I ordered these jeans a few weeks ago (in May) and I loved the way they felt! I have not worn denim in over a year - these days I just don't find them to be particularly comfortable, but maybe that is caused by my long-term weight gain - and these made me want to break [...]

The Good, the Bad, and the Rugby
This spring-slash-summer I have been in love with rugby stripes. They are such an American classic, I cannot not incorporate them in my wardrobe. Not all of the rugby items that I buy work, but nevertheless I love them, even if it means that it is not flattering on my body type. I just ordered [...]
Only as Strong as the Weakest Pink
My husband and I have the tradition of visiting my family on the Gulf Coast for Independence Day. Dating back to 2014, it was the first time my then-boyfriend, now-husband met my parents. It is a holiday that I always look forward to and I am fairly certain that he does too. We always have [...]

Metal Without a Cause

Wear What You Know: 2001
I have been gravitating toward styles that I would have hyped for while I was in high school. While for most people that would be Abercrombie & Fitch graphic tees and American Eagle chino shorts, my sartorial tendencies leaned towards twinsets, cropped dress pants, and everything from ESPRIT and Benetton. Tell me you would have [...]
