style, stories & everything in between
repeat after me: life's better in a sweater. except maybe when it's still 80 degrees. i was so kindly gifted the spruce sweater from darling society's fall collection which just launched september 1st. while the temperatures aren't quite sweater weather yet, i know this cozy knit will get plenty of wear in the early months of the ...
while we've STILL yet to experience true sweater weather in these parts (maybe next month?), that hasn't stopped me from adding a few cozy knits to my online cart. similar to shoes, i believe one can never own too many sweaters. if cared for properly, they're the kind of garment that'll last you year after ...
if there's something i love more than a good styling session, it's a styling session that involves an affordable buy. in this case, this cute pom sweater from target's who what wear collection is a steal considering the fact that it resembles versions double (or triple!) its price tag. of course i really have to ...
something amazing happened this past weekend, guys. the temperatures dipped below 70-degrees and it was finally appropriate to unearth my boots and sweaters from their nine month hibernation and sport them together before another heat wave arrived. madewell sweater (small) || madewell denim (similiar) frye 'campus 'boots (9.5 -TTS) || madewell tote natalie borton hoops (c/o) when i think ...
to further showcase its versatility, yesterday i took to my instagram stories for a mini styling session with my madewell mustard balloon-sleeve sweater. while you already saw it in tuesday's post, i wanted to showcase a few more ways you can style it for the season in case you want to snag one for yourself! ...
in case you weren't aware (i'm sure you knew by the abundance of pumpkin spice latte photos on instagram), the first day of fall was on saturday, september 22nd. though the weather wasn't as "fall-like" as i would have liked it to be (september in san diego still looks very much like summer), it was ...
despite the fact that it was 94-degrees at home yesterday, my mom and i had fall on the brain as we stopped by madewell to take a peek at their latest batch of seasonal arrivals. unfortunately there weren't as many pieces from their upcoming collection as originally hoped so this week's projected fitting room fables ...
despite the fact that san diego is not experiencing the coveted "sweater weather" these days, i can't stop thinking about (or buying) cozy knits. in my opinion, sweaters are like pairs of nice underwear -you can never really have too many. as a collector myself, i've narrowed it down to three styles i believe everyone ...
it's no secret that the sustainable brand, everlane has revolutionized the fashion industry in a number of ways. from offering radical transparency in how and where their garments are made to providing an approachable template for customer and brand relations (they're customer service is top notch!), the little brand that could has fast become a ...
if memory serves me correctly, i got my ears pierced in fifth grade. at the time it felt like a very rite-of-passage thing to do (oh and along with most of america, i'd assume, i went to claires, naturally). while i'm definitely more of a stud-girl, i have worn many a chandelier/statement earring in my ...
