HALLOWEEN BASKETS

Guys, I truly don’t know why I can’t get Halloween out of my mind. I have to admit that it used to be my least favorite holiday as a kid. Loved the costumes…. hated trick or treating. In my memory, I had ear infections for the first few Halloweens in my memory… and then we…

ON MY RADAR 9.15.23

I can’t believe it’s Friday already? This week flew by in a blur– I barely know which way is up! I’m hoping our days start settling into a routine because I feel so discombobulated. Jack crushed his first couple of days at preschool and we had lots of fun enjoying time at the park together,…

WHAT I BOUGHT ON AMAZON IN AUGUST

August was a great end to a whirlwind summer. We had family time at the lake, celebrated Jack’s second birthday, and spent lots of time playing outside. As summer winds down, I’m enjoying the return to routine, feeling like I’m back in my groove work-wise, and very excited for fall! What I Bought on Amazon…

BEST SWEATERS FOR WOMEN 2023

I’ll admit it: I need another sweater like I need a hole in my head. Add in the space and maintenance they require, and really I should just consider downsizing my collection. That said, I get a lot of wear out of them and never regret keeping one handy. With cooler days on the horizon,…

I’ve always stuck to a pretty minimal routine– partly out of laziness and not wanting to spend a ton of time every morning doing makeup and partly because I don’t like the look of wearing too much makeup in general. Minimal makeup just works for…

BEST FALL BOOTS OF 2023

It’s not boot season yet, but…. we’re getting closer! They’ve been an essential part of my fall wardrobe since at least college. I mean, a fall dress with boots? J’adore. But they also work with casual outfits! And they’re warm! I’m always on the hunt for the best fall boots and this is a pretty solid roundup…

DIARY No. 105

Here’s what I’ve been up to the last couple of weeks according to my camera roll! I decided to give the Teleties claw clip a try and I love it. It holds so much hair. (I’ve broken many a claw clip trying to get all my hair secured!) Plus I love the shape and color….

ON MY RADAR 9.8.23

This week’s theme has basically been weddings! Mike and I celebrated our third anniversary on Tuesday and tonight we’re in Boston for Mike’s cousin’s wedding and then we’re back in NJ for a friend’s wedding. Love is in the air! We went to Gramercy Tavern for dinner and they served us the cutest little cake on…
