If there’s one thing I can’t get enough of right now, it’s gingham. I know it’s kind of a “duh” thing for summer. (I can hear Miranda Priestly right now, “Groundbreaking.”) Last year there were great checked pieces, and this year it seems like everyone has stepped up their gingham game.
Nordstrom just started carrying Draper James (and some exclusive pieces!). I promptly added this gingham dress to my cart!

… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
I personally love the influx of gingham. It’s the perfect print for any outfit.

Gingham looks so lovely – I’ll most definitely be getting into wearing more gingham prints this Spring!
I hope you have a lovely Tuesday Carly,

May I ask how tall you are? At 5ft. tall I’m not sure I can wear a check that big, but I absolutely love that dress! Thanks for sharing.
I’m 5’5″– I haven’t tried the dress on yet (just ordered it) so I’ll report back on social!
Gingham is the best! The funny thing is I don’t think I’ve even noticed the print that much before or cared to wear it. Now I have at least 2 gingham tops and my obsession seems to be growing, especially after this post! The pajamas and green J.Crew shorts are really cute. I also loved when you wore the green gingham off-the-shoulder tie top from J.Crew in a recent post.

Gingham will always be my favorite! Kind of dying over the gingham Supergas, and those Talbots flats!!! xo Devon Seventeen Dresses
I didn’t know that Draper James was going to be carried in Nordstrom. I love Draper James but it is pretty expensive.

I cannot wait to get my hands on some Draper James! I’ve got a Nordstrom gift card burning a hole in my pocket!!
Love all these outfits and Draper James has such cute clothes! Their gingham print Jack Rogers are perfect.
