I just have to pop over today to share some fashion PSAs. Barbour coats are on sale! This rarely happens… so if you’re in the market for a new Barbour coat, now is the time! If you’re curious, they’re pretty forgiving size-wise. I wear the US2 so it’s a bit more form fitting when zipped…
I don’t know what it is about this week, but I’ve been scrambling to find outfits. Yes, there are the things I wear on a daily basis (my favorite jeans and cable knit sweaters currently)… but I have trips coming up and little events and some meetings and I just needed a tiny bit of…
This weekend was so fun. Mackenzie, Emily, Amy, and I went to Boston for the Head of the Charles and made a whole girls’ weekend out of it. I loved being back around rowing (as a spectator…) and seeing so many of my old teammates from college and high school. Boston in general was too fun. We…
It’s officially boot season here. And I am so excited! I just think boots look super cute with tons of different outfits. But, they’re also one of my favorite things to wear because… I always wear crazy socks underneath. Always. It’s kind of like how tech venture capitalists wear funny socks. I only like to wear…

SM and me down at the waterfront for the regatta on Saturday. Note the VB Umbrella, VV Nor’Easter, and LL Bean Boots! Don’t worry everyone! My Green Apple Vera Bradley umbrella has been replaced! Soccer Mom brought it up to DC this weekend. The print is Cupcakes Pink and I just absolutely love it. My…
I feel like I always fail to make great salads at home. Why do they always taste so much better if someone else makes them 😉 Will definitely want to give these salads from Louisa a try– especially the watermelon and vermicelli ones!! 5 Salads to Try Before the End of Summer Guest post by Louisa…
I’m excited to partner with thredUP on this post today. After advice for starting a blog, my next most asked question is how to build a wardrobe on a budget, without sacrificing style or quality. I have been using thredUP for a couple of years actually. It’s one of the websites I always go to when I’m looking for a particular item of clothing from a past season.
Ah! This was such a fun week!! Many trips into the city, dinners every night with friends, and a few fun events. Including… an event for the launch of Lilly Pulitzer’s coffee table book. (It also comes in a few gorgeous special editions.) I love coffee table books, and this one is so incredibly well done. It’s packed…
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical. Don’t forget to use my exclusive code CARLYROYAL15 to save 15% off for the next 48 hours. Valid once per shopper. #MCPartner #RoyalCheckCollection
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.
