Six Dresses Under $150
How to Feel Like an Adult (four apps to try!)
I don’t know when it happened, but all of a sudden I’m feeling, like, super grown up. Not in my thirties exactly (although I’m totally ready to be thirty, flirty, and thriving), but I feel like an adult. My friend and I were walking to lunch the other day and there were a bunch of…
#ProjectApartment Is Underway
I’m getting there. I don’t completely hate my apartment right now. That is progress. My bank account? Not so pleased. But… that’s okayish. I’ve been on an absolute mission to get my apartment in decent shape. There’s nothing like a hard deadline (omg Wednesday) to kick things into full gear. Plus I’ve been here for…
ELLE | Horoscopes
I’m not really sure how I feel about horoscopes, but I read them. All the time. If I come across a link online, I click on it. If I’m reading a magazine, I read it. I search for consistencies with my life, but almost always fail to see any real connection to my reality. Except…
New Business Cards!
As soon as I pulled the trigger on the new website design, I knew I needed a business card refresh. I had a bunch made a while ago to match my iPhone case, but I wanted a refresh. To match. Of course. I loved my business cards from Moo so much the first time that…
Featured: The Style Line
The Style Line just relaunched and I’m so honored that they featured me! It was really fun spending time with The Style Line’s CEO Rachel Schwartzmann. We went to all of my favorite little places around the Upper East Side. Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time on the UES, but it’s just one of…
Giveaway :: Three Jane Map Necklace
This is such a perfect giveaway for the month of August. A bunch of you guys are heading back to school (woo!) and even if you aren’t, it’s still great! Three Jane is a jewelry line by Katie Schloss. (Three Jane is an imaginary address since Jane Street jumps from one to five! How cute?!) …

Get Her Look: Reese Witherspoon
I just love Reese Witherspoon’s style. It’s chic and classic and still comfortable. (Have I mentioned before how being comfortable is key for me?) Oh, and everything she wears always looks beyond put together, but oh-so-effortless. How does she manage to do it? I was on Pinterest (#standard) and my friend was pinning, like, a…

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!
