style, stories & everything in between
now just what is this post all aboot? (get it?!) it's aboot my love for boots (and a good canadian accent, clearly). after experiencing el nino's impending reign a couple weeks ago, it's clear winter weather is here to stay. to me, that translates to cozying up in oversized sweaters, covering up unwashed hair with knit beanies, and ...
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 ...
it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ponchogirl? one of the fall season's hottest trends was the resurgence of the poncho -or as i like to call it "a fashionable cape." because it's normal to pretend you're a superhero after halloween, right? phew, i'm glad you agree. anyway, i love when old trends come back in style again because ...
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'd like to introduce you to my new best friend. her name is daria (not to be mistaken with this daria) and she's the perfect purse for life on-the-go. i'm not usually one to switch out my purse to match my outfit, but i recently noticed that for how much black i've added to my wardrobe, i didn't ...
after a hotter than you know what summer, the recent temperature drop has been a welcomed change these past few weeks. my sweaters have made their long-awaited pilgrimage from the back of my closet to the front, and boots, tights, and scarves are on heavy rotation. i know "cold" is certainly a relative term in ...
happy tuesday! it's day two of my "no stressing holiday dressing" series and today's looks are styled for time with your girls. whether it's a reunion brunch with college friends in town for the holidays or your annual girl's gift exchange, these outfits are meant to be fun, flirty and totally instagram worthy (you know ...
don't look now but thanksgiving is just ONE week from today! holy turkeys, y'all! let me first start off by saying that thanksgiving is hands down my favorite holiday for the fact that it incorporates some of the best things in life -family, food, and football. you guys, it's basically a day focused around eating, how ...
of all of the trends to come back in recent years, the one i've waffled with the most is the return of my 7th grade uniform -denim overalls. after trying on a pair at madewell in preparation for my first insider event, i definitely felt nostalgic for my mid-90's self (minus the bangs and bad skin). but ...
after reading amanda of advice from a twentysomething's recent post on breaking one of the cardinal fashion rules of "no white after labor day" last week, i was inspired to pull my own favorite pair of summer denim out from the back of my closet and transition them into the fall season. here's how i styled what i'm ...
