Back today with another installment of 1 Girl, 5 Outfits! This time we’re featuring Sara who lives in upstate New York. She emailed me with the idea of being featured as someone who doesn’t dwell in a city and I loved that idea. Hey there! My name is Sara Albinger, I’m (almost!) 27 years old…
I know! Two Gal Meets Glam dresses in one week! Honestly? I can’t get enough. It’s only a matter of time before my entire closet is GMG, and I’m totally okay with it. I keep saying this, but every dress seems to be better than the last. (And the bar was already set pretty high…
Backcountry is offering 20% off one item right now, and that includes PATAGONIA! This is the perfect opportunity to pick up a gift for someone (or yourself). Backcountry has the best gear on the market with free two-day shipping. I make a few purchases throughout the winter for new ski stuff, maybe a new coat to fill the void, and always for a gift or two.
I can’t believe I still have Nantucket photos. I seriously wish I could relive that week over and over again. I packed this dress for the trip and, surprise, it’s gingham. I’m all about a wrap dress but find them to be too fussy to deal with on an everyday basis, let alone while traveling. Thankfully…
I am having a “yes” problem right now. I go through serious phases with saying yes or no. I either stand my ground and say no to everything or I can’t help myself and say yes to everything. I wish I could figure out some kind of balance… I thought once I hit August that my travel…
This is going to be kind of a two-fold post. One to share this super cute mom and daughter look and I thought it would be interesting to kind of share what goes into a sponsored Instagram/post. This post isn’t sponsored, but I did work with Talbots to share their “Great Style Runs in the…
This is the dress I met while meeting Reese Witherspoon… so obviously, it’s going to be one that I treasure forever. I don’t think these are the best photos ever taken for the blog and I was tempted to trash them haha, but the dress itself is too good to not share. You know when you…
I’m reposting the graphic below (that I put together last year) with some updated links. I’m proud of these classics and find that they truly are classics. Everything is STILL, well, a classic and therefore still just as a relevant. You can’t go wrong. TRENCH COAT Splurge // Moderate // Budget WAX COTTON COAT Splurge…

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.
