Back today with another iPhone recap of the past two weeks. There’s a bagel shop within walking distance of our house that I love. Not going to lie, I almost always go just for the hazelnut coffee– which is amazing. I popped over there with Meghan before her train back into the city and decided to…
My sister is here for a few days! I’m so excited to show her around town and to just hang low. I think we’re going to do a Halloween type movie night– maybe throw it back to Halloweentown or one of the Harry Potter movies. Popcorn, candy, pizza. Just an old fashioned girls’ night in. (Isn’t that…
This is a little bit of a follow up to this post from the first week of October. I mentioned how versatile I thought this leopard skirt was and I totally stand by that. It’s a great skirt. The longer I have it in my closet, the more ways I think about styling it. (I’m going…
I am so excited for Halloween this year. I don’t think I’ve been this excited since high school. After we outgrew trick or treating, we had this tradition with one of our close family friends’ that we would go to their house to hang out. In middle school, that meant Razor-scootering on the sidewalk (with light-up…
Shopbop just added a TON of product to their sale section. I almost titled this, “I went through 45 pages of the Shopbop sale so you don’t have to.” LOL. I often wish when these big department stores would have a “Carly filter” and just show me what I’d actually like. That’s basically what this…
If nothing else comes from this post, you’ll at least know that a) I wasn’t kidding when I said I was obsessed with black and green right now and b) I REALLY love this style of shirt. I’ve had it for a couple of years now (and own it in four colors, whoops). I just love…
My friend Taylor asked me to come with her to Create & Cultivate’s Small Business Summit. Truth be told, she was interested because she is (unquestionably) Sophia Bush’s number one fan, and Sophia was the keynote speaker. I spoke at a previous Create & Cultivate event and really liked it. I had been trying to make…
We have a pretty cute little corner bookstore on our town’s main street. It was a huge selling point for me when we made decisions about where we wanted to live. It has a pretty good selection and I love supporting local bookstores when I can. It does have a community hub, but I wish…
Ugh. Why is shopping in the fall season SO tempting. It’s my ultimate shopping weakness. I am just glad that I live somewhere where I can actually make use out of chunky sweaters, corduroys, and cute jackets. Looking through back to school catalogs growing up in Florida was always incredibly disappointing. Ha! I wanted to…
Holiday magic is in full swing at our house, and this year we’ve added a new tradition: listening to classic holiday audiobooks together! 🎄✨ From How the Grinch Stole Christmas! to A Christmas Carol, @audible has been a lifesaver, turning everyday moments like car rides and baking cookies into cozy family memories. 🥰 Bonus: new customers can get Audible Premium Plus for just $0.99 for 3 months (and a $20 credit if you sign up by 12/2)! 🎄 #AudiblePartner #audible #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
Matching aprons from @weezietowels!
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you.

#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
