I refuse to think about riding boots and cable knit sweaters just yet. I’m bracing myself for when all the stores switch over their summer inventory for the fall inventory. But for the time being, there are still some great deals out there! I rounded up over twenty items under $50!!!
I have to admit, I’ve never liked turtlenecks…. I have horrible memories as a child feeling like I was choking. I have memories of pulling that tight little neck part over my head and having the frizziest, most staticky curls in the world. And, of course, I have memories of that itchy itchy itchyness. One…
I love doing these posts… and they’re my favorite ones to read on other blogs. Highlighting the things that are “trending” in our personal lives is just, well, fun. This has been an exceptional week. Super amazing highs and minimal-ish stress. Win, win. (It was also randomly long. I’ve had meetings and appointments every day…

A month or so ago, Devon Baer sent me one of the most beautiful tunics… ever. It’s so perfect for the holiday season. From the versatility to the ruffles to the print. It’s perfect. The tunic has turned into my go-to for holiday parties. (I’ve already worn it three times… three different ways!) Here are…
Visiting NYC? I’ve put together some of my favorite places, things, and activities in the city. photo via Sasa Stucin EAT Ladurée in SoHo 398 W Broadway A touch of French magic in the middle of SoHo. Like Ladurée on the Upper East Side, the macarons are simply some of the best the…
I spent the most amazing weekend with old friends in beautiful Massachusetts. The leaves were very much in full fall foliage. Beautiful colors and an all around beautiful crispness, despite a constant drizzle. As much as I’ve loved September (it’s been an all around great month), I’m very much happy to welcome in October!!! I’m…
The other day, someone asked me on Tumblr to predict what shoe was going to be popular for the fall. I think riding boots, loafers, and desert boots will still be as popular as ever. (At least I very much intend on wearing mine still!!!) But I think a new trend is going to be…
These photos are about a month old, and I forgot to post them! Sadly, I think the days of bare legs in the park are gone until next summer. The past few days have been frigid here in Connecticut. It definitely gets colder, but there’s something about that first cold spell that feels particularly harsh. So far I’ve resisted wearing gloves, but I did have to dig through my storage drawers to find them (just in case).
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. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
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.
