Maxie is one of those super close friends that I have with whom I can share anything with. She’s been the first to hear great news countless times. She has heard me cry, brainstorm, and vent. She’s been a cheerleader, a support system, a sounding board, and a constructive critic. I’ve done the same for her….
I’ve been really struggling to stay organized lately. The month leading up to our move to Connecticut was hectic and chaotic. It was right in the middle of back to school (big blog time!) and we had a trip out to Indiana. Then we moved and pretty much immediately hit the ground running with a…
This weekend was really the perfect getaway. The city is insane, and sometimes it blows my mind how it’s only a quick train ride out of the craziness. Lucky for Garrett and I, we have amazing friends who let us come out to their house for Memorial Day weekend. We love Howie, Jana, and (of course)…
This was a week of HIGHS and LOWS. I’d honestly prefer to just coast right down the middle of life, but sheesh, it was a trying week. Thankfully I ended the week with the highs and I think it’s safe to say that it sort of made those lows worth it. I’ll do a longer…
To be completely honest, most of my time with Maxie is spent while we’re across the country from each other. (Sometimes I have to check “Find My Friends” because you never really know where in the world Maxie might be on any given day.) And this is the same for a couple of my friends too!…
Just wanted to share a few recent purchases… WINDOWPANE RUFFLED BLOUSE I know I’m going to be spending a lot of the fall in jeans and cozy outfits. I thought this blouse was a good balance of cute and comfy…. ANKLE SOCKS This is not very exciting… but I needed new socks. I HATE socks…
Cashmere is my ultimate clothing weakness. Once I was able to start affording cashmere pieces here and there in my 20s, there was no going back. I’d rather have a few great cashmere sweaters than a bunch of lower quality ones. COZIEST CASHMERE J. Crew just released this sweater and I immediately added to my…
A super casual and cozy week of outfits, bare feet and all! We barely did anything this past week… which definitely seems to be the new winter normal. It felt VERY cold too with lots of on and off flurries. No snow accumulation, but we’d get these dark clouds move over and then flurries almost…
I’m a little late to posting this, but better late than never right? Is anyone else trying to read more this year? I’m not trying to read more volume wise (I made no goals this year), but I am trying to endĀ every night with reading. I fell into a bad habit last year of opting…
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»

@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
