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 ...
on saturday night i attended a birthday party for a dear friend's 30th birthday. since i usually opt for jeans on the weekends -whether paired with a ruffled blouse or a simple tee, i thought i'd step it up and dress a little fancier for the occasion. i actually wear this combo as a work ...
every year as the temperatures start to warm up, i swap out my favorite skinny jeans for shorts. since converting most of my wardrobe over to a neutral palette, i normally opt for blue or white denim cut-offs to help me get through the brunt of summer since they easily mix and match with just ...
with our la quinta trip just around the corner and with warmer temps (hopefully) on the horizon, i can't help but start thinking about what i'll be packing for our desert getaway. aside from my panama hat, my polka dot jumpsuit and lots of spf 50, if i plan on getting some color on this pasty bod, ...
i really try to not use shopping as therapy but sometimes when i'm feeling anxious and in need of a little break from my never-ending list of to-do's, a quick perusal through anthropologie has the power to completely change my mood (i'm convinced it's the smell of volcano candles and expensive clothing). feeling a little unsettled after ...

personally, black jeans have always evoked a bit of rebellion. which is probably why it has taken me so long to own a pair. to offset their edginess, i coupled my new pair of black denim with a frilly-sleeved polka dot top and bow-adorned fedora for our last day in santa barbara. it ended up ...
an unexpected compliment. a really really good bear hug. over-sized sweatpants. bedhead. a sex and the city marathon. laughing until your abs hurt. a three-hour coffee date. the smell of cinnamon. a really ripe peach. baby smell. a well-stocked produce section. hearing your favorite song on the radio. snail mail. football season. hearing your parents tell you they're proud of you. a really good nap. and a really good hair day. neon pink. room service. at ...
