I think every girl needs at least one crossbody bag in their arsenal. I have a handful and this new Kate Spade Harmony crossbody bag is becoming a quick favorite. I picked the bright orange color which is a little different than what I’d typically go for, but it adds the absolute perfect pop to any outfit. It also comes in a few more neutral colors.
(The orange one is really bright and fun… Perfect for game days if orange is one of your school’s colors. This outfit is my little nod at the University of Florida!)
The size is perfect to fit the essentials without feeling like you’re lugging a large tote.
PS And, because Kate Spade loves students and teachers, they offer 15% off all purchases (in store only)! Just bring your school I.D. to take advantage of this amazing discount.
Maybe it's just my lighting, but that purse looks more pinkish-red than orange! It's a great colour, either way 🙂 I love cross body bags too, there are certain situations that I wouldn't want to carry anything else!
What a great outfit post! The bag is so cute, but what I am also really loving is your dress. Navy + white stripes, what could be better. Does it seem to fit true to size? The cut of the dress is really flattering, pieces that are fitted around the waist are always best for me. Hope your move is going well! xo
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart

I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical) – @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!) – @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair) – @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine: – @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen – @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1) – @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay) – @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly) – @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose) – @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony) – @honest Extreme Length Mascara – @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition) – @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using: – Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items – Google docs for writing/brainstorming – Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...) – Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs – Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines – Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
Maybe it's just my lighting, but that purse looks more pinkish-red than orange! It's a great colour, either way 🙂 I love cross body bags too, there are certain situations that I wouldn't want to carry anything else!

It's definitely a bright orange– the sun was setting so it looks a bit richer orange/red in the photos!
The shape of that bag is just perfect!! I love how the handles stick up 🙂 That bright color is so perfect!

Very cute bag. I really like crossbody bags, especially for walking around the city.
This is the ideal bag. Love the structure.

The structure of the bag is beautiful! It's such a great size too!
Beautiful purse that works so well as a pop of color! It does look more red-pink in the pictures though

Still love the ease of a cross body bag,even though my kids are grown.Easy to carry in the groceries,or an armful of flowers….very pretty!
I wish this purse was coming off with the true color, it definitely looks red in these pictures!

What a great outfit post! The bag is so cute, but what I am also really loving is your dress. Navy + white stripes, what could be better. Does it seem to fit true to size? The cut of the dress is really flattering, pieces that are fitted around the waist are always best for me.
Hope your move is going well! xo
I got one in a similar color (https://instagram.com/p/2Rq9XsykvW/?taken-by=shopfashionably) and it quickly became a favorite of mine! It goes with a surprising amount of outfits, even though it isn't a neutral. Love your dress!
