style, stories & everything in between
whenever a new sezane collection launches (usually on a sunday morning), i always set my alarm for 12:30am PDT. it may seem crazy but since the company is based in paris, their launch time is nine hours ahead. if i were to wait until my normal waking hour (6:00am our time), i would surely miss ...
popping in to tell you about my favorite purchase of late --this smocked dress that i scored on super sale this week. lucky for you, it's still on sale! use code SALEONSALE for an additional 20% off its already reduced price. madewell lucie smocked tiered midi dress (xs) || old navy lace-up sandals (similar) || madewell ...
one could say that with my long torso, i've inadvertently been embracing cropped tops for years. however, this season i'm embracing the mid-drift baring look on purpose. with an abundance of high-waisted pants/jeans in my closet, i'm loving the retro look of pairing said belly-button hovering trousers with tops that leave just a hint of ...
you guys, this dress deserved its own post. as i recently mentioned on instagram, i initially skipped over this frock when perusing the mango sale but after seeing it on sarah, i knew it had to be mine. when it arrived a couple weeks ago, the silhouette far exceeded expectations. i mean, the neckline just ...
when it comes to mango, i cannot be stopped. so when a couple things i had been eyeing for months suddenly went on super sale, i just couldn't let them pass me by. plus i just returned two dresses that were big misses so i felt like placing a new order basically cancelled out the ...
i decided today that my closet needs more romantic white tops. they look good with everything (denim, shorts, skirts, layered under overalls) and well, they just make me feel feminine and fancy. the catalyst for this decision was a recent trip to madewell (isn't that where most sartorial decisions occur?) where i soon found myself ...
i'm declaring summer 2021 the year of the non-denim short. mostly because i can't seem to find a pair of cut-offs i love and i'm kind of tired of looking. INSTEAD i'm focusing my efforts on the shorts i have found and fallen madly in love with. let me explain. as i mentioned earlier this week, ...
to me nothing screams summer more than a crisp white dress. paired with sun-kissed skin and a comfy sandal, it's the perfect "put on and go" look to enjoy the season. granted with two tiny humans, white is probably not the best option for me to wear right now, but i stand by my trusty ...
i used to joke during my last months of pregnancy that i only got dressed up for doctor's visits and it's proving to be the case with postpartum life as well. today i had my official 6-week post-op check-up and i'm proud to report i got cleared to resume all normal activity -most notably working ...
hello from the other side! i am officially five and a half weeks postpartum and slowly starting to feel more and more like my pre-pregnant self. admittedly, despite the lack of sleep and growing bags under my eyes, i consider my postpartum self to be a better version of the shawna pre-2020 if only for ...
