Tampa Trip

As sad as it can be not living near my family, it’s pretty great they live somewhere fun like Tampa. It’s hard to believe that I’m coming up on my ten year anniversary of moving away after high school. Obviously, I was there during summers and on the occasional break when crew practice didn’t get…

Rugby Dress

Ah! I had a few rugby dresses back in the day and I’m so happy to see that they’re coming back. I had a Lacoste one that I wore all the time in high school. It’s fun to see trends come back around! This dress is from Nordstrom’s new 1901 line. It’s very J. Crew-esque with…

On My Radar

Gosh, guys. This has been one of the best weeks. I had really been feeling burnt out and just kind of down. No one big thing but a bunch of little things that had all added up to an overall feeling of uneasiness. I booked that weekend trip to Ocean House and came back to…

Cherry Blossom Festival with ZYRTEC®

Spring got off to a little bit of a late start this year, but it is now in full bloom, literally. Today’s post is in partnership with ZYRTEC, a brand I love and definitely need in the spring. I recently ventured over to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden for the Sakura Matsuri, aka the Cherry Blossom…

Mother’s Day Surprise

It’s no secret that I love my mom. As I get older, my appreciation and love for her only grow. I feel like my sister and I hit the “mom lottery” and it’s not something I take for granted. Sure, we get on each other’s nerves from time to time, but it’s never anything that…

Memorial Day Packing List with J. Crew

I’m so excited to be partnering with J. Crew for this post. It’s all about creating your wardrobe for Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day is one of my favorite weekends of the year because it’s the “official” start of summer. Summer Fridays kick in, the sun is out longer and brighter, and weekend getaways are…

Where to Start When You Have a BIG Dream

I will never forget the day Maxie scheduled a “meeting” (i.e. a regular coffee date) with me and told me she wanted to start a blog. I have helped a LOT of people over the years get social media accounts and blogs off the ground, but no one comes close to how excited I was…

Chambray Wrap Dress

Hope you guys have something fun planned for Mother’s Day. I’m so happy to be in Florida celebrating with my mom– and my whole family really. I haven’t been home since Thanksgiving and it’s always nice to be down here. I’ve only been “held hostage” in my mom’s car three times. 😂 (Please tell me that…

My Recent Beauty Finds

So a new Sephora opened up in Hoboken and, well, I guess I kind of turned into a beauty guru. Just kidding. But it was pretty exciting. It’s a “studio” store, which pretty much means it has a smaller but more curated selection of brands and items. When I moved to Hoboken, I was surprised…
