style, stories & everything in between
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 ...
similar jeans || loft tank || natalie borton necklace (sold out) similar flats || urban outfitters sunglasses happy monday! to ease us back into the week, i thought i'd share another round-up of my latest instagram outfits. of course if you already follow along, these looks might look very familiar, but for those who don't, below are some ...
our neighborhood is seriously something out of pleasantville. there's a town square, a community christmas tree lighting every december, and store-front lined sidewalks overgrown with blooming jackaranda trees in the spring. over the last eight years i've lived in storybook suburbia, businesses have come and go -particularly restaurants. i've watched enough seasons of top chef to know how competitive ...
you may remember this romper from a previous post -it's the latest addition to my seemingly ever-growing collection (#sorryimnotsorry). i took it out for a spin two weekends ago, when the weather was doing it's perfect "75 & sunny" thing. albeit a tad bit shorter than i'm used to wearing, i feel like the ruffled hem ...

happy weekend! i hope you're soaking up every minute of your free time! we've come to the third and final look from this week's three-part styling series featuring my favorite spring/summer hat (here's a look back at looks one & two). to me, today's look screams "date night on the patio," don't you think? well, the fact ...
happy friday! i'm back with part two of my three-part series on how to style a panama hat. since yesterday's look was pretty casual, i wanted to feature an outfit perfect for a warm-weather getaway or a day exploring your own hometown. the next way i love styling my panana hat is... with a midi skirt and ...
spring is well underway and i for one am embracing every opportunity to be out from under the fluorescent lights of my office and in the sweet springtime sun. but being pretty fair, warmer weather means being responsible about skincare. aside from their ability to hide dirty/messy hair and add flair to any outfit, this time ...
