My first job was an interesting one. (I worked at a tech startup for 13 months right out of college.) I wouldn’t change it at all because it was a valuable experience no matter which way you slice it. There were plenty of good days and there were plenty of bad days, but they all…
I am so in love with this post for a few reasons. One, it was requested by a reader. I can’t even begin to tell you how much your emails and snaps and tweets and comments make my day. They really do! Two, Maxie dug up an old post that brought back so many memories. I…
It’s been a while since I put together a playlist and I’m kind of obsessed with this one. There are so many great songs on the radio right now, and I included some throwbacks for good measure. (Can you tell I’ve been watching old O.C. episodes?!) Dress + Hat I’m always looking for good songs… Let…
Happy Saturday! I took a poll on Twitter last week about what kind of video I should do next and the apartment tour won by a landslide. We’ve lived in this apartment for almost exactly a year so it was perfect timing for this video. Still a few things we want to do, but it’s…
What a week. I really think I pulled myself out of that funk and things were on the up and up this week. We had what I would consider the absolute perfect summer days. Be outdoors as much as possible kind of summer days.
Before I get into the on my radar posts, I have to say how happy you guys make me! Snapchat this week had me in stiches. Between the whole Instagram Stories vs Snapchat debate and then when I snapped about Garrett backing my car into parking spaces… guys, your replies made me literally laugh out loud. For now I’m sticking to Snapchat normally and maybe will post things on Instagram stories, but will likely keep things business as usual!
I finally found the perfect white summer dress. You know, just about a month shy of Labor Day. Better late than never, though, right?
I’ve tried on and returned a few white sundresses this summer, and none felt perfect. I popped into the Lilly store on Greenwich Ave this week though and was immediately drawn to this dress. I saw it in navy first but reminded myself of the navy dresses I already so I pulled the white in my size and added it to the fitting room.
True story, I wore it right out of the store.

I have accumulated quite the collection of clutches over the past year or so. Last year I carried a clutch all summer long instead of a regular purse and ever since then I’ve been hooked on the functionality of them. When I’m not carrying one, chances are I have one tucked inside my tote for extra…
I’ve been on the hunt for a clutch for a wedding I’m attending and while searching, I found this amazing Clare Vivier look-alike clutch. For $25. Twenty-five dollars. When I posted this clutch a couple of months ago on here, I got so many emails asking for something similar but less expensive. While I still think the real deal is worth it (the leather is so dreamy), this clutch is such a good deal I couldn’t not share it.
I really wasn’t feeling myself all of last week. I think it was a combination of things that had me feeling totally out of balance. Coming back from vacations are always hard, but when the trip was so perfect and so much fun, it makes it even harder. Then I realized July was pretty much over and I just love summer so much I don’t like seeing it slip away. I was also exhausted and feeling a little run down after the stress of launching the new site. Blech, I really didn’t feel good mentally.
I hate when I get in these funks. It’s not there’s anything particularly bad going on, just off. I needed to snap out of it, but it wasn’t happening on its own. I decided to spend a few days getting myself back on track.

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
