One of my 2011 goals was to read every day. I’m proud to report that I have been doing SO much reading!!! Little V and I read every night before going to sleep. It’s a great way to wind down before falling asleep. It also gives me incentive to not procrastinate so I can finish…
I’ve gotten lots of emails, tweets, and Tumblr questions inquiring about my summer plans. I’m doing a non-traditional summer before senior year. I’ve never really be one to follow the “normal” path anyway. And I’m finding that it’s suiting me quite well. This summer is officially declared “The Summer of Personal Growth & Development.” Which…
… I wanna be famous. Uh, just kidding. (By the way- if that song isn’t stuck in your head right now… I give you major props.) A little eighth grader emailed me this past week asking a bunch of questions. One of which was what I wanted to be when I grow up…. “even though…
I’ve been getting lots of questions via email, Tumblr, and Twitter about favorite bedding sources for back to school. Shopping for dorm bedding, especially for freshman year, is quite exciting. Before you figure out where you want to get your bedding from there are a few things to keep in mind. 1) Ask current students…
I’ve been questions right now about back to school fashion and this post addresses a common question, but I think applies to a lot of things, not just back to school. There’s this whole notion of wanting to look nice every day for class. (I know it’s not for everyone, but I’m a believer in…
I spent a lot of time walking around this week. One of the questions I get most frequently via email and Tumblr is what shoes to wear when traveling. A caveat a lot of people throw in is that they don’t want to look like a tourist. Here’s my thing about that… if you’re a tourist, nine…
We had a chilly end of September and then, naturally, a heat wave came barreling through the city. It was so strange to go from beautiful (and perfect) sweater weather to pulling shorts back out of the closet. One day was so warm, I went for Jacks, chino shorts, and a polo shirt. Even with the…
Maybe it’s the rise of Netflix or my increasing obsession with reading, but I rarely go to the movie theatre. The only movies I’ve seen this year in a theatre was Les Mis on New Years’ Day and then The Great Gatsby this summer. Garrett and I were invited to go see a screening of About Time….
I remember way back in middle school, Juicy tubes were the in thing. If your lips didn’t have at least a half inch of the gloss, you were just not cool. I could not stand having that goo slathered on… My hair would get stuck every two minutes and I hated the fake taste of…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvinesā the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. https://liketk.it/4Rcup #ad #edsftg
With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether weāre commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (š¤), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, Iām just so glad youāre here. Iāve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. Weāve gone through so many life stages together. š«¶š»

@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! Thereās something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. š«¶š» We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and itās just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years agoā¦ that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chiliās... Even as an extreme introvert, Iām kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. šāļøš¤āØ (Comment āfall outfitā and Iāll send you a link to everything Iām wearing!)
