A classic look with classic books 📚🧥 @jcrew updated their iconic trench with a longer, more modern length and I’m loving it! I love it paired with these black jeans and a simple white tee for a causal look and it would also look chic with heels and a cute little dress for a night out! 🖤 #injcrew #ad

one year in the books of BROTHERS FOREVER 🫶🏻 I can’t believe how big both boys have gotten in just one year…. My heart can barely take it. I can’t remember life without them and, truly, it feels like they’ve always been a part of me. #brothers
@ohmymahjong hooked me UP! Learning mahjong has been on my mind for a while and this year we finally made it happen! My 97 year old grandma Charlotte plays mahjong every week- and now that I have learned, I know what’s been keeping her so young! Mahjong is FUN and the perfect mix of luck and strategy. The rules can be a lot to learn (I’m still learning for sure) but it’s easy to pick up with a good teacher.
Thank you #ohmymahjong for all the fun goodies… chic tiles, a handy mat, great organizers! Everything we need for our next mahjong girls night! #mahjong
🏈🍴 As a #HoodPartner, I’m bringing my A-game with a chili bar featuring the ultimate all-star—@hphood Sour Cream. Made with real Hood Milk and Cream, every bite’s a win with high quality flavor!
When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!

Hi Carly! LOVE these finds-It’s NEVER too early for tartan! I absolutely love these flats, but wondering if you had any tips for blisters. I find myself getting blisters with EVERY AND ANY flat! I’ve had to stick to backless mules, but I’m missing out on a ton of cute options! Any tips?
Love the tartan dress! So cute!!
