There’s been quite a few Kate Spade Surprise Sales going on lately. A lot haven’t been that great so I skipped posting about them besides a tweet or two. But the one that launched this morning is extra amazing. So many great handbags!!!
My very top picks: a great crossbody for going out, a leather backpack, this bow back dress that works year round, this pink tweed coat with a perfectly placed bow, and the classic “all wrapped up” pearl necklace featured below.
I interrupt the regularly scheduled programming to bring you what must be the most comfortable brand of pajamas ever. I had a totally different post planned for today but had to push it back to share these PJs… that’s how good these are.
I was on a press mailing for a collaboration with Olly and LAKE Pajamas. Olly makes my favorite vitamins so I happily sent over my address. I typically avoid unnecessary packages as best that I can, but in this case, I was more interested in trying other vitamins. The pajamas they sent over though. WHOA. They’re good.
I’ve been lucky enough to make it over to Nantucket a few times this summer. It really is my happy place. There’s something about walking off that ferry that instantly relaxes me– not an easy feat! This was my first late summer/early fall visit to the island and I have to say, it was my favorite.
It wasn’t exactly beach weather, but it was still nice to visit the windy beach in sweatshirts and jeans watching the surfers wait for the perfect waves.
Traveling to Nantucket with a great group of friends doesn’t hurt. I love this group of people so much… Garrett and I started going on ski trips with them a couple of years ago and it’s been so fun to watch the friendships grow. I’m glad we made a summer trip happen in addition to our winter ski trip. This was an extra special trip for a specific reason (keep scrolling!).
I feel like Louisa must have taken a peek at my calendar for this week. She sent over some amazing recipes that use apples… and we’re planning on apple picking later this week. Last year we ended up with so many extra apples that we gave them away to friends and neighbors. Hopefully, I’ll be…
With fall officially here, I’m so ready to tick off a few things from this bucket list. I like to write things down because the months and seasons fly by. Nothing worse than getting to the end of the season and realizing that I forgot to do half of the things I planned. Some of these…
Are you guys in the mood for new stationery and desk accessories? Even though I got the initial “itch” for new pencils and notepads in August, I kept things under control. That is, until I reorganized my entire desk and took an inventory of what I actually needed. (And, naturally, that list includes a few just-for-fun things as well.)
Ashley Brooke Designs has long been one of my favorite destinations for fun stationery and paper products. Her latest collection is hands down her best one yet.
Is everyone excited that it’s officially fall? The days are shorter, and the temps are dropping, and the leaves are changing. (Well at least it’s chilly in the morning… and then it’s 90 degrees by lunch, ha.) I switched over my closet to my fall/winter wardrobe and started to get excited about all my plaids and flannels…
While no one thing has gone wrong, I’ve had some pretty bad days stacked on top of each other the past week or so. After being sick and knocked off my feet at the beginning of last week, it just felt really difficult to get back into the groove. Add in some more-than-usual stress, both…
An Apple Watch review has, surprisingly, been my top requested post for the past two weeks. (Side note: I love when you send me blog post requests… It ensures that I’m posting things you guys are interested in!) I’ve had the Apple Watch for over a year. Garrett got it for me as a surprise, but…
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_us!
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
