BOHO LACE DRESS: BIRTHDAY OUTFIT (MY 40th!)

Having such a fun and busy birthday weekend, that I’m finally getting around to posting my birthday outfit–this really pretty Free People-style boho lace dress. I scrambled online at the last minute to find a dress to wear to my birthday dinner. I checked ASOS (my usual go-to for petite-sized dresses), but I didn’t see anything that I liked. So I turned to the best place for a large selection of dresses, and the fastest shipping–Amazon. A while ago I saw a lady’s … Continue Reading »

DENIM BERMUDA SHORTS: CROP TOP AND LAST YEAR’S TRENCH VEST

Most of the styles I tried on were not flattering (hello, pancake butt) or did not provide any coverage (no, I don’t need to put my bum cheeks on display while … Continue Reading »


STRIPED TOP AND COLOR POPS OF PINK AND YELLOW

Hello! Hope you’re having a great week. I never wear stripes and this Forever 21 striped top has been hanging in my closet for months. It was probably going to get the axe (either donated or demoted to a sleep shirt) in my next KonMari cleanout, but then I bought yellow shoes and everything changed. I’m loving the combination of black and white with splashes of yellow (and pink!). It’s fun, summery, a little bit 80s, and somehow very classic. Whenever I see … Continue Reading »


STREET LEISURE: SPLATTER TOP AND CUT-OFFS

A quick hello as I’m fighting off yet another cold. I’ve been sick so many times in the recent months probably because of the abrupt changes in weather (June gloom and layers one day, blazing saddles and tank tops the next), the weird bugs Eddie brings home, dehydration (been running on coffee only ever since we got a Keurig), and my nonexistent running and weight training regimen. I guess right about now (halfway through the year) is a good time to re-evaluate those … Continue Reading »
