style, stories & everything in between
after our morning bike ride and breakfast date, S and i relaxed at home for a few hours, called our other families to extend easter wishes, as well as showered and changed into new outfits for dinner back at my parents' house. despite the casual vibe of the evening, i insisted on wearing my new ...
madewell skirt (this season's style) || madewell blouse (similar) madewell hat (similar) || j.crew factory shoes || anthropologie clutch (similar) i don't want to jinx it, but we have been on a run of good springtime weather lately and it has made getting dressed every day a little bit more exciting. i've unearthed some seasonal staples from my wardrobe, ...
happy #nationalstripesday! as i mentioned in last week's post, j.crew created today's holiday to honor the humble stripe which has been an integral part of their brand since its inception in the early 1980's. never one to miss an opportunity to celebrate a pattern that makes up a good portion of my wardrobe, i went all ...
when i was very little my late grandfather gave me the nickname "rose." it stemmed from my unwavering devotion to the happy hue, so much so that i believed my then naturally ginger locks to actually be pink. over the years, my obsession with the color has remained fairly consistent, peaking perhaps in college when ...
while i'd never consider my style "bohemian," there are times when i gravitate toward a more whimsical vibe when putting together an outfit. after styling this skirt in what i'd call a "predictable" way (black tank, black heels), i wanted wanted to push myself to pair it with more unexpected pieces to showcase its versatility. ...

i'm the type of person who would much rather be too cold than too hot (part of the reason we decided to get married in january), but i'm not gonna lie, i'm real excited about summer. if only for the fact that these gams could use a healthy dose of vitamin d (under the protection of a strong spf, ...
name that movie, go! after last week's post sharing my newfound affections for club monaco, i took advantage of the recent shopbop sale and treated myself to this pretty little maxi skirt. even with the discount, it was definitely more than i normally spend on a garment, but i knew i could style it a zillion ...
i'm back with these jeans! i couldn't help myself, the weather was giving me such summer vibes, i wanted to style them again, this time with my striped peplum top for a fun nautical vibe. while you can never go wrong with classic black and white, sometimes it can feel a little heavy, especially in ...
since san diego doesn't ever get truly cold (at least by other parts of the country's standards), our "winter wardrobes" don't get utilized that often. case in point this heavier coatigan i picked up from loft a couple years ago. sometimes i forget it's even in my closet! but on chillier days like the ones we've been having ...
