Since my reading goal for the year (52 books!) is a top priority for me, I wanted to make sure that I’m sharing what I’m reading with you guys every month. (This is also going to help me stay on track and motivated and accountable.) I have monthly recaps penciled into my editorial calendar for…
I can’t even pretend to wear anything besides camel, white, and black at this point. Whoops!!! Anything else just doesn’t seem to work for me in the dead of winter. Even though it’s a neutral, I’m definitely considering camel a pop of color for me! Paravel sent me this little crossbody. I actually was eyeing…
One of the best turning points in a friendship, in my opinion, is when you get past the niceties and deep dive into vulnerability and openness. I can remember with each friend what conversation or moment crossed the line from “friendly” to true friends. Sometimes I get lazy with new friendships because, let’s be honest,…
I actually can’t believe this is the first time I’m wearing this sweater blazer in a blog post. I bought it back in September, and it quickly became a favorite of mine. I don’t think a week has gone by since I’ve slipped it on at some point. When we were hanging onto the last…
If I learned anything from my experience with the KonMari method, it’s that I love a good neutral. Sharing a few neutrals that have caught my eye. TORY BURCH SATCHEL POLO PULLOVER CASHMERE CREWNECK MARGAUX FLATS CABLEKNIT CREWNECK SWEATER BLAZER BOW V-NECK SWEATER CROSSBODY
This week was a blur. Nothing really too exciting, which is fine by me! After a crazy fourth quarter last year, I’m trying my best to be okay with a slow January. It’s always slow, but sometimes mentally I feel like I have to be doing ~all the things~ when in reality it’s the best time…
First, let me just say… I AM SO GLAD I WENT THE iPAD ROUTE. I was debating whether or not I wanted an iPad (versus a lighter laptop), and I definitely made the right choice with the iPad. I had explicitly told my family that I didn’t want anything for Christmas, but my mom insisted…
This is not a new outfit, and it’s not the first time it’s graced the pages of this blog. I feel like I do a pretty great job of re-wearing clothes on here. Yes, I do shop more than the average girl (I think so at least), but I don’t want to give the impression…
January may just be my most uninspired month clothing-wise. Christmas is behind us and I’ve tucked away my tartans and plaids for the season. It’s cold and I’m sick of wearing the same pants every day. And it’s even worse when you have to get a little more dressed up. I really do get into…

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…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳

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

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)
