style, stories & everything in between
there are a few things i equate with the warmer seasons -my favorite pair of sandals, the smell of sunscreen, sleeveless everything, and a good woven bag. while i'm not usually one to switch out my purse day to day, come summertime, i tend to forgo my leather tote in exchange for a seasonal carry-all. ...
i'm a firm believer that everyone should own a frivolous and/or seemingly impractical piece of clothing in their closet just because it makes them happy. i have a tulle skirt (which i lovingly refer to as my "adult tutu"), a gold shimmery maxi, and this polka dot gem that i wore in our engagement photos ...
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 ...
after a pink overload in college, i've avoided the color for nearly a decade. but you guys, i'm happy to report that i'm back on the blush bandwagon and it feels pretty darn great! especially since there is an abundance of adorable rose-colored pieces this season -including this coordinating striped blouse and shorts. i originally spotted ...
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 ...
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 ...
i think i have a new favorite color combination! the pairing of blush pink and olive is giving me all the spring feels this season. i wore this outfit to work the other day and received so many compliments, i figured it was worth a repeat wear. everlane pants || madewell top (sold out, similar here ...
our easter celebrations took us a little further inland than usual (to S's aunt's house), which meant warmer temperatures for our afternoon gathering. i took full advantage of that by busting out this embroidered off-the-shoulder top from last summer (similar here). it pairs perfectly with my white denim shorts, or in this case, i tucked ...
there are just dresses that you put on and you immediately feel something. in this case, when i slipped on this striped beauty last week, i immediately felt like belle from beauty and the beast. in the best possible way. i even started singing the opening song to myself in our bedroom as i admired ...
good things come to those who wait --for things to go on sale. and that's exactly what i did -i waited for these sandals to go on sale and then i snagged them for 20% their original price. you may remember them from this & this post, and after going back and forth for a ...
