style, stories & everything in between
to me, personal style is just a constant flow of trial and error. sometimes outfits work, sometimes they don't. when i went to get dressed for this weekend's casual bbq at my parents' house, i tried to think a little outside of the box. despite my desire to wear my favorite denim and a big ...
what's/who's your favorite band/artist? truthfully, i've always been a sucker for a top 40-hit maker (britney spears forever) but in recent years, if i could pick one artist/band to listen to everyday (which we do!), it would be haim. i discovered the band of sisters in 2014 and haven't really stopped listening since. in fact, ...
good morning! i'm popping in on a saturday to say happy national stripes day! j.crew created the holiday last year (as you may recall from this post) and they're continuing the tradition in twenty-eighteen. so in honor of the holiday, i'm sharing some of my favorite striped looks i've worn over the years for a ...
summer may still be a few months away, but as far as i'm concerned, i've discovered a little slice of the season with my new pair of madewell's perfect summer jeans. after starting to tire of my skinny jeans, i had been itching to try a new silhouette. enter the perfect summer jean -a "mom jean" ...
i recently took inventory of my hat collection and donated a couple styles that no longer suited me. after years of trial and error, i have found that wide-brimmed styles balance out my ample dome, baseball caps should only be purchased from the men's department, and i can wear a beanie, as long as it's ...
for a girl whose wardrobe hails almost exclusively from two stores (cough, j.crew and madewell, cough), i have had a blast getting to know a few new-to-me designers over the last few weeks. i have loved mixing jenni kayne's minimalist pieces with items i already own and this janessa leone hat has quickly become my ...
y'all know full well that feminine details are one of my love languages. and lucky for me, they seem to be everywhere right now, just in time for spring. when i popped into loft to return a sweater i had purchased on sale, i ended up spying the cutest ruffle-sleeve tee shirts as i idled in line. i ...
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 ...
if you follow me on instagram (which i would love if you did!), you are well aware of a couple of things -one, we got our wedding photos back last weekend and i've been spamming up a storm and two, S and i also rang in our second month of marriage. so to celebrate both things, ...
because stripes are a staple for every wardrobe, j.crew is celebrating them with their own made-up holiday -national stripes day on friday, march 31st. in honor of the preppy print, all are encouraged to dress accordingly and post their striped ensembles on social media outlets using the proper hashtag #nationalstripesday. if you're like me, chances are you ...
