This is a little random, but it’s been on my mind a lot lately. The “self-help” genre can be kind of hit or miss. Generally speaking, I feel like if you’re looking for some kind of answer in your life, you can find meaning or “help” in any kind of book. Like a confirmation bias…
I’ve been kind of Marie KondÅ-ing my life lately. If you’re unfamiliar,Ā Marie KondÅ is the woman beingĀ The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,Ā a book that gives you strategies and tips for totally decluttering your home. The essence of the tips can be boiled down to: does this object bring me joy. Of course in actual life,…
This week didn’t go as planned. We were supposed to be moving, but things have been delayed (wah!) and we’re now on hold. I’m so excited that being patient is proving difficult. The silver lining is that I hadn’t planned a single thing for this entire week so I’ve had so much more “free” time…
Elena sent me an email about how her personal style has evolved over the years and I related in a lot of ways having moved a lot throughout my life as well. She’s sharing five outfits as for the 1 Girl, 5 Outfits series: Hi everyone! My name is Elena, and Iām a 23-year-old law…
Happy Friday friends! This week was pretty uneventful for me in a good way. I was able to get a lot accomplished and I’m going into this long weekend feeling great. One weird thing happened to me though: I had a panic attack (at the gym š«). The crazy thing about it is that I…
When I was invited to stay at the Hamilton Princess in Bermuda, I was most excited about visiting the beaches. The hotel itself isn’t directly on the beach but instead has a private beach club not too far away.Ā Traveling during the “off-season” is always a risk, pretty much wherever you go. On Saturday, the weather ended up being pretty gorgeous. It was a little bit chilly when the wind picked up, but otherwise, it was clear and sunny.
You know what we’re coming up on?! April 25th aka the perfect date! “It’s not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket!” I’m hoping that by the time April 25th rolls around all we need really is a light jacket. Fingers crossed! I’m partnering with Bernardo to share this amazing…
Now, I’mĀ pretty good about getting out the door for classes, but sometimes I need a little motivation, like super cute and comfortable outfits. The J. Crew x New BalanceĀ collectionĀ has been a favorite of mine. They mix and match well, so I can put together the best looks for whatever I’m doing. (I like different fits for yoga versus weightlifting versus cardio.) You can imagine my excitement when J. Crew asked me to partner on a post sharing some of the latest collection.
Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.Ā ~Henry James I could not agree more. Ā This week has just been wonderful. Ā I’ve let my mind get a little bit too much in “summer mode” and I had to start writing down all my…
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»

send this to your best friend 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!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
