a little bit of life, a little bit of style, and everything in between.

I was so excited that @MyMyrtleBeach invited me to come play pickleball with them! I am obsessed with pickleball and had a blast playing at City Pickle, right here in NYC. We brushed up on the rules, practiced some dinking, and got to play a few rounds of the game– it was the perfect way to spend the day because everyone plays at the beach! #ad

I loved watching The Parent Trap growing up and still do to this day. It is one of my go-to comfort movies… There’s so much I love about it: the cast, the soundtrack, and (of course!) the wardrobe. We all have a little Annie James and a little Hallie Parker in us! I’ve always been drawn to Annie’s style, but love the carefree nature of Hallie’s. #parenttrap @nmeyers #tuckernucking

The British brand @me_andem is now available in the US! If you are on the hunt for beautifully tailored, quiet luxury pieces for your wardrobe, you have to take a peek. The clothing is the highest quality and feels designer, but since they are direct to consumer, they don’t have the typical designer markup. The brand follows what they call “The Three Fs”: flattering and functional, with wear-forever appeal with each piece they create checking all three boxes! #meandem Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk! https://liketk.it/4j8Hg #liketkit

I`ve been looking forward to cooler temps and fall activities.... and the outfits that go along with them! @saksoff5th is having a sitewide sale now through 9/24– save an additional 25% OFF orders $150+ with code ITSON (excluding select brands and products) The perfect time to stock up on pieces for your fall and winter wardrobe. @CollectiveVoiceHQ #ad #SaksOFF5th

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.

Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!

Fall for me means tailored blazers, touches of corduroy, and cozy sweaters… @jcrew, as always, has us covered with all the classics! Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/4iOR7 #injcrew #ad

Lovely Headshot. Who took them ? I need to take my headshot also.
Elizabeth Lippman– she's amazing! http://www.elizabethlippman.com/
So so so thrilled for your next chapter! I've been reading TCP for years, and I don't think I could be any more excited to see what you've concocted. You work harder than anyone I know, and you deserve to reap what you have sown for so long. My grandmother always told me to show my blessings in my eyes. Look at your eyes! You're letting those blessings shine, girlfriend! Cheers to your clean slate!

Can't wait to hear your next step! xoxo
That is a seriously good headshot (and I'm an actress so I look at headshots like, all day). No doubt you'll be reaching your goals ASAP. break a leg!
can't wait to learn more about your plans!
Okay so I don't know if I've ever commented on a blog post of yours before, but I am a dedicated reader (I check TCP at least once a day!) and I just wanted to wish you the BEST of luck in whatever dreams you have – you've often inspired me to live my dreams and I know you will have success in yours. Also, your headshot is unreal – those eyes! Thanks for everything. xo, Emma

WOW stunning shots Carly! I've never commented on a blog post before, but TCP is my home page I check it constantly! Incredible photos, they make me so happy to see!
Best, Ellen (@ellsbeautybuzz)
I already told you (via Twitter) that I love this shot of you. You, Carly, are über (is that a cliché term?) inspirational to many women, myself included. I dream of living in the city 5 years from now, focused on my career. Your blog posts keep me striving to reach my goals and I thank you for that oomph you've given me. I look forward to more posts!

The photos are absolutely stunning! Do you carry all your shoulder bags on the right? I do and when I got visa pictures done, the lady had to come over and push my right shoulder down so my shoulders wouldn't be lopsided in the picture!
Your eyes are amazing!

You are quite the role model for us 20-somethings trying to make our way in the world. My favorite headshot is the one you made your twitter handle. Love those glasses.
