When I turned 25 this year, I wanted to treat myself to something nice. Last year, I splurged on a curling iron… But this year I really wanted something special and nice. 25 is a big milestone in my opinion. I went back and forth on a couple of super nice handbags, but nothing really…
Anyone else in a funk? I am sliding in and out of this weird funk. As in one minute I’m on Cloud 9 and the next I’m near tears (or crying). Everything seems to set me off in one way or another. Womp. (Maybe it’s the end-of-summer-blues?) This helps. I saw the absolute best video on…
I wanted to bake something this weekend. I know there’s all these memes and what not about baking banana bread, but I think there’s something to it! The ingredients are pretty minimal and bread can be breakfast, a snack, or dessert. (I’d think twice about having a slice of cake at 9am but have no…
Last week, I had the chance to hop on a call with Marla Malcolm Beck, co-founder of Bluemercury. Bluemercury is one of my favorite places to buy makeup. The thing that’s really different about Bluemercury? All of the employees are incredibly knowledgable about the products. When I went to Georgetown, I’d pop in every now and then…
I think the best way to measure the week is that I’ve been at (almost) inbox zero before going to bed every night. I’ve been trying to really prioritize staying on top of things. With lots of travel coming up, sometimes the best way to not get too far behind is to properly stay ahead before…
The Teen Vogue + Sperry Top-Sider photoshoot was so much fun. It was a bit chilly, but I think the results were well worth the goosebumps. You can check out the first peek at the photos on my Instagram (don’t forget you can win your own pair!) and the rest of the photos will be…
This week was pretty uneventful in a good way. Good balance of productivity and giving myself grace for quieter moments. I have felt more creative than I have in a while. Between crafting and writing and editing video and shooting content alone, I have been flexing that muscle quite a bit. I like it a…
Have you ever had one of those weeks where you feel like you wake up on Monday morning, blink, and then it’s Friday? I mean, where did the week go?! I have so many fun things coming up that I’ve been antsy to get through the boring stuff. My best friend in the entire world is…
If you’ve been on Pinterest for more than five minutes in the past couple of weeks, I’m sure you’ve seen this photo from Paris Couture Week. Oh, my swoon radar went off the charts. The blue and white is such a delicate look, but also quite a bold statement. Unfortunately, the dress (after a bit…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvinesā the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. https://liketk.it/4Rcup #ad #edsftg
With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether weāre commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (š¤), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, Iām just so glad youāre here. Iāve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. Weāve gone through so many life stages together. š«¶š»

send this to your best friend š«¶š»
@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! Thereās something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. š«¶š» We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and itās just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years agoā¦ that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chiliās... Even as an extreme introvert, Iām kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. šāļøš¤āØ (Comment āfall outfitā and Iāll send you a link to everything Iām wearing!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
