I’m going to do a separate post for Black Friday. Although, don’t you feel like all the sales have kind of already started? It’s now called “Cyber Week,” apparently. Crazy! I will say though that I think this year the sales are better than ever, but I didn’t want to skip over my “On My…
I have something up my sleeves and let me tell you, it’s been a miracle and a half that I haven’t spilled the beans yet. STAY TUNED. Don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long!!! Getting back into the swing of things after Dallas wasn’t as easy as planned. My inbox only made me cry…
This week didn’t exactly go as planned. I had a big shoot planned for Tuesday, but it poured all day long. Complete torrential downpour. At one point, I checked the radar again just to make sure it wasn’t going to miraculously clear up and almost immediately it started to thunder. I thought, “Okay, okay… I get it!”…
The best part about three day weekends that end with a Monday? You get a four day week! I’ve been trying to squish in everything during four days… and majorly wishing Memorial Day weekend could have lasted forever. So… more photos 😉 Wearing: Lilly Pulitzer Sweater (the cutest anchor on it!) // Old Lilly Shorts…
I’ve been bopping between Connecticut and New York City a lot the past week. I opted out of a few things just so I could stay home and get some work done. I haven’t had a lot of “desk time” during the day lately which has translated to really late nights and one tired Carly. On Saturday,…
Earlier this week, I had the chance to see a preview of Pitch Perfect 2. Oh, my, goodness. Hilarious. I loved the first one so I kind of had standards for this one and it didn’t disappoint. It’s definitely a sequel, but the jokes are too funny and the singing is great! I went alone…
Oy. This week. That’s really all I have to say about how this week went. Let’s just say, there was a lot of pizza, s’mores, and ice cream consumed. Let’s just skip right down to the fun stuff… What’s been on my radar: ONE // The Perfect Summer Beach House This. This. This. THIS. I’m first…
After coming off of the excitement high from attending the Tony Awards Gala, this week was pretty low-key. Honestly, they’re the weeks I crave. I tried to keep my meetings and external obligations to a minimum (five meetings, two phone calls, and only one event is as good as it gets!) so I can do some…
This week, I packed it all in. I felt stronger during yoga classes, squeezed in an upcoming shoot for a campaign, had a couple of friend dates, and (get ready for it…), passed my scuba exam! Garrett convinced me to take a scuba course with him. It was challenging in a great way. If you’re…
Mom and dad proof of life ✌🏻 Also, what a difference it makes having a baby that takes a bottle 🙏🏻 It felt WILD to me going out! Still figuring out pumping on the go, and still went back home to nurse overnight… but wow!
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical.

Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
