You should know, I’m still in love with Kate Spade. In fact, my love is ever growing. I still want to work there. I still wish I had everything in my closet. And I still would love to jump into the print ads and live there forever. Have you swung by the new redesigned site?…
Are you one of the lucky girls with dates for Valentine’s Day? There is one rule for getting dressed: There is no such thing as too much pink. I’m talking about pink nail polish, pink headbands, pink bracelets, pink purses, pink rings. Don’t hold back! Spritz yourself with Pink Sugar perfume if you must! As…
Someone asked me what my favorite part about blogging was (via my tumblr ask box). A lot of times people, mostly IRL (in real life), ask me WHY I blog. I basically give the short answer of, “Oh, it’s just so much fun!” (by the way- this is actually me blogging. A friend randomly snapped…
How cute would this dress be for a New Years Eve party. Or even just a NYE dinner date. Simple and elegant. But the bow gives it a pop of fun. Not to mention the color! Oooh how I love Kate Spade. xoxo PS What is everyone else wearing for NYE?
[College Prepster Note: I completely messed up and didn’t post this while in England… my bad!!! I’m so sorry Holly! But I do love this post, so I hope everyone takes a few minutes to read it!] As many of you know Carly is having a wonderfully preppy and posh time in England, and she…
Just Madras sent me an email to remind me that it’s MADRAS SEASON! Madras just screams summertime, beaches, pools, and fun. I’m so glad they reminded me too. My favorite favorite favorite boutique in Tampa carries Just Madras. The store front even has the madras pennants in the window! Normally I pop into Kate McKenzie’s…
I can’t let my sister graduate without stealing some of her spotlight… I have always been the jealous-sister-type. [One month old Sporty Sister was casually dumped out of her baby basket and replaced by a tremendously jealous two year old College Prepster way back in the day once. Unfortunately, there is photographic evidence of the…
I’m so jealous of all the Georgetown students who got to go to Foxfields this past weekend. I’ve been going through everyone’s Facebook albums lusting over the cuteness! We had the regatta on Saturday, so I couldn’t go…. maybe one day! Making her College Prepster debut: one of my bestest, cutest, most adorable friends Politician…
Okay, I know this is super, super short… but I didn’t have time to write a full episode. I need to keep Adelaide a little bit more up to date! I also want to reiterate that this is FICTION. Adelaide and I have similarities and some of the same quirks (e.g. I totally use my…

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.
