style, stories & everything in between
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 ...
growing up in san diego, a visit to the carlsbad flower fields every spring was an annual event. we have dozens of photos of me and my step-siblings nestled amongst the ranunculus blooms hamming it up for the camera at various stages of our youth. want proof? here are just two of the dozens of ...
despite how annoying they can be, i will give credit where credit is due. i discovered this top from an instagram ad. it came up in my feed, i fell in love, clicked on the link, realized it was currently 50% off, and bam, in a matter of a couple hours, i was picking it ...
sunday has always been one of my favorite days of the week. while saturdays were reserved for sporting events and social activities, sunday always offered a slower pace --which as a homebody was always a welcomed reprieve. as i've gotten older, the once comforting sundays have become filled with the monotonous routine of adulthood -loads ...
though many of my favorite brands have brick and mortar stores just a few miles from my house, i do a majority of my shopping online. you just can't beat the convenience of it. while most days you can find me scouring the new arrivals section of j.crew and madewell.com (naturally), i love discovering new online ...
i had grand plans of taking photos of each outfit i wore over the course of our time in quebec city, but the truth is, not only have most of the ensembles i wore already been featured on the blog, but more importantly, we were too busy enjoying our vacation and exploring the city to ...
picking the perfect outfit to sport for america's birthday is always something i look forward to. this year i decided to go back, way back, all the way to my high school graduation dress. i've held onto it all these years partly for nostalgia, but mostly for the fact that i've yet to find a silhouette like ...
summer is officially here and that means we're headed into prime swimsuit-wearing season. given how little i lay out (#fairskinnedproblems) i always have a hard time investing in my swimsuits since they only get worn a few times a season/year. zara bikini top (similar) || target bikini bottoms || j.crew factory denim shorts cuyana hat || carrie forbes sandals || urban ...
ever since i snagged these cute little rust shorts (seen styled here), i've been inspired to add a little bit of color to my otherwise neutral wardrobe. i love how fresh the orange-color feels, especially with my slightly less pale skin (let's be honest, i'll never be tan) and when paired with denim blues or crisp ...
now i know i wasn't going to buy too many off-the-shoulder pieces this season, but i caved and bought a second garment in the style. whoopsies! i had admired this chambray dress from j.crew's summer collection ever since i saw it modeled in this post on their blog (btw, did you know j.crew has a blog?!), so ...
