spring, is that you? oh no, it's just my new flats that are giving me all the tulip-and-sunshine-filled days. after deciding that everyone's favorite fisherman sandals didn't quite feel like me, freda salvador launched their jada handwoven flats in three colors --complete with a chic square toe and feminine bow. it was a sign. THESE ...
remember when sex and the city was airing and we were all constantly categorizing ourselves as either the miranda, charlotte, samantha or carrie? i mean based on the fashions alone, i've always wanted to be the carrie, but given my personality, i think most people would categorize me as a charlotte instead. and honestly, they're ...
one could say that with my long torso, i've inadvertently been embracing cropped tops for years. however, this season i'm embracing the mid-drift baring look on purpose. with an abundance of high-waisted pants/jeans in my closet, i'm loving the retro look of pairing said belly-button hovering trousers with tops that leave just a hint of ...
i often share things that have caught my eye on my instagram stories but since those expire in 24 hours, i thought it might be more fun/helpful to gather them in one place! as we inch closer to warmer weather and celebrate the arrival of the spring equinox, brands are beginning to showcase their SS2022 ...
another day, another matching set. i told myself i didn't need another sweat suit, but here we are. truth is, they make me feel pulled together amidst a season that feels a bit nutty (aka raising one-year-old twins) and for that reason alone, they're worth every penny. thankfully this one isn't too many pennies ($29.99 ...
by far my favorite trend of the moment is smocking! the accordion-like detail is not only flattering across a bodice, it also provides dimension to any outfit. it's feminine without being too frilly and perfect for warm weather as with most pieces, you can go sans bra (let them be free!). i recently picked up ...
i know matching sweat suits are so 2020, but we're five months into 2021 and i'm still all about coordinated cozies. they're just so easy! and for this twin mom, easy is EVERYTHING. i recently found this terry henley sweatshirt and matching shorts set and figured they'd be perfect for lounging around the house ("lounging" ...
building my postpartum wardrobe has been a labor of love. i have spent the past few months purging and purging and purging some more (donating and consigning said purged items) in anticipation of refilling my closet with pieces that not only make me feel my very best, but equally as important -fit my current lifestyle ...
i can probably count the number of times i've worn jeans in the last year on both hands. between raising nine month old twins and being mostly housebound as a result of the pandemic, there have been very few occasions that have warranted pants with structured waistbands. HOWEVER when two instagram influencers raved about these ...
if you follow me on instagram, you may have seen my recent post explaining that we've moved our c-section date up a week to next thursday! everything looks great, our doctor team just thinks our little loves could benefit by entering the world a little early. personally, i'm pretty excited over the change in schedule ...
