After spending a good time organizing my apartment this weekend, I found myself revisiting some of my favorite titles. I even found my Nook in one of the drawers in my living room. Reading has played such an important role in my adult life. The truth is that I hated to read when I was growing up….
GADABOUT It’s GIVEAWAY time over here at College Prep… and it’s perfect timing. Stationery and notecards are going to be hugely important in the next few months between hostess gifts, thank you notes, and holiday cards. So it’s about time that everyone start stocking up on them! You would be absolutely crazy not to grab…
After getting really into (I mean, really into) the podcast Serial, I now love to listen to podcasts. Even if I don’t love the premise of a show or can’t 100% the exact podcast, it’s still fun to listen along. I’m also pretty sure that listening to podcasts couldn’t be easier or more convenient if…
I’m in denial that July is over. It happens every single year though. May and June move nice and slow at a normal, relaxed pace and then you blink and July is over. So yep. Here we are on the final day of July. Luckily for me, I have some fun things lined up (a…
Have you heard the buzz about Net-A-Porter’s new magazine PORTER? A retailer creating its own fashion magazine? It certainly piqued my interest. I’ve been buying the occasional magazine when I’m bored or if a particular cover story looks interesting. However, I’m always done with the magazine in about forty minutes… an hour tops. I bit…
Guysssss….. I’m going to Paris next month. If you’ve been following here for a while, you know that it’s been a major dream of mine, but I just haven’t been able to make it work.Ā Even though I’ve had my eyes set on Paris, it’s also made me extremely nervous. Whenever I’ve traveled to new countries,…
GUYS! ForĀ years I have wanted to journal. Even as a kid, I’d attempt to start a diary over and over again. I have plenty of journals scattered around my childhood bedroom with the one pageā maybe twoā used. There was something so ~cool~ to me about having a diary to write my deepest thoughts in….
I just wrote a quick little article for my friends at the Levo League about learning beyond the classroom. I mention that one of my new things that I’m learning is Adobe. I’m officially a member of a group of college bloggers and received a full copy of Adobe Creative Suite… I. Am. In. Heaven….
A ton of my friends have tried eyelash extensions and it seems like every blogger/vlogger on the internet has them too. I have to admit, I was intrigued. My eyelashes have always been something I’ve been self-conscious about. Despite having dark hair, my eyelashes for whatever reason are lighter and very thin/short/sparse. The eyelash extensions…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvinesā the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. https://liketk.it/4Rcup #ad #edsftg
With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether weāre commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (š¤), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, Iām just so glad youāre here. Iāve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. Weāve gone through so many life stages together. š«¶š»

@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! Thereās something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. š«¶š» We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and itās just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years agoā¦ that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chiliās... Even as an extreme introvert, Iām kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. šāļøš¤āØ (Comment āfall outfitā and Iāll send you a link to everything Iām wearing!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
