Summer Fridays are amazing. In the city, everyone basically lives for Friday. Some offices start an hour early and then people go home early… some end at lunch… some are off-site field trips for professional development or team building… some are completely off.
Levo doesn’t technically have Summer Fridays… but I always start early because I just know that my brain walks right out of the door at 2pm. My brain walks right out on out. Seriously. See ya.
Union Square is definitely not my most favorite part of the city… but I think it’s a great place to work. The subway station has all the convenient trains. There’s a Whole Foods, a Dunkin Donuts, two options for Starbucks, one hundred restaurants that serve margaritas within walking distance, Fifth Ave shopping right around the corner, and a super short walk to the Flatiron District (my favorite place)!
Oh… and the Union Square Greenmarket. The farmers market is literally so much fun to simply walk through. Walking through and seeing what the different vendors are selling after work on Friday is the perfect way to kick off the weekend. I love meeting up with friends who work in the area, walking around for a bit, and then grabbing dinner. The best.
The Kate Spade Thelma dress is pretty much my new favorite dress. I knew that I had to get it and I’m already planning on wearing it to a million different places this summer. It’s sweet, comfortable, and great for the heat. And the pockets and collar details? I die.
Love the dress! Sounds like loads of fun. When I'm in the city, I love walking around Newbury St with a coffee in hand. In the country, laying on the dock or deck with a book is my favorite. Gotta love summer!
You look so cute! And that little Minka is to die for. My Saturday mornings are usually reserved for brunch + market shopping for me…I love weekend rituals!!
Tell me about it! I just want to leave my job at like noon! Fridays during the summer are the worst because you are so close to the weekend but you still have to finish up the day!! aaahh
I love Summer Fridays. We don't have any set time to leave, but we're all gone by four to head out for post-work drinks together without fail every time.
When you don’t actually feel cute but then kind of end up feeling cute because you put a bow in your hair, slipped into a dress that fits, and swiped on your favorite red lipstick 💋 @hillhouse @annmashburn 🎥 by @carterfish, maybe I’ll post the video without music so you can hear her hyping me up, because you can’t imagine the crowd the bore witness to the making of this Reel 🫣
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻
