Bonjour! Coming to you live from Paris! I’ve only been here for one day and I totally “get” why people love this city so much. Every corner is beautiful and there is always something delightful to look at. All of my expectations (and they were high!) have been blown out of the water. I feel…
Do you guys have a lot of weddings coming up? Most of my friends are either already married or not in relationships, so I’ve been in a weird “in between” stage as far as weddings. I am going out to San Fransisco in the middle of October for the wedding of one of my boyfriend’s…
Now that we’re officially married, I wanted to share some of the details and behind the scenes of the planning. I’m going to try to be succinct (and coherent). I am half in disbelief we pulled it off. Let me also just say that there’s a difference between planning a small wedding… and planning a…
I went back and forth on how to set up this post– whether it should be one or two posts. I actually drafted this twice and I think it’s going to make the most sense to break it up into two parts. This part will have all of the details of our wedding… and the…
This entire week was one giant pinch-me moment. Honestly, it was so amazing… I’m not even sure where to begin. Even though I still have this stupid cold (and it randomly got really mad mid-week), I was go-go-go doing all sorts of fun things. On Monday night, a few bloggers (thank you Jess for organizing!!!) and…
The Freshman 50 Jr. I was quickly scrolling through the submissions from the survey I placed on my blog the other day. I was surprised, and a little excited, to see so many girls under the age of 18 reading College Prep. Then I started thinking about high school… and The Freshman 50. If I…
In an effort to explore my personal style more, I have been trying out new clothing brands. Specifically for dresses. Some of these I’ve already shared before, but I wanted to make it a full blog post because I know more of you are also in the same style journey. There are just so many brands…
If you haven’t heard of Rent the Runway, it’s going to be your new favorite thing. Just like what the name says, you can rent a special dress (or clutch or necklace or earrings) for an event. I mean… it’s pretty brilliant. I’ve rented from RTR before and always had exceptional experiences. It’s fun to be…
After a crazy week, it was a relief to have a normal non-eventful week around here! Phew! Nothing makes you appreciate “boring” like some real craziness. I am so looking forward to this weekend. No real plans other than going to our pond for “simming” (as Jack likes to say) and hanging in our backyard (the…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvines– the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. #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 we’re commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (🤭), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, I’m just so glad you’re here. I’ve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. We’ve gone through so many life stages together. 🫶🏻

A transitional outfit from @jcrew to bridge the gap between summer and fall with all of my favorite feminine touches. You can shop my whole look, including this must-have-for-fall quilted lady jacket, in my @shop.ltk shop! #injcrew #ad
send this to your best friend 🫶🏻
@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! There’s something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. 🫶🏻 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 it’s just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years ago… 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 Chili’s... Even as an extreme introvert, I’m kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. 🍂☕️🤎✨ (Comment “fall outfit” and I’ll send you a link to everything I’m wearing!)
Go sports! ⚽️✌🏻🥅 🤍 Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
