I’ve been looking for a great white t-shirt for a while. White tees are a major staple in my closet during the summer. I typically stock up from Old Navy or Target but I haven’t found one that I really love. Not kidding, I’ve tried at least twelve different white tees on in the past month….
Another Monday, another (healthy! affordable! simple!) recipe from Louisa. I’m all about this recipe because it’s cool and won’t heat up the house while cooking. (We’ve had to really cut back on cooking because our tiny apartment gets so, so hot when we turn the stove and oven on.) White Bean Tuna Salad Guest Post by Louisa…
Ugh…. I hate to admit it, but we are seriously pushing into the dreaded winter months. I’ve been wearing skirts and dresses as much as possible because those days are numbered. As comfortable as I feel in a pair of jeans, I’m not a huge pants kind of girl… and jeans can sometimes get boring…
I’m totally spoiling a little bit of the surprise of my Christmas gifts this year. I usually pop in after Christmas gifts have been open to share what I got everyone. (Which I’m totally doing again this year because I LOVE the gifts I bought.) But I have to share the ones I’m most excited…
Today’s a special edition of 1 Girl, 5 Outfits. I’m taking a small spring break to go out west to ski, but after Katie sent me these photos I think I chose the wrong climate!! Hi! My names Katie and I live in a small beach town on the East Coast of Florida. It’s about 30…
I took these photos in front of Onieal’s in Hoboken. They have my very favorite burger (of all time) and, funny enough, I’m writing this as I just polished off a burger I got to go. Totally unrelated to the outfit, but I’m just sitting here typing away feeling perfectly full and happy and felt…
We’ve been having very, very fall-y days and it’s making me so in the mood for Halloween. (I’ve also been watching Sabrina on Netflix and that’s *definitely* getting me into the spooky spirit.) Our mornings have been dark, the days have been drizzly and foggy, and I kind of love it. Normally it wouldn’t be…
With all of the gingham I’ve been wearing lately, it inspired me to share a few different ways to style one of my favorite prints. I pretty much alternate between gingham and stripes all summer long! My rule of thumb when styling gingham is to stick with a neutral, navy, and white color palette for…
I’ve been reluctant to share workwear in the past since every office has a different dress code, and it’s challenging to make a generalization that applies to everyone. Then if you take the last year into account, when most people transitioned to working from home, it adds a WHOLE other layer of complexity. But I…
Mom and dad proof of life ✌🏻 Also, what a difference it makes having a baby that takes a bottle 🙏🏻 It felt WILD to me going out! Still figuring out pumping on the go, and still went back home to nurse overnight… but wow!

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!
