One of the worst problems about blogging and social media is that everything can start feeling “perfect.” Too perfect. Actually, it drives me crazy personally because I find myself comparing my life to what I assume to be these perfect lives I follow on Instagram or Twitter… and then I remember that my own life…
I have a partnership with Madewell for Instagram posts this holiday season and I was so into the outfit I wore for the first round, that I had to share it here too. Everything besides the jeans was gifted and this post isn’t sponsored, but the Instagram is… just for extra disclosure! I know I…
I’m doing a campaign with J. Crew on Instagram today and I wanted to share the photos here because I just love how they turned out and I wanted to talk about the inspiration behind it. I think I’ve talked about the process of collaborations on here, but often you get a lookbook with pieces…
I was really excited that Sezane wanted to partner with me for a couple of Instagram posts. I have a running list of “dream partnerships” and Sezane has been on it ever since I discovered the brand. And I love everything that the French brand does. The styles are simply perfection. (And they have a…
Here’s what I’ve been up to the past couple of weeks according to my iPhone. It’s been a bit more of the same š I finished my little needlepointed striped shirt by Sara Fitz. I did the background and will eventually do a small frame of it! I thought it came out so cute… it…
I can’t get over this outfit! I feel like I’m seeing two very distinct patterns emerging with fashion right now. On one hand I’m seeing SO much color and patternā vibrant dresses, punchy shoes. On the other hand, there’s been a big return of simple classics, too. I love seeing more color on my Instagram…
I LOVE to workout. I never thought I’d be that kind of person who’d enjoy going to the gym, but after starting my fitness journey about two years ago, I haven’t looked back. There have been some great moments and the occasional “valleys” of success. Overall though, it’s been an upward trend. For a myriad…
Sporty Sister moved into an apartment (she’s a sophomore at UF) and I was enlisted to make her a subway art sign. If you remember, I made one with the family rules last summer. I used Lil Blue Boo’s tutorial again. Ashley does a great job describing the actual steps, so check her blog out…
My good friend Kearsley has been introduced on my blog before as the owner and creative mind behind Tipsy Skipper. But I’m even more excited to share her most recent endeavor: custom monograms through Kearsley Lloyd Designs. Kearsley is incredibly talented and I love what she’s decided to do with her talent. The custom monograms…
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!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
