Holidays are the one occasion lately where I have the excuse to buy a new item of clothing. Since I’m still working from home most of the time, I don’t need as many work outfits and my daily outfit consists of leggings and a sweater. I’ve had fun browsing online for a cute top to…
One of the patterns that’s coming back into style this fall/winter is houndstooth. Houndstooth is described as a “duotone textile pattern characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes”. Traditionally it’s in black and white or other contrasting dark and light shades. I personally prefer the classic black-and-white colorway of the pattern, but I guess…
Every year, I love looking at all the Easter dresses my favorite brands are putting out. While I don’t always wear a dress for Easter (this year I am though, since they’re more comfortable in the third trimester than jeans), it’s still fun to look and curate my favorites.

One trend I’ve been seeing everywhere in footwear lately is pearl embellishment. While you may just think of pearl heels as something to wear on your wedding day, you’ll see the latest styles span to casual sandals or summery wedges, too. They are a great way to add a touch of femininity to any outfit…
As part of my “Brand Spotlight” series, I wanted to highlight a new-to-me jewelry brand that has caught my eye lately: Deepa Gurnani. Their pieces comprise mostly of statement earrings handcrafted with beads and embroidery.
