style, stories & everything in between
when the temperatures rise, the last thing you want to do (especially if your house isn't equipped with air) is worry about your outfit. come summertime, i want easy pieces that i can throw on without thinking too much about it. for me, those pieces look like breezy rompers and light-weight skirts with lots of ...
y'all know full well that feminine details are one of my love languages. and lucky for me, they seem to be everywhere right now, just in time for spring. when i popped into loft to return a sweater i had purchased on sale, i ended up spying the cutest ruffle-sleeve tee shirts as i idled in line. i ...
happy #nationalstripesday! as i mentioned in last week's post, j.crew created today's holiday to honor the humble stripe which has been an integral part of their brand since its inception in the early 1980's. never one to miss an opportunity to celebrate a pattern that makes up a good portion of my wardrobe, i went all ...
another day, another spring collection to swoon over. today's pieces hail from loft, a brand i'd say i normally turn to for closet basics, but whose latest crop of new arrivals are speaking to my stripe-loving, feminine-detailing loving soul. i had every intention of featuring some of my favorite styles in my second installment of "fitting room ...
oh these pants (insert all the heart-eye emojis). if you haven't jumped on the wide-leg pant bandwagon yet, this pair just might be the thing to convince you to hitch a ride. as soon as i spotted them in j.crew's spring collection, i knew i had to make them mine. stripes and navy always seem ...
as we enter a fresh year, i can say with full confidence that 2016 was the year i honed into my own personal style. through multiple closet purges, sampling new silhouettes, and adopting a neutral color palette, i now have a closet full of pieces i not only adore, but more importantly, that when i ...
as you may have already deduced, i'm not the typical bride. so though it's totally a rite of passage, the thought of having a "typical" bachelorette party kind of made me cringe. but then one of my best girls told me to think of it less as a bachelorette party (complete with penis straws and ...
do you ever stumble upon something buried in the back of your closet and think, "hey, i totally forgot i had you!" well it happened to me this weekend when i was looking for a pair of jeans to wear with my ruffled top. since i paired this top with a light-wash skinny jean the last ...
before we ventured to dinner on saturday evening, S and i took a drive down PCH. though fall officially began last thursday, you'd never know it by the weekend's weather. the beach was abuzz with locals and tourists alike savoring the sunny conditions. i had planned on wearing this top again with my flare jeans ...
when i spotted this top in the latest j.crew catalog i instantly fell in love (how could you not?!). it has two of my favorite things -ruffles and stripes. i only wish it had come out earlier in the season so i could have worn it all summer long. at any rate, i chose to take it ...
