style, stories & everything in between
when it comes to dressing this time of year, i feel like there are four main categories that most holiday garments fall into -either velvet, bow-adorned, sequined, or plaid. to me, if you have one or all of these items in your closet, you're prepped and ready to create outfits for everything from thanksgiving dinner ...
happy sunday! i hope you're having a good weekend. i'm back with another round-up of weekday looks for your perusal and inspiration. after growing tired of the options i have near the club as far as backdrops are concerned, this week i ventured out into the surrounding neighborhoods and hit gold. can we talk about ...
i just realized that thanksgiving is NEXT week. how on earth did that happen?! i haven't even mentally prepared myself for all of the delicious food i'm about to consume! but today's post isn't about cranberry sauce and pie. it's about my love for the holiday palette -rich greens, deep reds, gold, plaid, and sparkle. though ...
happy friday/first week of november! also how is it already november?! anyway, it was a short week for me since i took today off to start my bachelorette weekend celebrations a little early (my best friend since 7th grade is arriving this morning!), but i still managed to round-up some of the ensembles i sported over the ...
what a crazy week it has been in terms of outfit planning. with a span of nearly 30 degrees in temperatures from monday to friday, it has been interesting getting dressed every morning. all i can say is thank GOODNESS for our amazing new air conditioning unit. while i've pretty much subscribed to a more neutral ...
similar dress || madewell hat || similar plaid || nordstrom flats hobo bag (c/o) || urban outfitters sunglasses though i'm not quite yet ready to say so long to summer, i would be lying if i'm not anxious for fall. and yes, for all of the cliche reasons we all get excited for the season -pumpkin everything, FOOTBALL, boots, ...
i feel like i'm still adjusting to the weather in san diego after nearly a week of chicago's chilly temps. and though it is significantly warmer here than in the windy city, may grey is alive and well and making it hard to grab for tanks and cut-offs just yet. so this weekend i mixed seasonal wear ...
it's not often i can wrangle my photog to step away from behind the camera and join me in front of it but i bribed him with snacks (girl scout cookies, specifically) so here we are. truthfully i have never been a big fan of valentine's day. but maybe that's because i never really had a valentine ...
i think there are two kinds of people in this world. the kind that wear hats and the kind that don't. please don't take this to mean that one can't become the other. perhaps like many of you, i was once not a hat person. but then i saw the light and realized that hats ...
i've never been a procrastinator. if anything, i'm a procrastinator's complete antithesis. if an assignment was due friday, i'd have it finished by monday night. though viewed as a bit extreme by my peers, it certainly made high school a lot less stressful. but english papers aside, there is one area of my life where i ...
