How fitting… April was all about style. I’ve kind of admitted that I don’t really have great style beyond what I find to be comfortable and whatever. Literally, ballet flats were definitely invented for girls like me. Less than graceful me prefers to not test gravity. I have a ridiculous collection of blue button downs and half of my closet is more suited for the beach than busy Manhattan.
If you follow me on Twitter or keep up with Levo League, than you must know who Kathryn is! Kathryn works at Levo with me and just so happens to sit across from me at work. She’s hilarious and has the absolute best style. Honestly, every morning that she walks into the office, we all take note of what she’s wearing. And by “take note,” I mean it. It’s not uncommon for someone to wear the exact same thing as Kathryn the next day. Yep. Guilty.
While watching an Office Hours, Kathryn was inspired to create her own “sidle hustle.” Kathryn has recently launched her own website (and blog!). I volunteered my closet as a guinea pig for her new project.
It was amazing.
Kathryn and I spent all afternoon going through my closet (oh my was that a task) and then caught up on the stoop of my apartment to debrief.
Some of the outfits that Kathryn put together for me. (A lot of my clothes are older so I tried to find similar options in case you want to replicate!)
J. Crew Striped Dress (similar) // Bass Weejuns (similar)
One of the pieces that we kept going to over and over again was this linen blazer from Theory that I’ve had for years. It’s funny because I rarely wear it, but Kathryn totally made it work with so many different looks.
Oh my gosh you totally have style! But I do have to admit she helped create some totally adorable looks, go Kathryn! xxoo Jordyn http://www.thefairyprincessdiaries.com
Love all the looks. P.S. you rock a denim shirt better than anyone I have ever seen. Have thought that before. I can't quite seem to pull them off the same way. But you look amazing !
I love the looks with the fitted blazers. I definitely prefer them to the looser cardigans because no matter your shape or size you look thinner and always polished!
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life. Whether I’m folding laundry, driving to preschool drop-off, or squeezing in a solo walk, I can dive into a story at the touch of a button—and @Audible makes it so easy.

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
Holding on for dear life this December ❤️ I have had SO MANY conversations this week with my friends near and far and we are *all* struggling. I have to say, just knowing it’s not just me feeling the pressure of “end of year-holiday magic- cold/flu/stomach bug season-darkest days of the year,” has made it a little easier to handle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too 😮💨 (Telling myself this because I could use the reminder too!)
If I hadn’t already mailed our Christmas cards*, I would be ordering a reprint because this first photo is IT. ⭐️💂🏻♀️
*Actually only half because for some reason, I didn’t order enough? Our list must have grown over the past year or I just underestimated how many people were on it! I had to order more so the second half will be going out later whoops!!
Traded in my mom jeans for a @jcrew tuxedo this holiday season! Whether you’re dressing up, getting cozy, or picking out a gift for someone special, J. Crew has you covered! #injcrew #sponsored

#ZarbeesPartner I love putting together thoughtful gifts for new moms and their families. Especially as the seasons change, having the right products helps everyone feel prepared and at ease. You can never predict when your household will get hit by a cold or flu so I always recommend having trusted products on hand so you’re never left in a pinch. For this gift, I included our go-to @zarbees Baby Daytime & Nighttime Cough Syrup + Immune. Made with organic agave to soothe baby’s dry throat and zinc to support their immune system, it’s safe for little ones 6 months and older. The nighttime formula even has chamomile to calm and comfort before bedtime—a must-have for peaceful nights 💛 Be prepared and order on @amazon.
