My gallery wall is finally finished! When we were apartment hunting in Connecticut, I knew I wanted an office space. Not necessarily a room, but definitely a dedicated space. Even a nook off a living room would have been fine. My desk in NYC was a foot away from the end of my bed and…
This week flew by. And that sadly means that summer also flew by. I always feel like it’s a slippery slope between the Fourth of July and pumpkin picking. One minute it’s summer, you blink, and bam! It’s October. It’s one of the reasons why I never look forward to my birthday– it means summer is…
This has been a great week! My mom and dad came into town and I’ve been having the best time showing them around. We even made a trip out to Fishkill Farms again for a little apple picking and pumpkin picking. I would honestly go every day if I had the chance. We had the windows of…
I’m so late to the game, per usual, but I’ve been really eyeing a bunch of mid-length skirts. I love maxi skirts, but I struggle to pull off long dresses and skirts. (Plus, I’m clumsy… and long skirts + high heels would be asking for trouble…) When I was looking for dresses for Henley (they have…
I haven’t traveled out of the country extensively, but when I have, it’s always been pretty much entirely disconnected. My eighth grade class traveled to Italy and we used calling cards (ha) and payphones (HA) to reach our parents. When I was in London training for Henley, we bought prepaid basic mobile phones for emergencies…
Someone asked me a question on Tumblr that really got me thinking… She asked if I had any regrets in my life. Sometimes I think that I move so fast through life that I don’t have time to really sit back and dwell on the coulda/shoulda/wouldas. (I mean really, it feels like the weather was…
Remember #ProjectApartment? It’s still coming along. Way slower than I originally anticipated, but we’re getting somewhere. I officially renewed my lease last month so I knew that I wanted to do a couple more “permanent” things. In college, I felt like I was constantly moving. Moving into dorms, out of dorms, into temporary dorms (for summer crew…
It’s weird… I really never missed crew after I quit. I had an amazing senior year without the sport (truthfully). I definitely do not regret my decision to quit. At all. However, I kind of do miss it. I think it’s like missing any part of college (sororities, friends, exams– LOL just kidding). While I only…
I am a huge fan of Sugarfina candies. It’s actually one of my most favorite gifts to give and receive. I love sending the bento boxes for birthdays and if someone sends me a box or two of the sugar lips candies I will love them forever. I’ve even done Sugarfina chocolate bars as my…
Long live fall fashion 🍂 loving the @indiahicksstyle x @tuckernuck collaboration! #tuckernucking

Happy October 11 to all who celebrate 🎂”Your birthday is October 11?! So is mine!” SIX years later and these parent trap Halloween costumes remain as relevant as ever (frankly maybe even more relevant). Forever grateful to @carlyahill, the Hallie Parker to my Annie James. I believe there was a cultural reset the day we did this 🙊
Sometimes I actually can’t believe I’m a mom? Like I’m standing there holding a baby dressed in a bear fleece bunting watching my toddler running around and thinking, “whoa, these are my CHILDREN? I am a MOM???” Crazy and amazing 🫶🏻
Hunter boots 🤝🏻 Carly
I know, I know, they never went “out” in my opinion too, but I love seeing them come back into mainstream fashion. (As they should IMO!) These red boots were one of my first viral commissionable products on my blog- they took OFF on Pinterest and the rest was history. Feels like revisiting an old friend 😌 I bought these red ones right before a press trip to Scotland (!) with Barbour (!!) and I have the best memories. It’s a good reminder to “buy nice or buy twice.” Ten years later and we’re still going strong!

What would Audrey Hepburn wear in 2024? I think she’d wear something like this! Shop my head to toe look from @EvereveOfficial in my LTK Shop! https://liketk.it/4SYrI #EverevePartner #EvereveStyle
Can you believe that Teddy is 11 years old? We recently switched to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It combines all the benefits of raw nutrition with the convenience of kibble. Each kibble-sized bite is crafted with freeze-dried raw meat and individually prepared ingredients for optimal digestibility, making it extremely convenient AND nutritious. #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
Ready for a fresh start this month. September is usually my favorite month of the year and I feel like it went by so fast I hardly got to enjoy it- the whole thing was a blur. Ready to savor October- I have a list of things I want to try to do (like sewing the boys’ Halloween costumes 🎃 and keep practicing my sourdough 🍞). If nothing else, I’m trying to take a moment *every day* to do something, even the tiniest 5-minute interlude, that brings me a moment of peace.
PS I definitely need to add some of the bigger blooms but I didn’t want to sacrifice them just yet 🙈
A simple September Sunday 🌧️💛 We’ve been trying to get out and do one last weekend adventure after naptime on Sunday afternoons before gearing back up for the weekday routine. Not even the rain could stop us!
Maybe this Reel isn’t exactly “instagram worthy” but it’s exactly what life looks and feels like right now and THAT is worthy of a permanent spot on the feed 🫶🏻
