One of my fears about moving to New York City was that I wouldn’t have room for my clothes. (It wasn’t very high up on my “fears list,” but it was still something I thought of frequently.) I pictured myself as Carrie-Bradshawing my apartment. That is, storing clothes in every nook I could think of–…
Raise your hand if you struggle to figure out what to wear in the morning! I definitely fall into ruts where my clothes seem… worn. I sometimes stand in my closet just feeling completely uninspired. I know I’m not a “fashion blogger,” per say, but just putting my outfits up on Instagram every morning holds…
So, true story… I’ve never been to anything derby related. A lot of Georgetown students go to the Foxfield races, but I’ve never been able to attend because of various scheduling conflicts. I’m really excited, however, because this year, I was asked to be a guest judge at the Fourth Annual Kentucky Derby Party at…
Colorful cap-toe ballet flats are definitely in this year. I have a year-old pair from Kate Spade, but nearly every store seems to have a version on the market right now. Since today is the first day of March (and my half birthday), I thought featuring ballet flats would be perfect. I always feel a…
One of my latest obsessions: Trench Coats Okay, now I’ve always thought that I was not the type of girl who could pull one off. I always see these young professionals rushing around downtown DC with their trench coats on. (Or old men…) The classic coats felt “out of my league” a bit, I guess….
We’re on the cusp of October and November. Perfectly autumn. It’s finally (more consistently) chilly here in DC. In addition to scarves and boots, this can only mean one thing for me: Chai teas. (Please don’t hate me, but I like pumpkin… but not pumpkin spice lattes.) {via} On especially dreary (or stressful) days, I…
For Sweet Lemon, I picked my top five must haves for the fall! This was really hard because I love too many things to narrow it down to only five… but here they are: LOVE!!! Unfortunately, I have none of the items. But wish lists are pretty fun to create. Like, virtual-guilt-free shopping. I’ll take…
I think J. Crew does autumn best. I wish a little “Fall Weather Fairy” who’d drop off a few of these beauties at Georgetown for me. There’s something to be said about October and chilly weather and warm clothes. Ultra Knit Pullover Hoodie Library Blazer Perfect Shirt in Blackwatch Plaid Zip Leather Gloves Booker Boots…
We hit the ground running this weekend with all the fall fun. Our town’s new playground opened up on Friday so we blew off bath and bedtime and stayed out extra late. Then we had soccer practice in the morning of Saturday and our town’s big fall festival in the afternoon. It was sunny and…
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!

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 🫶🏻
