Every September, I start looking forward to apple picking. I don’t even know why it makes me so happy, but it does.
This year, I went with Carter to take some fun photos and to bring some apples home, of course. I actually had so many apples that I had bags to give away to my friends! (Don’t worry, I saved quite a few for myself!)
Oh gosh, YES. This guest post from Maxie is something we should all be considering. When I think about what I have time for and what I don’t, I’m really saying, these are my priorities, and these are not. I’ve personally been doing my own exercise of priorities this year and I realized where I had…
HAPPY OCTOBER. How on earth is it October already? I swear it feels like it was May about a week ago. October is one of my favorite months for outfit planning because #plaid. But also because I can dip into my cool weather wardrobe without having to bundle up. To celebrate the new month, I’ve rounded up twenty…
Do you guys have a lot of weddings coming up? Most of my friends are either already married or not in relationships, so I’ve been in a weird “in between” stage as far as weddings. I am going out to San Fransisco in the middle of October for the wedding of one of my boyfriend’s…
This week was filled with highs and lows. Well, one major low… I had a major back spasm! I pulled my lower back last week while cleaning (ugh) and it felt sore but generally okay this weekend. On Monday, it was starting to spread up my back, and on Tuesday, I could hardly move. I…
I’ve been slowly making changes to my bedroom over the past year or so. I’m so bad at this stuff, so it takes me forever until I feel like things are coming together. You know how on television shows when they have the decorator come in and pull the design together in two hours? That’s…
I have come to terms with the fact that I will never have perfect skin. I’m very fair, so I am pretty suseptible to sun exposure (I think I’m always a little bit sunburned even with my best sunscreen efforts). I also have sensitive skin so the littlest thing (a bad fragrance, a weird color, something…
My friend Molly’s book is coming out this week! I wanted to help her promote it, so she wrote a (super!!!!) helpful guest post for the blog. We met a few years ago after speaking on a panel together, and I was actually already subscribed to her blog too. This guest is particularly apropos considering…
Remember when I wore a beret last winter? I was seriously hoping the trend would stick around. I have always loved berets. (My sister and I had a few from Gap Kids back in the day, and I would convince her to match with me, mostly because I didn’t give her a choice.) They’re everywhere now, and I couldn’t be happier.
A beret definitely screams cooler weather to me. While we had a few chilly days, the heat seems to be back with a vengeance. I’ve been trying to challenge myself to put together cute outfits for this in-between season. A nod to fall without actually melting.

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
