style, stories & everything in between
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 ...
spring may be months away but in true fashion world, err, fashion, stores are already starting to share glimpses of their SS2019 collections. after seeing the same five pieces it seems rotate on and off the sale rack for the past few weeks, i'm not gonna lie, i was pretty excited for fresh styles. i ...
if you follow me on instagram, you know that i popped into urban outfitters on tuesday to do a mini try-on. as one who hardly shops there, it was fun to take a break from my usual haunts -madewell and j.crew. while i found a few items that could easily become wardrobe staples, the real ...
it happened this weekend. after a little over a month of living in the new house, we succumbed to turning on the air conditioning for the first time. but with temperatures flirting with the triple digits, it was crucial for our well-being. summer has officially landed in san diego (for the time being at least) ...

while the autumnal equinox isn't for 11 more days, as soon as september hits -especially once regular season professional football is gracing our tv sets three times a week, i'm ready to bust out the pumpkin-flavored things and don scarves and boots in honor of my favorite season of the year. since it's still a little warm ...
let me tell you a fun story about these pants. they were the pants that almost weren't. as soon as i spotted them amongst madewell's newest crop of arrivals, i decided i needed to make them mine so i ordered them in a small and anxiously awaited their arrival. unfortunately when i finally had a chance ...
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 ...
