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.
🎧 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.
