It’s seriously getting close to riding boot season!!! Oh, I’m excited. Even though we’ve had some chilly days (mostly just chilly mornings) here in Manhattan, I really can’t wear boots until it’s “officially” fall– I think it’s more of a mental thing more than anything. And that day is just a few days away! (September…
The Nordstrom Anniversary sale officially starts today. It’s pretty much one of the best sales of the year for a few reasons. The prices are amazing. Nordstrom has free (FAST!) shipping and free returns. You’re getting sale prices on pre-season clothing so it’s not like you have to wait an entire year to wear. In my…
You have to move super fast on the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. Seriously… things sell like hot cakes. Probably because it’s better than Christmas. (Christmas in July!) The sale is always a time when I get great deals on my fall staples. Both pairs of my Tory Burch riding boots were bought during the sale in years…
I’ve had my riding boots for eight years, and they keep getting better with every passing season. I love that I have never had to replace them and that they’re timeless. I think that they’re something worth investing in, especially if you fall in love with a pair. But I do understand that everyone has different budgets. There are some super adorable options out there no matter what you end up spending.
It’s not boot season yet, but…. we’re getting closer! They’ve been an essential part of my fall wardrobe since at least college. I mean, a fall dress with boots? J’adore. But they also work with casual outfits! And they’re warm! I’m always on the hunt for the best fall boots and this is a pretty solid roundup…
It’s officially boot season here. And I am so excited! I just think boots look super cute with tons of different outfits. But, they’re also one of my favorite things to wear because… I always wear crazy socks underneath. Always. It’s kind of like how tech venture capitalists wear funny socks. I only like to wear…
Okay, please don’t hate me. I mean, I’m seriously living in sandals, but I’ve already been lusting over the new Tory Burch boots. But at least it’s somewhat okay since we can title it Christmas in July. Right? Right. I got a pair of Tory Burch riding boots when I was a freshman in college and…
I love riding boots. A pair of riding boots was one of the first things I bought when I knew I was leaving Florida for colder weather in DC. My mom bought them for me during a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and they have served me very, very well through the years. (I still have them!) They’re…
Okay. This Florida girl will never be used to the cold weather. Ever. Garrett is convinced I have Seasonal Affective Disorder and I’m not exactly arguing with it. The sun setting at 3pm is getting old… fast. I’m also kind of sick of getting dressed in the morning. I either feel stuffy and uncomfortable with…
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep.

We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️
