I love dressing for fall, but my growing bump makes it harder for me to feel motivated and be creative. Roundups like the best fall boots and best cashmere sweaters still have me dreaming of fall outfit ideas though…. so I thought it’d be fun to go through the archives of the past few years!…
I don’t know when it became so hard to find simple and classic bags but it has. When I think back to some of the bags I spent a lot of money on, almost all of them don’t hold up style-wise throughout the years. I am loving Coach’s selection right now. Classic beauties. Actually a few…
Today I’m sharing an outfit that I have worn a few times already “in real life.” I have largely been a fan of green for a while as I think it’s one of the colors that works well with my skin tone. But in the past year or so, my love for the color has…
So… I guess it’s February. Not going to lie, this is my favorite month. Hello, PINK is essentially the color of the month. And I love every single minute of it. I’m a few days late on this, but it’s okay since we get an EXTRA day!!! Here are my favorite pink things right now: Madewell…
I’ve never really liked the color orange. I had two shirts that were orange… and that was it. This was one of them. I think this was the only time that I ever wore it. But…. then Tuckernuck let me pick out something from their website. I have no idea why I was so drawn to…
Okay, on a scale of one to ten, I’m at a fifteen for excitement. This giveaway is great. Whether you’re heading back to school this fall, or starting a first job… or simply looking for a new bag, you will love this giveaway. Tuckernuck (one of my favorite online shopping destinations) will be giving away one…
I recently inherited a gorgeous Coach crossbody that used to be my grandmother’s. The color is such a rich and warm tan. It might just be the one of the things that I’m looking forward to using come fall. Even now, it works well with white jeans and navy tops. My handbag collection has certainly…
I know it’s a smidge early for gift guides, but I wanted to get a head start on this monogrammed gift one. Due to the nature of monogramming, it’s always a good idea to get a head start on personalization. Some items can take a few weeks to deliver, so I always recommend ordering as soon as possible to ensure they are tucked away under the Christmas tree in time.
This is one of my favorite outfits of the year! If I’ve learned anything so far during this pregnancy, it’s that if I’m not physically comfortable in my clothes, it’s going to be a miserable day. From head to toe, this is a winning look from a comfort level (!!!), but it also feels very…
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic.

Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
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.
