One of my biggest pet peeves with iPhones is how quickly the battery dies. If I only check email and send the occasional text, I can get it to last all day. But more often than not (aka all the time), I’m scrolling through Instagram, snapping photos and videos, watching my friends’ Snapchats. My battery doesn’t cut it. When I’m on the go, it’s especially annoying because I look like a crazy person searching for outlets at restaurants and coffee shops and even stores desperate for a few extra percentages before hitting the road again.
Kate Spade just launched their collaboration with Everpurse and it’s perfect for modern girls on the go.
They sent me a little wristlet just in time for fashion week. It’s pretty slim and the bulk of its width is dedicated to the charging device. However, it’s the perfect size for your true essentials. And it tucks away nicely into a larger tote or backpack. (I always keep a small bag inside of my big totes so if I have to run to the bathroom or get up from a table to order another coffee at a cafe I don’t have to lug my entire tote with me. It’s also perfect if you know you’re going to be ditching your work or school bag and doing something fun at night.)
I carried mine at the Kate Spade fashion show and fit all the items above plus my small camera (and about 10 pony tail holders).
Love the gold lettering on the side.
The bags come with little charging docks to fit iPhone 5, 6, and 6+ (insert praising hands emoji). You can swap them out depending on the size of your phone. Then your phone just clicks right into place and you can get a 2-day phone charge out of the bag before needing to recharge the bag.
The charging mat for the wristlet is super simple. It plugs into the wall and the wristlet pops into place like a magnet.
This is a really cool (and stylish) concept, I would love something like this. Actually, I would've killed for something like this back when I was in university!
Not my best year of outfits- but here are some of my favorites! 2024 was all about feeling comfortable in my skin. I was eight and nine months pregnant in January and February- and then freshly postpartum. I wore four different jean sizes (five if you include maternity!), had to start the process of rebuilding my shoe collection (my feet grew 😭), and I’ve been breastfeeding this whole time so lots of buttons. I tried to lean into more colors and elevated everyday styles. I embraced my body no matter where I was on the scale and stayed true to myself the whole time, while still experimenting and trying new things!

Our year can undoubtedly be measured in love 🫶🏻. While 2024 wasn’t without its challenges, it was also overflowing with moments of joy and gratitude. Welcoming Rory into our family in February was the absolute highlight—nothing quite compares to the magic of those first newborn days.
This year was also filled with adventures to some of our favorite places and plenty of meaningful time with friends and family. Rory has grown from a snuggly, snoring newborn into a lively ten-month-old who loves to eat and play with his big brother. And Jack? He’s gone from my baby to a full-fledged kid—a social butterfly with a love for all things sports (and the skills to match).
For me, this year was a whirlwind—a beautiful mix of the magic and monotony of motherhood: pregnancy, delivery, breastfeeding, and endless caretaking. But amidst the chaos, I found space to nurture myself and pursue what lights me up. I embraced new hobbies (hello, sourdough baking!) and deepened my love for old ones (Rory’s needlepoint stocking is finally complete, and I read 50 books!). I prioritized my well-being with new workouts (@sotomethod has been a game-changer!), dialed in my beauty routines, and even got my colors done.
I also stepped outside my comfort zone, making my first investment in a company beyond my own and hitting a few stretch goals that felt out of reach just a year ago.
Here’s to a year of love, growth, and resilience—and to the excitement of all that 2025 has in store! 💫
This and yap 🤍 Don’t forget to create holiday magic for yourself too! I can’t tell you how nice it was to do some gingerbread decorating without having to follow a three year old’s vision (or fight the sugar battle)! It’s fun to do it with kids, too, but sometimes you just need coffee, baked goods, and little bit of kid-free catch up time with your mom friends! Thank you for hosting @blueskyehouse!!
I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do for fun in 2024. I crossed off exactly zero of them (having a baby will do that to ya) and my only hope of accomplishing one would be to host a cookie exchange! I wanted to SO bad but I was also feeling exhausted after a long year (losing a dog, having a baby, running a business, etc.) and I didn’t know if I had hosting a party in me. I sent out the invitations and told myself I’d figure it out. There was no going back! It was SO FUN though and I will be doing this again. I feel like so much of the holidays as a mom is spent making the magic for kids. It’s Santa meet and greets, Christmas shopping, holiday pageants…. And then seeing Santa again (and again and again). THIS party was for us! 🥂
I ordered this but it got canceled! Too bad they can't ship it to CA due to it not meeting environmental regulations!

OMG that's terrible! Does that mean that Kate Spade is not "environmental friendly" or that CA is just too picky?

Does it fit with your phone case on or do you have to go caseless?
This is brilliant!
Where's your monogram card case from?
I love this idea! And it's so cute, as well as so useful!

I remember seeing Everpurse a while ago and thinking it was such a great concept! Love that they have a Kate Spade version now.
