I’m not sure what’s better about the weather currently… Being able to actually enjoy outdoor activities or being able to wear sandals. Actually, I think it’s being able to enjoy outdoor activities while wearing sandals. This weekend, I got fresh pedicure (Essie “Carousel Coral”) to celebrate the warm weather.
One of my favorite places to go to relax and have fun with friends is the High Line. Lots of people watching and it’s a fun break from the concrete jungle. I met up with my friend Jess and her friend from back home… Such a gorgeous afternoon!
HELLO SUNSHINE!
Growing up in Florida, I have my fair share of sandals. But I used to only get flats. Now that I’m in the city, I am super into wedges. Perfect to go from playing during the day to dinner/drinks at night. (Oh, and way better to walk around in than heels!) Love the Kate Spade “Nice” Wedge!
Nordstrom has sandals for everyone right now. I’ve been super into gold because it looks great with everything and dresses up a sandal a bit more. Nordstrom is a great place to shop for shoes online because there’s free (super fast!!) shipping and free return shipping too… and they carry all my favorite brands.
There are so many brands/styles, but I went through and pulled some more metallic gold styles I love. (Each would look great with white jeans and spring dresses!)
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻

I was a die-hard white gold/silver fan my whole life, but lately, I've been really drawn to gold. I may need to pick up some gold accessories.
What a perfect outfit! Those wedges are perfect and look great with your outfit!
