style, stories & everything in between
it all started with this bodysuit i saw on one of my mom friends on a recent playdate with our kids. she stepped out looking so "cool mom chic" in the gingham style that i couldn't help but place an order for my own right on the spot. i sized up to a medium because ...
if there has been at least one benefit to this pandemic, it's the fact that we've all really stepped up our loungewear game. as a new mom of twins, i for one am very much here for that. after ginger recommended these high-waisted joggers from old navy, i decided to try them out for myself. ...
popping in to tell you about a recent purchase i've been wearing on repeat since they arrived. these rib-knit sleep shorts! despite my best efforts, getting dressed in 'real clothes' continues to be a challenge these days --especially knowing that within minutes of putting it on, my outfit is bound to be covered in spit-up ...
believe it or not, labor day weekend is upon us. while i can't believe how quickly this summer flew by, i'd be lying if i said i wasn't really excited to embrace fall (as you are well aware, ha). besides having an extra day to spend with my husband, one of the best things about ...

as soon as i spotted this dress on free people's website, i knew it had major potential. the bohemian silhouette, the gorgeous mustard color, the pockets (!). for someone with a small chest, i knew the elastic boddess would offer a flattering fit and the midi-length hem was a refreshing change from all of the ...
it wouldn't be a holiday without a little tulle, right? for our annual christmas eve dinner with my parents, i decided to pull out this oldie but goodie tulle skirt from the back of my closet. i've had it for over half a decade but it never ceases to inspire me in putting together a ...
in honor of christmas being less than a week away, i'm feeling inspired to put together holiday-appropriate looks for the pending festivities. the first of two looks (the second will be posted tomorrow!) is a cozy yet feminine ensemble perfect for christmas eve dinner or a fancier christmas morning. chicwish knit your love cardigan (s/m) || ...
for a gal that never brought a jacket to anything ("i'll just think warm thoughts"), i'm all about outerwear this season. perhaps it's the fact that i'm not having to think about "dressy" jackets to go over office-appropriate fashion or that for the first time in a while, we're experiencing winter-type weather, but whatever the ...
