style, stories & everything in between
when i switched the focus of this blog to feature my love for personal style and fashion, i made a mental note of brands i'd love to partner with someday. dream big, i thought, who knows what could happen? in addition to madewell (obviously), also at the top of my list was everlane, a brand i've admired ...
ever since i snagged these cute little rust shorts (seen styled here), i've been inspired to add a little bit of color to my otherwise neutral wardrobe. i love how fresh the orange-color feels, especially with my slightly less pale skin (let's be honest, i'll never be tan) and when paired with denim blues or crisp ...
now i know i wasn't going to buy too many off-the-shoulder pieces this season, but i caved and bought a second garment in the style. whoopsies! i had admired this chambray dress from j.crew's summer collection ever since i saw it modeled in this post on their blog (btw, did you know j.crew has a blog?!), so ...
y'all know i'm a separates girl, so when i see a cute (and appropriately lengthed!) skirt, it's hard not to make it mine. when i spotted this particular navy beauty on loft's website a few weeks ago, i instantly fell in love. i mean, can we talk about the ruffled hem for a minute? after spotting the ...
if you follow me on instagram (which i would love if you did!), you are well aware of a couple of things -one, we got our wedding photos back last weekend and i've been spamming up a storm and two, S and i also rang in our second month of marriage. so to celebrate both things, ...
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 ...
when i think back to our wedding day, i think many things. the top being that it truly was the best day of our lives. but i also think about how blessed we were to have had gorgeous weather in the midst of one of the worst winter storms san diego has seen in recent years. ...
when it comes to madewell, most days i want to buy all the things. thankfully, i've learned to restrain myself and only pull the trigger on items that i know can pull double duty in both my professional and personal lives. i also try my hardest to only purchase said things while they're on promo ...
just when i thought it would never arrive, fall decided to show up this weekend (insert celebratory emoji here). while i've certainly enjoyed having an extended summer, it was refreshing to put on jeans and a sweater for a change. after a day of solo errand-running in preparation for my bridal shower (more on that later ...
on saturday afternoon, S and i ventured out to conquer a few miscellaneous errands around town. admittedly, getting dressed on saturdays is a struggle. and let me tell you why. as you may already know, on saturdays i teach back to back studio barre classes until noon. so by the time i get home, nearly half of ...
