Two outfit posts in a short period of time? Fashion week must be rubbing off on me. This weekend has been oh-so-fun. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about appointments and meetings and shows and brunches in a row, but it ended up being totally fine. Y’all. I do not have the stamina for…
The Kate Spade presentations are my favorite part of New York Fashion Week. While it’s definitely fun to go to runway shows at Lincoln Center, I really prefer presentations. You get to catch up with friends and you can also see the clothes super up close. During a runway show, everything happens so fast. It’s over…
This whole fashion week thing is bittersweet. Bitter being crowds and seriously hurting feet. Sweet being lots of old friends and new friends in the same place! I’d absolutely suffer through the sore feet for the friends part. Today Mackenzie and I went to one of the shows at Lincoln Center, met up with a…
This is such a fun giveaway with Cinco Powell. A cute tote, a monogrammed touch, and a colorful tassel? Pretty perfect. The winner will get to choose a bag, tag, and a tassel! The bag is completely customizable and the options are seemingly endless. You can add one tassel, two, or three. A monogrammed tag. Or…
I have a very “mom” tendency. You know when you’re labeled the “mom” of the group? That’s me. Bandaids, stamps, sewing kit, lip balm, ponytail holders, spare Metrocards, mints, medicine… Pretty much everything I carry with me at all times. Mostly for myself and my sanity, but also to help save others! I’m the girl…
Please consider all of these items from Tuckernuck officially on my fall wishlist. xoxo
Typical Carly. Online shopping. It’s turned into a nearly terrible habit. But I have been pretty good about just window shopping 😉 Shopbop gets me nearly every time. Too many amazing brands and great sales from time to time. Oh, oh, oh. How absolutely adorable is this brand? I love how casual and chic the…
This is one of my favorite Levo League articles. Mostly because it seriously cracks me up. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back in action. (Personally, I think it tastes okay… but I just can’t do it because of the color. Yuck.) We took some favorite Starbucks drinks and ran a (obviously extremely scientific) personality test…
Oh man, oh man. I cannot wait to start wearing loafers again. I’ve been super into ballet flats (Cece flats from J. Crew are the best), but I think loafers are just the cutest. I mean, Nancy Drew was like my childhood hero. Naturally, I love a good loafer. I have a couple of basic…
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
