Now that we’re officially into spring, I am just about over the moon. I’m definitely over this “winter.” 2012 was okay, but the minute the clock struck midnight and the year flipped to 2013, everything went seemingly downhill. Especially the weather. It’s quite annoying right about now. Besides that it’s still very much chilly (if not…
We walk so much in New York City in general. Even working at a desk (and hardly moving) the entire day, I still walk a ton. Now that I have the Jawbone UP band though, I walk even more. It’s top of mind for me knowing that my steps are being tracked. I choose to…
Everyone (right, it’s not just me?) is sitting on the edge of their seats for spring. Despite the near-freezing temperatures, I’ve been on a mission to wear my ballet flats more. If nothing else, I burn a few extra calories because I end up speed walking to get home– and inside– quicker! I think it’s…
This has been the fastest month ever. Yes, it’s a short month… but it’s still flying by! I feel like I can hardly catch my breath. I think being sick for over a week ensured that I was in some sort of a daze induced from tissues and cough drops during that. I’ve been really…
Read–ing Drive: The Surprising Truth ABout What Motivates Us by Daniel Pink This is a really interesting book! I brought home a stack of books from the Levo office to read over break, so I’m trying to wrap this one up. I may or may not have been quoting it last week and/or referencing specific…
I am honestly shocked at how quickly this semester is getting underway. Senior year is very… different than the previous three. So far I love… Taking classes I actually want to take. TAing for my favorite class ever. (It’s like I’m taking it again!) Having a meal plan. The dining hall has a lot of issues that they…
College Prep sponsor Allatia Jane has some of the cutest socks. I always wear funny and crazy socks underneath my boots. These “Notes to Self” socks are seriously funny… but also have a good message! I think they’d make the best Christmas presents for friends and family and coworkers– perfect stocking stuffers. All of the messaging…
College Prep’s latest sponsor is Darien Sport. The website has great brands and product offerings for men, women, and children. The women’s selection is particularly great. You can stock up on everything from Patagonia jackets to Hunter rain boots to Ray-Bans. They also have a really great selection of Vineyard Vines. Some of my favorites are…….
This week has been crazy and I’m really looking forward to this weekend. After going back and forth about a million and a half times, I’ve decided to go to Boston again this weekend. It’s the Head of the Charles regatta…. but I’m really going because LITTLE V is stateside!!!! It’s been so so so…
Happy October 11 to all who celebrate 🎂”Your birthday is October 11?! So is mine!” SIX years later and these parent trap Halloween costumes remain as relevant as ever (frankly maybe even more relevant). Forever grateful to @carlyahill, the Hallie Parker to my Annie James. I believe there was a cultural reset the day we did this 🙊
Sometimes I actually can’t believe I’m a mom? Like I’m standing there holding a baby dressed in a bear fleece bunting watching my toddler running around and thinking, “whoa, these are my CHILDREN? I am a MOM???” Crazy and amazing 🫶🏻
Hunter boots 🤝🏻 Carly
I know, I know, they never went “out” in my opinion too, but I love seeing them come back into mainstream fashion. (As they should IMO!) These red boots were one of my first viral commissionable products on my blog- they took OFF on Pinterest and the rest was history. Feels like revisiting an old friend 😌 I bought these red ones right before a press trip to Scotland (!) with Barbour (!!) and I have the best memories. It’s a good reminder to “buy nice or buy twice.” Ten years later and we’re still going strong!
Barn Jacket is @oldnavy, embroidered by @bobinettedesigns (inspired by @goldcoastdyes)
What would Audrey Hepburn wear in 2024? I think she’d wear something like this! Shop my head to toe look from @EvereveOfficial in my LTK Shop! https://liketk.it/4SYrI #EverevePartner #EvereveStyle
Can you believe that Teddy is 11 years old? We recently switched to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It combines all the benefits of raw nutrition with the convenience of kibble. Each kibble-sized bite is crafted with freeze-dried raw meat and individually prepared ingredients for optimal digestibility, making it extremely convenient AND nutritious. #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
Ready for a fresh start this month. September is usually my favorite month of the year and I feel like it went by so fast I hardly got to enjoy it- the whole thing was a blur. Ready to savor October- I have a list of things I want to try to do (like sewing the boys’ Halloween costumes 🎃 and keep practicing my sourdough 🍞). If nothing else, I’m trying to take a moment *every day* to do something, even the tiniest 5-minute interlude, that brings me a moment of peace.
PS I definitely need to add some of the bigger blooms but I didn’t want to sacrifice them just yet 🙈
A simple September Sunday 🌧️💛 We’ve been trying to get out and do one last weekend adventure after naptime on Sunday afternoons before gearing back up for the weekday routine. Not even the rain could stop us!
Maybe this Reel isn’t exactly “instagram worthy” but it’s exactly what life looks and feels like right now and THAT is worthy of a permanent spot on the feed 🫶🏻
