting task. but shopping for a new pair of denim has become a whole lot more enjoyable since ...
i like to think of personal style as a series of little trial and errors. sometimes the ideas i come up translate better than expected in real life, while others, well, don't. but every now and then i stumble upon an outfit formula that makes me feel pretty great and when that happens, i always log it ...
