If anyone’s guilty of overdoing one color palette, it’s me. In winter, I’m all about blacks and greys; during spring, I’m obsess with tans, light pinks, and camel palettes. I like a pop of color once in a while, but my short-term plan is to start incorporating brights into my wardrobe. I’m truly inspired by […]
invitation + response card wrapped in a tidy bundle Spring is slowly emerging, which to me, can only mean one thing: the wedding is nigh. In fact, at the beginning of the month, the day finally arrived when wedding invitations absolutely had to be sent (hell or high water). When I initially chose the invitations, […]
J Brand jeans (via Gilt), Kenna-T jacket (worn here), Club Monaco top, J Crew belt, Zara booties (worn here) Not quite spring, but not really winter–March is a difficult time to dress yourself in the Midwest.

H&M jacket + scarf, c/o native.la top, Zara skirt + boots, Ray Ban sunglasses, Chloé bag When I last wore this skirt, it was 80 degrees and sunny; I wondered if I could pull it off in Ohio, where it was 35 degrees and slushy from the freshly fallen snow. It turned out alright, […]
BR shirt, J Crew cardigan, French Connection skirt (via a friend–thanks Mar!), ? necklace, Gap tights, UO heels, Chloé bag I wouldn’t categorize myself in the preppy category, but after looking at this outfit, it’s clear that I’m conveying a very collegiate-prep feel.
