Hey hey, hauties! It’s been a minute, but life has been lifin’ and I’ve been caught up being fully OUTSIDE this summer. I love that this is the first summer in two years where we haven’t felt like we were on lockdown, and life has been feeling more back to normal. That said, these past […] Read More »
Ready for a Hot Masked Summer
How eager are you to return to ‘normal’? I’ve been more than ready.

Cranes in the Sky (and On My Kimono)
I can’t believe it’s been a year since Solange‘s “A Seat at the Table” came out. This album, and particularly the song, “Cranes in the Sky,” was and has been my personal anthem for a lot of things over the past year, including the election & American politics, my career & personal life, and just […] Read More »
My style: Neon & leather (Leather moto jacket + Victoria’s Secret pleated maxi dress + Bottega Veneta sandals)
Since I’m an accessory junkie, I tend to dress around my bags and shoes. I picked up this silver bag from Zara recently, and loved it because it reminded me of Proenza Schouler’s PS11 mirrored-leather clutch that I’ve been virtually stalking. The clutch is a little out of my price range for clutches, so this […] Read More »

My style: Florals & stripes mix + get the look!
I’m still trying to master the art of print mixing and I think I’m finally getting the hang of it. I’m nowhere near Solange Knowles’s level but I’m getting there! The key to successful print mixing is to pair your prints using one or two complementary colors as the base. For my look, the base color […] Read More »
My style: the Little Black Dress by Muse Apparel
Black has always been my default color. I subscribe to my own personal fashion rule, “When in doubt, wear black.” After realizing in college how full of black clothing my closet was, I began venturing out into buying/wearing more color. But there’s no replacement for the classic black fashion item, the LBD or little black […] Read More »
My style: Blue and gold (Faux fur vest + blue H&M pants + ASOS Print clutch)
As I’ve mentioned before, I seem to wear things that leave others scratching their heads. When I was home for the holidays, I endured a lot of jokes from my siblings and husband about my blue furry vest, but you know what? I still love it! A faux fur vest is pretty versatile and to […] Read More »
My style: Stripes & checks (LOFT Corded Dobby Striped Trench + Jolt Reversible Houndstooth-Print Skinny Jeans)
A great coat always tops my list of Fall essentials. It’s the first thing anyone sees so it’s nice to pick one that stands out. I especially dig a good trench coat. A girl can never have too many of those. When I first spotted this belted, Corded Dobby Striped Trench in LOFT‘s Fall advertising […] Read More »
My style: Yellow & camo (Avaleigh dress, VS camo pants, Anna Dello Russo at H&M accessories)
I was quite surprised when I stepped into my local H&M a few weeks ago on the evening of the Anna Dello Russo at H&M launch. I expected everything to be snapped up; gone, in typical H&M collab fashion. But to my surprise, there still was a slew of accessories still neatly stocked behind a glass […] Read More »

My style: A walk in the park (WGACA camo jacket + Equipment neon blouse + Alexander Wang bag + Valentino pumps)
Even though it’s most comfortable and typical for me to lounge around in jeans on the weekends, I do like the idea of getting at least slightly dressed up. Like putting on a dress or a skirt. Especially on Sundays. Last weekend, my hubby and I went for a drive and stopped by a local […] Read More »
My style: Weekend comfort (Daniel Rainn blouse + Seven7 jeans + Marc by Marc Jacobs bag)
On the weekends, you’ll usually find me in a maxi dress or jeans. I live for comfort so putting on a pair of my favorite worn-in denim is typical. Also, I can be quite the girly-girl. I’ve always been a sucker for anything with floral print, butterflies or hearts, so I immediately picked up this top when […] Read More »
My style: Before the rain (Blue & green maxi dress + Zara colorblock sandals)
As soon as we went out to take photos, it started to pour! Good thing I was wearing a maxi dress and my hair up in a top knot! I tried to hide under some trees to get a few photos before hopping back in the car to run some weekend errands. A maxi dress […] Read More »

My style: Lemon-Lime (Alice + Olivia Striped Tube Top + Proenza Schouler PS11 Capri Tote + Rockport Janae Perforated Sandals)
I truly am a bag stalker. Just ask my ‘bag guy’ at Neiman Marcus. When I see a bag I want, I will not stop until I find it. That was the case with this Proenza Schouler PS11 Tote. For some reason, it kept showing up in Barneys ads all over the web, but when […] Read More »
