style, stories & everything in between
with easter just days away, it's time to decipher the perfect outfit for sunday's festivities. while our celebration this year will be on the more casual side, there's just something about the spring holiday that always inspires me to get a little more gussied up --it's not called 'easter best' for nothing! so i plan ...
you may remember this top from last week's post featuring floral blouses under $100. i took my own recommendation and popped into madewell for an in-person try-on and affirmed my original impression -i loved it! i even bought my mom one so we can be twins (and take advantage of the 20% discount). while it ...
with daylight saving time one week from today and the official start of spring just ten days after that, oh and not to mention the non-stop rain we've had, it's very safe to say that i've caught myself a severe case of spring fever. and the only cure it seems is the promise of fun ...
this weekend i was fortunate enough to attend my cousin's baby shower. it had been a while since i had attended a baby shower so it was fun to revisit the land of finger sandwiches and cakes made out of diapers. ha! in all seriousness, it was a beautiful afternoon and i couldn't be happier ...
if you haven't noticed, zara has been killing it this season. and by killing it, i mean taking all of my money because their spring collection has been on POINT. after ordering two white eyelet blouses (here & here), i recently ordered a third in a similar style (clearly i have a problem). when it arrived, i ...
the more i hone in on my personal style, the easier i find shopping to be. now that i know what silhouettes work on my body, i can scroll through a batch of new arrivals and quickly deduce which items have the potential of becoming wardrobe heroes. so when madewell released more of their late spring/early ...
i mentioned in this post that this blouse caught me by surprise. i don't normally wear a lot of prints (except for stripes!) so i was hesitant to add it to my closet at first blush. but the sleeves got me (they always do!) as did the fact that the pattern offered multiple pairing options ...
between sun protection and hiding dirty hair, hats are crucial to my spring/summer wardrobes. personally, i love the ease and effortlessness of a straw hat. just like good pairs of denim, you can never have too many straw hats. i recently picked up this two-toned one from urban outfitters and it's the perfect wide-brimmed style ...
you guys, the weather was PERFECT this weekend. like "here's a glimpse of summer might look like" perfect and i for one was HERE for it. sorry for the caps but emphasis necessary. anyway, after a full day of errand running on saturday (and after a very unglamorous weekend last weekend), we decided it was high ...
the weather has been amazing this week and it's making me want to bust out all of the seersucker and gingham and have a picnic in the park with lemonade and homemade (gluten-free) sandwiches. sans ants. so in honor of the spring weather, i'm sharing some of the items currently on my radar this season: wide-leg button-front jeans ...
